Work with different page sizes in one document

You no longer need to create multiple documents for one project when working with different page sizes in InDesign. In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to set up a selection of different-sized stationery templates in one document. Multi-page documents can really help streamline your workflow with the use of style sheets, which enable changes to be made quickly across all pages, and help maintain consistency throughout. I’ll also show you how to set up paragraph styles and create nonprinting layers.

The first step for any project is to begin sketching out your ideas, roughly planning the structure of your stationery elements and collating all the copy you need for the documents. Remember to take the time to plan and set up documents correctly at the beginning – it’ll save time later.
