number. You can assign names to objects, layers and pages (except Publication pages); assigned names will appear in the layout list. Adding, deleting, and moving pages and layers To change a document’s layout, you can add, delete, and move pages and layers. You can do this in the Document Layout palette or use commands in the Layout menu. In addition, you can arrange, copy, and delete objects in the Document Layout palette. To add pages In the Document Layout palette, click the New Page button. Canvas adds a page, sheet, slide, or frame to the end of the document. In the list, the item’s name is the next number in sequence. You can also add pages by choosing Add Page (Sheet/Slide/Frame) in the palette’s menu. A dialog box lets you change the page name. To add multiple pages Commands in the Layout menu let you insert multiple pages into a document. 1 Choose Insert in the Layout > Pages (Sheets/Slides/Frames) submenu. 2 A dialog box appears. Enter the number of pages you want to add, choose a location to insert the new pages, and then click OK. To add layers In the Document Layout palette, select a page or layer and click  the Add Layer button. Canvas adds a new layer to the current page. You can also add layers by choosing Add Layer in the palette’s menu. A dialog box lets you change the layer’s name and select other options (see “Page and layer options” on page 12.137). Arranging items To move pages, layers, or objects, you can drag them in the layout list. If you drag to a collapsed part of the list, the list expands. Canvas does not rename layers if you change their order or move them to other pages in the list. If you change the order of pages, Can- vas will rename them, unless you have given them unique names. Tip You can merge layers, which moves objects from a source to a destination layer and deletes the source layer. Click the source layer to select it in the layout list. Shift-click the destination layer. Choose Merge Layers in the palette’s menu.
