Yep, i'm still not totaly used to ID's way of working :) I ran into this strange thing lately, here is what happend: I created a page, addes some objects like frames and stuff. I created a second page, again added some frames and texts... But now, i added this third page to my document.. I created a reference to that third page with: REM myDoc is a valid document, myPage is declared as Indesign.Page MyPage = myDoc.Pages.Item(3) When i added a textframe on that third page it appeared on the second page! So, to keep it short: i could not place anythin on my third page. This all happend with facing pages turned ON. When i turned them off, everything went well... So now i'm confused about what exactly is called a page and what a spread and how they behave. It seems that tow pages act as ONE when facing pages is turned on? then my next question raises: If i create a document with facing pages turned on, what will be the difference between that one and that same document created while facing pages was turned off... I mean, will facing pages effect the printing of your document? That's all for now, Thanks! :-) Eelko ps. my college who helps me out with these kind of things is hanging on a hot and sunny beach these days.. so i'm sorry for this very newbe question :o)
