This procedure has two parts.

Part 1: apply a double or full-spread master to a page

Apply a double or full-spread master to the even page you want to convert to a spread. This will add an empty right-side page on the original even page, and it's page number will appear in the form left-right. For example, if you applied a double or full-spread master on the page 2, its page number will appear as 2-3.

Part 2: move the content from the next odd page to the spread

1.Open the odd page that has to become part of the spread. For example, if you applied the double or full-spread master to the page 2, the next odd page is the page 3.

2.Select all page content, cut it to the clipboard and then save the page.

3.Click the spread page, and then paste the content. Note: the content is pasted over the left side of the spread, overlapping any existing content, but it remain selected after paste.

4.Press the right-arrow as many times as needed to move the pasted content to the right side of the spread. If it doesn't appear precisely aligned to the left edge of the right-side of the double page, drag it to align it.

5.Save the spread.

Note: the odd single page remains in the edition, but it is empty.
