Problem with pages tool

[KTKC_CHANMAN]

On

On the pages tool, I suppose having 15 pages in horizontal view but it's only showing to 10 pages and the rest are gone. Please advise me how to fix this?

You can only have a maximum of 10 pages in a spread in InDesign.

I think you should start again. For most publications, you either have single pages (Facing Pages turned off), or pairs of pages like in a magazine or book (Facing Pages turned ON). Set this in the New Document dialog. You can also select how many pages you want to start with.

To add more pages, choose the Pages panel (Window > Pages) and choose Insert Pages from the menu at the upper right (called the Panel Menu, looks like a hamburger).

The Page tool is mainly used to change the dimensions of individual pages.

I am not talking about adding pages. I am asking how to fix the page panel view with the circles above. I suppose having 15 pages and the panel only showing 10 which it suppose to show the rest in the next row. How to fix this?

You could put the panel display back to Vertical, but we've seen them drop off in that view as well. This is a situation where you want to delete your preferences. Save and close your file, then follow the instructions in this post. Note that two techniques are covered, if the first one doesn't work (the keyboard shortcut), try the second one (delete the InDesign SavedData and InDesign Defaults files).

Come back and let us know if that takes care of the issue.

Hi,

What happens if you drag your pages panel to the left making it wider? Do the remaining 5 pages show up?

They should appear underneath, or show the scroll bar. I'm putting my bet on corrupt preferences.

(Oh, speaking of betting, Aman, are you going to MAX? Would love to meet you in person.)

Hi,

Well we both have been seeing this issue happen a lot. Unfortunately, i have not seen it happen on my machine and dont even have any steps that can help me to reproduce the issue.

Not this time to the MAX. I hope it is great for you specially with the exciting features we have lined up for the CC 2018
