+=====Master Document=====
+To add page numbers to your inDesign document you'll need to work with the '''Master Document''' located in the Pages palette. Master Pages work like templates for your document. Any text, objects, or graphics you place on the Master Page will appear on all your pages—for example, Headers and Footers.

+====Creating a Booklet====
-# Launch InDesign and create a new .indd document following the steps outlined in "[[Booklet Document Setup - InDesign| Setting up your document in InDesign create a booklet]]".
+InDesign supports '''creating printer spreads''' for printing booklets. A printer spread refers to two or more pages that fall next to each other on a sheet of paper. For example, if you’re editing an 8-page booklet, the pages appear in sequential order in the layout window. However, in printer spreads, page 2 can be positioned next to page 7, so that when the two pages are printed on the same sheet, 3 folded, and collated, the pages end up in the appropriate order.
