Chapter 31. Targeting versus Selecting Pages
InDesign makes a distinction between targeting a page or spread and selecting a page or spread. The distinction may be new to QuarkXPress users:
- A page (or spread) is targeted if it is the page onto which the next new objects will be placed, such as objects pasted into a document.
- A page (or spread) is selected if the next page actionlike duplicating the spreadwill affect that page or spread. The target page and the selected page can be different pages.
You may wonder why this distinction is useful. In XPress, the targeted page is whatever page is touching the upper-left corner of the screen. InDesign is more flexible, and if you're looking at your document at a lower magnification (a birds-eye view, showing more than one page at a time), you may still want to place an object onto a certain page or spread. By targeting a spread, you can be certain as to where objects will be placed.
