iWork Pages - Show two pages side by side?

OCOTILLO · May 19, 2005, 11:25 AM

I know that you can show facing pages using View>inspector>documents. But, this does not place the pages side by side, Is there any way that say page 1 and page 2 can be shown and worked on side by side so you do not have to scroll up and down to view them?

well, this reply is, oh, say, 3 years late... but anyway

I found this post while looking for the solution to this question, then found the answer.

You need to go to the bottom left corner and click the magnification % and check "One Up"

hehe i don't think i should be reviving this topic, but oh well...

thank you so much for the info!!

Absolutely perfect! Was driving me nuts! Thanks!

davidjoho · Dec 31, 2009, 03:23 PM

Very helpful, especially since the zoom menu in the bottom right is different from the View > Zoom menu. I didn't occcur to me that the 2-up choice might be on the bottom menu but not the top one.

So, thanks!

Thank you for going against what you thought!

I'm a song writer, and need to keep up to five other audio applications running while reading my lyrics. One up on wide screens doesn't show enough of the song. I really need badly to be able to see the whole song so I don't have to scroll. This keeps my hands free to play and manipulate external audio interfaces.

By all means, if anyone else finds this, bump it up with a hearty "Thank you very much!" I'm sure there are a lot of others out there who don't realize this feature is in the program.

Thanks very much once again! This thread, more than 5 years old now, was the first link google offered when I asked it iwork pages side by side. So sweet!

FWIW, I wound up in the "two up" view when I inadvertently checked, and then unchecked, the "Facing Pages" option in the Document Inspector. Went a little batty for about 10 mins trying to find the option to undo the two-up view before coming across this thread.

Kudos!

Hi i want to know how you can center the page so that instead of there being grey space on the right, they will be on the left and right

Jarra · Sep 15, 2012, 05:49 PM

Thanks for that. It was driving me crazy.
