Adobe InDesign/Page sizing

Advertisement


Question
I am constructing an 8.5x11 document that has a fold-out figure, and I need to make a single page within that document be 11x17 for the fold-out.  Is this an option in InDesign CS ver 3.0?

Answer
Hi Price,

Inside ID, every page has to be the same size, so you can't have one page letter, and the next page tabloid. But you can create the same effect.

Go to the pages panel menu and choose "all document pages to shuffle" now drag a second page directly to the right of one of your pages and you will have an extra page connected that will behave as a fold out. It maybe be tricky at first, but you can get it to happen.
