Tip No. 14
The default position for an odd-numbered page in a facing
pages document is a right-hand page. When you create a new
document and insert blank pages, page one always begins on
the right (below left). You may want to break up a large document
into multiple files. In order to preserve the appearance of
page spreads while you work on them, use the page section
feature to renumber the first page as an even number. This
will force the first page into being a left-hand page. The
page section dialog is accessed by clicking Page > Section.
In the dialog, put a checkmark in the "Section Start" checkbox
and assign a number to the page in the "Number" box (below
right).
 |
Next move a page into the empty slot so the document consists
of spreads: |
|
Start a new section beginning
with page number 2 as above.
|
|
Drag any page except 3 into
the empty slot to the right of page 2. |
|
The document will now consist
of spreads only. |

The asterisk next to page 2 above signifies a section start.
Tip No. 15
Quark™ automatically renumbers and reflows pages and
in the process will reapply master pages if page positions
switch from left to right or right to left. In the above example,
every page will have been renumbered and the masters will
have changed. This can create undesirable effects in your
document because Quark will apply new master pages underneath
your page objects in the stacking order and the appearance
of your pages can change drastically (more
here). In order to prevent this when moving pages, you
must make sure that it doesn't cause them to be reflowed in
the process. Using the previous example in Tip No. 14, if
you move page 3 into the empty slot, its master page will
switch from left to right, but the remaining pages will remain
untouched because the numbering sequence will not have changed:
Note: When setting up documents and moving
pages around as in the above examples, it is best to do it with
blank pages before laying out any pages in the document.
Tip No. 16
In facing page documents, to preserve spreads and prevent
reflowing of pages along with consequent changes in master
pages, insert or delete pages in spreads, contiguous blocks
of spreads or pages at the end of the document:
| Page spreads |
|
Contiguous blocks of spreads |
|
Pages at the end of the document |
