Tip
In the New Document dialog box, the default setting of 1 in the Start Page
# box starts the document on a recto (right) page. That is, the first page of
the document is to the right of the spine. You can begin a document on a
verso page by entering an even value (for example, 2, 4, 8, and so on) in
the Start Page # box. The value you enter in this box is assigned to the first
page in the document.
Creating a new document
Each time you create a new document, the New Document dialog box lets you choose a
document preset as the starting point, or you can use this dialog box to specify several doc-
ument settings, including the number of pages, the page size, the number of columns, and
more. In this section, you'll use the Newsletter preset that you just created.
