Create a Document:This time when you create a new document, type “2” for the number of pages.
Make the starting page “2” as well.
Don’t forget to select size A4 and add a bleed of 3.

Pages:If you start on page 1, your pages will look like this:
But you want them to look like this:
Page “1” can never be part of a two-page spread -(think of the first page in a book). If you
want to work on a two-page spread, your starting page must be page 2.

Create a Document:Use the “pages” panel to manage your pages. This is the “pages” panel.
If you double click on the “A-Master” pages here, whatever changes you make to these master pages will be applied to
all of your pages.
These are your document pages. Double click on a page to edit it.
This is the new page button. Click here to add another page to your document.

Create a Document:Your 2-page spread should look like this:

Add Text From a File:Let’s add text to the document in some new ways.
Go to file and select “Place”.
Pick any document on your computer that has lots of text (an article or an essay).
![Page 8: InDesign Part 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022203/58743f0b1a28ab0e6c8b6629/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Click on your document, and the text will fill the page all the way to the margins.
Hover over one page of your document, and you will see a preview of your text appear.

Now you have a text box that automatically filled the whole page.
Drag the little white boxes on the text box, and make it smaller.

Do you see the tiny red plus sign? That means the text is too long to fit into your box.
Click the little red plus sign.
This pulls your extra text out of the box, and allows you to place it in a new box.

If your text is very long, this could go on for a while!

Click the little red plus sign again.
This time, draw a rectangle shape as you click and release the text.

This method will prevent the text from filling the entire width of the page.

Delete all of the text on your page.
Now, go to “Layout” and select “Margins and Columns.”
