Why is the master page default for 2...

New to ID; Why are the master pages paired? I made several Master pages that consist of one page and they worked fine, so I'm wondering what I'm missing; no doubt there is a reason that the default is for a pair of master pages. So, what;s the reason?

Master pages are paired into spreads when you have ''facing pages'' checked off in your document setup dialog. This allows for having different information, like mirrored positioning for page numbers, or different running headers, on opposite sides of the spread.



If you only make single page documents or docs that are printed on only one side you might want to uncheck that box.

If you've already created a document with facing pages, you can separate them by choosing File %26gt; Document Setup and unchecking the ''Facing Pages'' option that Peter referred to.

There is some danger in converting facing pages to non-facing if you've used master items that differ on the two sides of a spread. Non-facing pages only use the left side master of a two-page master spread, and converting from facing to non-facing doesn't affect the number of pages in an existing master.
