Rotating spreads
In some cases, you may want to rotate a page or spread to make it easier to view
and work on its content. For example, a standard-sized magazine with portraitori-
ented pages might require a calendar page with a landscape orientation. You could
lay out such a page by rotating all objects 90 degrees, but then you would have to
turn your head or rotate your monitor to modify the layout and edit text. To make
editing easier, you can rotate—and unrotate—spreads. For an example of this fea-
ture, open the 03_End.indd document in the Lesson_03 folder (if it's not already
open).
1.
In the Pages panel, double-click page 4 to display it in the document window.
2.
Choose View > Fit Page In Window to center the page within the document
window.
3.
Choose View > Rotate Spread > 90° CW, and then choose View > Fit Page In
Window.
After you rotate the spread (right), it's easier to work with the objects on the page.
4.
Choose View > Rotate Spread > Clear Rotation.
5.
Close the document without saving changes.
