Handling 'Different Page Size' Warning When Moving Pages Between InDesign Documents

[Roger Breton]

I am trying to copy one page out of Document A to Document B.

Both documents, AFAIK, share the same page sizes?

Yet when I activate the Page > Move page command, after selecting my options and pressing the OK button, I get this warning  (French UI):

In essence, it's telling me that InDesign refuses to move the page to Document B because the page "format" is different from Document A.

I wish that command would let the poor user know what page format attribute is different?

It's not enough to reject the user needs without offering any kind of help. Have a heart, Mr Adobe!

FWIW, both documents are single page, Letter size with zero margins and no bleeds.

I could have 1) Select All, 2) Copy , 3) Paste the content into an empty Document B page manualy. I know.

In the end, I splitted the InDesign windows to two, vertically, so that I could see both document windows  side by side : I dragged the page thumbnail from Document A page palette onto Document B window and release. And it worked.

I got a warning but it just said that item positions may not match. With my extremely primitive understanding of French, it appears your dialog box is reading the same. It did work.

It worked for you? Did you merely pressed the OK button? 
I just tried it again and, after pressing the OK button, the page wasn't moved at all, here 😞
Thanks for looking into it.

Yes--however, I did a simple test of Letter and Legal pages (8.5x11 inches and 8.5x14 inches).
