Target That Page

If you drag the vertical scroll bar halfway down, you'll end
up about halfway through your long InDesign document.
But if you follow that by pressing Shift-Page Down (to jump
to the next page), you may end up on a very unexpected
page. Why? Because this keyboard shortcut takes you to the
next page after the currently-targeted page in the Pages
palette, not the one you're actually looking at. So after
dragging the scroll bar, click once anywhere on the page or
pasteboard. That targets this spread. Now the shortcut will
work as expected. --David Blatner

Go and Fit in Window

You know you can jump to a particular page by double-clicking
on it in the Pages palette. But did you know that you can hold
down the Option/Alt key while double-clicking to jump to that
page and switch to Fit Page in Window at the same time?

Duplicating a Page

Need to make a slight variation on a layout but keep the
original? You can duplicate a page in your document by
holding down the Option/Alt key while dragging it in the
Pages palette. --David Blatner
