Can't copy pages to specific location in Adobe InDesign

I want to copy the pages right after the selected ones using the "alt" key. However, when I press "alt" while moving the selected pages, nothing appears. The copy symbol only appears if I move the cursor a bit further, but then the copied pages end up at the end of the document instead of where I want them.

 

This problem doesn't occur with just one page; it only happens when I try to copy multiple pages. What could be causing this issue?

 

I know about a Move pages command but I found it more complicated than regular mouse dragging.

Just to make sure: first press and hold(!) the alt key then click and drag... That isn't working for you?

Yes, I can confirm this behavior when copying multiple pages (but not one page) using this method.

Thank you for the information, @b fdb df38654196bs2t. I would recommend you to install InDesign version 19.5 and see if the issue persists. Unfortunately, older versions like 17.0.1 x64 will not receive further fixes.

 

Let us know how it goes!

 

Best,

Anshul Saini
