Question
I am assembling a catalog.  I have 40 pages saved as individual files.  Each page has a .tif placed in it with text over it.  I know I can create a 40-page document and copy and paste each page into it, but is there a way I can use the Pages Palette to do this more quickly?

Answer
Hi Monelle,

Yes. Open the first document. Now open the second and with the windows side by side, click and drag the page from the pages palette in the second document and drop it on the window for the first.

You will get a dialog for Insert Page asking where in the document it should be inserted.

Now continue this with the rest of your document.

Thanks,

Ken Black
