Here I have a long document open and we'll take a look at how you move through pages.
There's a number of different ways of doing it and we'll go through them all. First
of all, from the layout menu, if you go down to the one, two, third section
here, you have some options here. Some of them are dimmed out and that's because
we're on the very first page of the document. Here we'll hit next page and we
mov over one page. Layout, next page. Notice that everything is available here
now. Next page, we move to another one. This is in a spread, so it really
shifted from one page to the next. If we pull down layout and choose next
spread, like this, we move to the next page and it spreads it out. If we go and
do the same again, it just moves back to the next one. We have previous spread
here and we can go to the last page. 39 pages in this document. We can go to the
first page, like that and navigate it through this. Now, this is kind of a pain.
Every time you want to move a page, you go through this document, so I don't think
you'll use this one much, but you know where it is. However, if you want to see
what the shortcut keys are here, here they are, located here. Most of them, or
in fact, all of them, do involve the page up or page down key on your keyboard
here in combination with shift-ctrl, or obviously command and option would be
what you would see on the Mac. So that's one way. Another way is to come down to
the bottom of your window here and you can choose what page you want to move to
from here. If I hit this button here, on the left, I'll move back a page. So we
go to page 37 and notice, clicking here, we're moving back in spreads. Now,
you'll see this one with a mark, a straight line to the left of it. That will
take me to the first page in the document and, conversely, this one will take me
to the last page in the document, here. I can click on this down arrow and
simply choose the page I want to move to by clicking on it there. I can also
type it in. I'll select it and type 33, hit enter and that's where I move to
there. So that's one way of moving. Another way is simply using the scroll bar
here. You can just press and drag up like that and you move through the pages
quickly and you'll stop at the page you want to move to. That's a very easy way
of doing it. You can also do it using the hand tool. Here I'm going to use the
Shortcut key and hit the Spacebar and just press and drag, keeping it held down.
I can just move through until I get to the page I want and then, when I release,
I'm back on this tool, whatever tool it was when I had it selected. Again, move
down like that and notice that it changes. It lets me know what page I'm on at
that time. Another way of doing it is to go to the window menu and choose pages.
Here we bring up our pages palette and I'm just going to expand it here. Drag down,
press and drag down like that. There you can see thumbnails of all the windows
that we have here. Down here, you can see it. It took us a couple of seconds but
it gives a little thumbnail and when you want to move to your page, simply
double click on it like that. You move to that page. Double click, move from one
page to the other. Scroll down like that. Now, you'll notice up here there are
some master pages. You can double click and move to those. We're not really
talking about master pages now. It will come up in a forthcoming chapter and
you'll see how they work, but on the main pages, simply click from here and they
look good. To me, this is a good way to move about if you have this window open
all the time, which you would probably only do if you had a second monitor that
you were keeping palettes on. Otherwise, it's really taking up too much space.
The thumbnails can be useful, but to me, they're probably just a little bit too
small to be of any sort of practical use. So there are many ways to navigate
from one page to the other. Whichever way works for you is the best way to use.
