InDesign 3page layout?

Asked by tomasreichmann (125points) November 12th, 2009

Hi, I am making a sort of a flyer for this insurance company. The format is a A4 folded twice! So that it has 3 ‘pages’ on each side of the paper folded in a zig-zag way. I made a 3 page master layout with text boxes in InDesign and added text to the first page. It made 4 new pages, because of the length of the text. The first 3 are ok, but the last one is alone on its side an the add page icon only adds one more, so it has only two pages on the side. There is no way to drag the last page there or apply the master so that the 3rd page appears where it should. Did anyone encountered this problem? Does anyone has a solution for that? I would appreciate it very much. :-)

I would make it a two page A4 document (non-facing pages), and use guides on a master page to mark where the folds are.

I agree. This will also allow you to have graphic elements that flow from page to page.

And also, you printer will definitely prefer to receive your file this way so they don’t need to piece panels together on their end.

How do I make non-facing pages?
You mean like a single page master?

When you create a new document, in the preceding document setup dialog box, un-check the “Facing Pages” checkbox.

If your document is already created, navigate to “File->Document Setup” and un-check the “Facing Pages” checkbox there.
