Add or delete pages

You'll need to be working on the foreground of your publication when you add or delete pages. If you're not, remove the check mark next to Master Page (View menu) before using the following procedures.

Add a page

Any page that you add to a publication will contain that publication's layout guides and background objects.

  1. In your open publication, turn to the page that will either come before or after the pages you want to add. 
  2. On the Insert menu, click Page.
  3. In the Insert Page dialog box, select the options you want, and then click OK.

Note   If you're in Two-Page Spread view, it's best to add an even number of pages.

Delete a page

When you delete a page, only text and objects specific to that page are deleted along with the page. For example, if the page contains text from a chain of connected frames, the text will simply move to an adjacent page.

  1. In your open publication, turn to the page you want to delete.

  2. On the Edit menu, click Delete Page.

Note   If you're in Two-Page Spread view, it's best to delete an even number of pages.

Delete the contents of a page without deleting the page itself
