Question
Recently I noticed that I'm missing my master and none icons in the Pages
Palate. I can see the text, but I can't see the icons. I also can't use my scroll bar
bc it also disappeared. How do you restore the pages palate so I can see my
icons and scroll bar?

Answer
Hi Stacy,

I'm not sure if your icons are missing, or possibly just hiding outside of your screen. Here's a couple things I would try.

First, let's revert to the default InDesign workspace by choosing Window > Workspace > [Default].

If that doesn't work, you can remove the Pages palette from it's locked position against the side of your screen by clicking and dragging it on the little tab that says Pages. Pull it out into the middle of your screen to see if it's intact. You can also put it back by dragging it back in to any palette you'd like.

If neither of these work, I would try going under the fly-out menu of the Pages palette (the little circle with the triangle in it at the top of the palette) and choose Palette Options. Then deselect both of the Show Vertically check boxes. This will bring your icons underneath the Master and None text instead of beside them.

Hope this helps, let me know if there's anything else I can do.
