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)
