Changing from single page view to facing pages.

[Ira Glunts]

I want to change a single page view to facing pages.  When I go to document setup and choose facing pages I get single pages which are shifted but not facing (see above).  What must I do to correct this?

Thanks,

Possibly maybe there is no 2nd page in the Parent Page section.

[Ira Glunts]

Thanks.  You are correct.  I created a parent B page but that was not enough.  How do I add the appropriate second parent?  Thanks.

Can you show us your pages panel with the parent pages visible? 

[Ira Glunts]

I guess I need to add another parent page. Correct?  I added another blank parent page but that apparently is not all that is required. 

How do I add the appropriate second parent, if I am understanding this correctly.

Again, thanks for the help.

First things first because selecting facing page should have given you the spreads view, remove those section breaks and open the pages panel menu and choose allow document pages to shuffle and allow selected spreads to shuffle.

Should look like this:

What do you mean by removing page breaks?  I added a second facing page parent at the suggestion of Eugene Tyson.  Allowed selected pages and spreads to shuffle.

I now notice that only the last two pages show as facing pages.

Thanks again for the help with this.

Read it again, I said section breaks, not page breaks.

[Ira Glunts]

OK.  Do you mean the section markers that are triangles on the pages panel?  If so, how do remove them?

Right click the page in the pages panel. Choose Numbering and Section Options. Uncheck Start Section from the dialog box that will appear.

[Ira Glunts]

OK.  That did it.  Thanks to you and the others in the community who helped with this.

Glad you finally got it sorted.

Thanks.

Clic on the parent page and go to it by double clicking

In the Parent Page options (fly out menu top right) select the option (can't remember off top of my head) and you should be able to choose the amount of pages so select 2. 

Then ensure the docuement is facing pages.

In the page panel select all page thumbs and in the panel menu select Allow shuffle pages.

If the document had been designed as single pages, then 2 steps change it to facing pages:

1. File > Document Setup > Facing Pages turned ON

and

2. Go to the Pages panel and select the Parent page. Alt/Option click it or otherwise choose Pages panel menu button > Parent Options and choose number of pages: 2; ok.
