![]() Or perhaps you are using a plug-in that makes a Catalog panel. Now, Jessica, here’s the part of your question that I don’t understand: The Catalog panel? InDesign doesn’t have a Catalog panel. If I choose something from the Pages panel menu (like Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle) or from the Layout menu (such as Margins & Columns), it will affect pages 2 and 3 because that’s what is selected. With other designs, where left and right pages are different, this can be a nightmare. With some designs, this shuffling will not cause any issues. If I use Edit > Paste right now, the object will be pasted on to page 4 or 5, because that’s what’s targeted. If you add a single page anyplace in a document, InDesign will 'shuffle' the content of all pages forward by one page. However, pages 2/3 are selected because I clicked once on them and so the icons are highlighted. I know that because those page numbers are highlighted (in black). In this case, I am viewing pages 4 and 5. (Same difference when clicking on a page icon, except that it selects vs. Click once on the number under a spread to select the whole spread, click twice on the numbers to select the spread, target the spread, and view the spread. This is another one of the mysteries of the Pages panel. ![]() ![]() Note that when I say “I selected them,” I mean that I clicked once on them. You can turn off this feature the same way. How did they get that way? I selected them and chose Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle from the Pages panel menu. The second spread (pages 2 and 3) are an island spread. An island spread also allows you to add pages to it to make 3- or more-page spreads ( see this post for more on that). These brackets indicate that a spread is an “island” that will not shuffle if the other pages before it get moved. I don’t recall ever seeing parentheses around the page numbers, but I have seen square brackets. The Pages panel is chock full o’ mysteries, not the least of which is how it displays page numbers and such. If I open certain chapters, there are brackets/parenthesis around some of the page numbers in the Pages panel. I have multiple chapters to a book I am creating linked in the “Catalog” panel.
