Pages Panel

I am learning InDesign CS4. Why don't the documents in my Book Panel show up in my Pages Panel. I am trying to create a book and need to several create chapters. All the tutorials I watch show how to do it in the Pages Panel, so I am a little lost!
Thanks for your help!

  • Page numbers in page panel don't match current page numbers

    Hi all,
    I have been working with InDesign for a decade now and never had this problem.
    I created a document in InDesign CS 5.5, very simple and with consecutive pages, no sections etc.
    My page numbers show up correctly on my spreads. BUT, for some reason, the numbers that are shown in the page panel, underneath the page icons, are different. The first page is named "11", followed by 12-17, then the numbers jump to 111, 112 etc. I selected all pages and chose "Numbering and Section Options", setting them all to automatic page numbering, but to no avail.
    As I said, the actual page number on the page is unaffected. But this bugs me since I am afraid that the document is somehow messed up.
    I am using a simple InDesign document, no book file.
    Any idea why this would happen?
    Thank you so much!

    Thank you - I just found the solution to my problem (after playing around some more), and it turns out to be rather simple. In Numbering & Section Options, the Section Prefix was set to "1" - this field needs to be clear. That's why InDesign would add a 1 to every number.

  • Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

    Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP.  My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves).  The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later.  If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great.  Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

    Not that I know of.

  • Can you make each page show a different name in the pages panel?

    I would like to be able to name each page with a different name so they display in the pages panel (under the page icon) with a different name for each page rather than just 1, 2, 3 etc. eg. page one called 'Matt', page 2 called 'Satin', page 3 'Gloss. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Yes, but it might not work the way you fully intend.
    On each page in the "pages" panel, right click and choose 'Numbering & Section Options'.
    From the popup, select 'Start Page Numbering At' and add the page number. Eg, Page 1 would be 1, Page 2 would be 2 etc (you need to do this for each page)If you don't want numbers, you can select from their 'Style' dropdown but you must select something
    In the 'Section Prefix' box, enter the text you would like displayed - Matt, Satin, Gloss etc
    If you want these names to show up in the document as a page number, select 'Include prefix when numbering pages'
    The result of this is that each page is now it's own section of the document.

  • Page Thumbnails not displaying in Pages Panel

    Hi all,
    Hopefully a quick question...I've searched through the Forum and not spotted a similar issue.
    I have a user who is experiencing an unusual issue in InDesign CS6 - Page Thumbnails aren't displaying in the Pages Panel (such that the panel is completely blank - no new page icon etc.), and Swatches aren't displaying in the Swatches Panel (default swatches or new swatches - the panel is completely blank).  I've checked all of the Panel Display options, and have toggled the thumbnail display size up/down, and on/off to no avail.  This problem is also non-document specific, it's happening on all documents either previously saved or freshly created.  I've also tried multiple workspaces and that hasn't helped.
    I've also tried binning the preferences  and this hasn't helped...   
    Any thoughts where to start?  My hunch is possibly plugins not working/missing, but I'm not sure what/where to check.
    Any help would be very much appreciated...

    I hate to have to bump an old topic, but replacing my prefs doesn't work either. Tried restarting the computer too. Nothing really works and I hate to have to waste time reinstalling when I doubt that would help at this point. (hates windows).

  • No option to Load Master Pages on Pages Panel (Windows)

    Hi there.... I'm a longtime user in the Mac platform, but am now doing some smaller projects in a Windows platform. The Load Master Pages is not even listed among the choices when I view the Pages panel using CS6. What doi need to toggle on/off and where is it in order to get this option in the menu list please? Thanks for your help as I'm really at a loss here.

  • InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

    Hello,
    I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
    I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
    Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

  • Can someone help me retrieve my pages panel?

    My Pages panel has disappeared. It isn't an option to view it at all. I tried  trashing the pages panel plugin and replacing it, trashing indesign preferences and restarting (pressing shift/control/option/command while starting indesign) and disabling/enabling the pages panel hyperlink in extensions manager. None of this has worked. Can someone help me? Very frustrated.

    Yes, uninstall InDesign, but try the other stuff first. See CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 for info on the clearer tool.

  • Acrobat Standard - Pages Panel

    I am using
    - Windows 7 Pro
    - Acrobat 9 Standard
    I have a lot of new PDF files every day which I need to set - Document Properties - Navigation Tab as "Pages Panel and Page" -
    so the acrobat file appears with Pages Panel at Left on open.
    I know Acrobat 9 Standard settings for the above must be done individually one by one.
    1. Does Acrobat 9 Professional has the option to automatically set "Pages Panel and Page" setting for all PDF files instead of individually.
    2. Can I just get the Acrobat 9 Professional UPDGRADE version as I am now using licensed Acrobat 9 Standard ?
    Thank you.

    Yes, you can set this up with a batch process in Acrobat Pro, but not with Standard. Adobe doesn't sell Acrobat 9 any longer, but you could upgrade to Acrobat 10 Pro.

  • Page number prefixes in pages panel?

    Is it possible to add a prefix to the page that appears in the pages panel (and not just on the page itself)? For example, in quark I can add 'C' before the first page so that the page layout panel shows the first page as C1 for cover 1. I can't find anything that seems to do this, but I'm probably missing something. CS3 if it matters. Thanks for any help.

    If you use Different Master Pages.
    You can then right click the master page in the pages panel and change the Prefix to whatever you want.
    It appears at the top of the page in the pages panel, not at the bottom in page number.
    I usually prefix my table of contents master pages with TOC, which appears at the top of the page and is a great visual reference to what page I'm clicking on.

  • Thumbnails disappeared in Pages panel in InDesign CS4

    The thumbnails that show the page spreads and the master pages have disappeared in the Pages panel of ID CS4 (on Windows XP SP3). I can't figure out (a) what caused them to disappear or, more importantly, (b) how to get them back. In the Panel Options, I have Show Thumbnails checked for both Pages and Masters, and all 3 of the Icons options checked. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be appreciated.

    In followup, I tried to reinstalling ID4 -- a painful process. That didn't solve the problem. So I tried unchecking display thumbnails vertically. That worked in that the thumbnails for both masters and pages displayed correctly horizontally. I then rechecked display vertically and they disappeared again.

  • Can "Document Properties" be set to "Pages panel and..." by default?

    I would like to have Acrobat Pro 8.1.5 creat ALL new documents with "pages panel and pages" as default so I don't have to waste time setting properties for each new document.
    Is there a way to set that value as a default?
    Thanks,

  • Pages panel in ver 8 missing

    Suddenly my papes panel is missing. Tabs and all.
    Win xp pro system. Acrobat ver 8.2.1
    I don't find any reference in the tools bars for making the pages panel display or reappear. I looked in preferences and don't find a swithc or option for display....unless I'm missing something.
    I went through the repair install routine offered under help menu. No change. My pages panel is gone.
    Can someone offer a course of action?

    If there is no navigation panel being shown of the left hand side of the Acrobat window, You many need to View> Navigation Panels>Show Navigation Pane.
    Then you can right click in the pane and select what you want to show.

  • Create PDF Directly from Pages Panel

    Hi, everybody,
    Can anyone help me locating a free script that allows to create single pdf pages (or range of selected pages) using the page thumbnails in the Pages Panel and choosing the function with the right button of the mouse.
    I know it exists and its a free script. I have worked with it In IDCS5 but I have lost its trail on a computer that have crashed and I cannot find it anymore using Google.
    Greetins and thank you in advance,

  • Indesign CS6 Pages Panel Reversed Numbering

    A customer has given us a document and the pages in the pages panel are inverted, they built the internal document in correct page order 1-12 but the Pages Panel reads 1,3-2,5-4,7-6,etc. I can't figure out how they did this. When exporting a PDF it follows the pages panel for sequence which is incorrect. Even if i re-arange the pages panel (which throws the document out of order) it still reads reads 1,3-2,5-4,7-6,etc. How can I correct this. I have attched a screnn shot of the Pages Panel.

    Interesting, because they built there content to read left to right or Left Binding. Is there a way to fix it other than me exporting the pages 1,3,2,5,4,7,6. I should be able to export 1-12 like the content is built but then it is out of order for pagination.
