I'm working on a multi-page annual report. Normally when I'm laying it out in InDesign, I'd set two "actual" pages on a single InDesign page, like this:
Spread 1 - page 8 / page 1 (or back / front covers)
Spread 2 - page 2 / page 7
Spread 3 - page 6 / page 3
Spread 4 - page 4 / page 5
So basically, for each of the two pages side-by-side I'm working on a single 17x11 InDesign page that will then fold down to the normal 8.5x11 pages, set up so they're laid out as the printer would bind them rather than in sequential order.
However, I'd like to try designing the layout "normally," as in:
Spread 1 - page 1 (front cover)
Spread 2 - page 2 / page 3
Spread 3 - page 4 / page 5
Spread 4 - page 6/ page 7
Spread 5 - page 8 (back cover)
...so I'm not having to deal with viewing the layouts "out of order," as it were. So my question is, is that what the Facing Pages layout option is? I can choose a new document, set it up as Facing Pages, and then design in that 1-2-3 page order?
Hope this makes sense... Thanks!
