    Convert InDesign CS5 multiple single page to bound brochure ?

      Hi

       

      My client has changed their minds once again.  Originally they wanted me to produce single inserts (22) for their Fireplace Presentation binder and this is what I've done.  On Saturday I met with the owner and marketing manager and now they want the single inserts bound into a brochure 8.5 x 8.5". Thankfully I'm being paid for all the changes.

       

      I'm looking for some direction on how to get the next component of the project started.  I have the content, all in 8.5" X 11" produced using a template I created ID CS5 and I'm hoping I can convert these to the new size.  I'm sure once I get into this things will become clearer, but I'm really looking for suggestions on how to convert the pages and get this project started.

       

      Thanks..

          One option is to simply place the existing pages into a new document of the correct size, but after scaling there's going to be a lot of odd-looking white space due to the difference in aspect ratios, so if it were my project I'd create a new doc of the correct size, then copy/paste the elements from the exisiting pages and work on ways to re-arrange and resize elements to make it look good.
