When you add or delete pages, you'll need to be working on the foreground of your publication. If you're not, switch to Normal view before using the following procedures.
Add a page
-
In your open publication, turn to the page that will come before or after the pages you want to add.
-
On the Insert tab, click the arrow below the Page button.
-
Select an option:
-
Insert blank page to insert a new blank page after the currently selected page.
Note: If you're in two-page spread view, two pages will be inserted.
-
Insert duplicate page to insert a new page containing the same content as the currently selected page.
Note: If you are in a Two-Page Spread view, you will be asked if you want to insert duplicates for both pages, just the left page, or just the right page.
-
Insert page to open the Insert Page dialog box. Select the options you want, and then click OK.
-
Tip: To quickly insert a new blank page after the currently selected page, simply click the Page button (not the arrow below it).
Delete a page
When you delete a page, only text and objects specific to that page are deleted along with the page. For example, if the page contains text from a chain of connected frames, the text will simply move to an adjacent page.
-
In your open publication, turn to the page you want to delete.
-
In the Page Navigation pane, right-click the page you want to delete, and then click Delete.
If you're in two-page spread view, the Delete Page dialog box will appear. Select the option you want, and then click OK.
Tip: To avoid turning the current right-hand pages into left-hand pages, delete an even number of pages.
