48 Document handling

To copy the current page, clear any current selection by pressing Esc or by clicking on
an empty part of the page or pasteboard. The status line says "No objects selected".
Right click an empty part of a page and choose COPY PAGE (or press "Ctrl + C").

When you paste a copied page, it is added immediately following the current page. To
paste use "Ctrl + V" or right click the page and choose PASTE > PAGE from the context
menu.

Note: If the document into which you paste a page has the ALL PAGES IN DOCUMENT THE
SAME option enabled in FILE > PAGE OPTIONS, the dimensions of the pasted page will be
overridden by the page dimensions of the document. So the new page will be given the
same dimensions as all the other pages in the document.

New page from template
To insert a new page into your document using a pre-designed template, open the

DESIGNS GALLERY, drag your chosen page template thumbnail, and drop it onto
your document. The new page is added immediately following the page that you
drop on.

Automatic addition of pages
If the AUTOMATICALLY CREATE NEW PAGES option is turned on for a text area, a new page
will be added to your document automatically if you enter text into the text area so it
overflows.

Simply click on the arrow at the bottom of the text area and select AUTOMATICALLY
CREATE NEW PAGES. You can also find this option is in the Advanced text properties
dialog, which you can get to by right clicking in text and choosing ADVANCED TEXT
PROPERTIES…

With this option on you can add any amount of text to your document without ever adding
a page manually.

See Text areas (on page 222) for more detail.
Moving pages within the document

If you wish to change the order of pages in your document you can do so.

Right click a page and choose "MOVE PAGE/DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD UP" or "MOVE
PAGE/DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD DOWN".

You can also change the order of pages in the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY.

Click the PAGES button in the PAGES & LAYER GALLERY so it shows a simple list of pages.
Then you can drag and drop pages up and down in the gallery to change the page order.
