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.
