qq. i am designing a brochure for the first time in InD CS2. when you use facing pages....does this mean that the spreads (2-3, 4-5, etc) literally corespond to those page numbers or are they spreads so when the brochure is bound, they will be 2 and 9 or whatever? basically can i safely design in numerical order even though the pages in InD look like they would be spreads? am i making sense? sorry for the silly question....i am hoping i do not have to figure out page numbers.....

usually that's left for the printer to worry about in pre-press. design it the way it's meant to be viewed (in spreads), and the production house will reflow the pages for their press signatures.
or did I misunderstand?

think this is great news. so basically page 1 is the cover, page 2 is page 2, page 3 is page 3 and so on. the printer deals with front and backs and spreads and such?
please say yes.....

Once you've finished your layouts you can go to: file>InBooklet SE and then go to the preview option and the pages should be in the appropriate order. Hope that helps.

I've never played with PPirate's recommendation, but just let the printer deal with it. Same goes for Quark or any layout program.

thanks for your input. just to clarify, do the layouts page for page in inD and the printer will deal with the ordering (which pages need to be printed on the front and back of the actaully full spread sheets)?
again, this is my first time using this program...sorry if i sound like a dumb head

When you create a new document you'll be asked to be in the number of pages you want. InD will sort out which is your front and back page.

+ in my experience some printers can be a bit hit n miss. so if ou have multipage brochure that u want to fold in any special ways n stuff.
do a decent mock up and get ur self a press pass to see the first few ones come off the line.+ if you do hardback books on indesign remember to take into consideration endpapers etc etc
probably just pointed ou really obvious stuff :)

nothing is too obvious in my case....many thanks.
