Binding Spine in InDesign

This is how I have made this spread.

1. I have opened a new document with the Facing Pages option checked. Page 1 was already there.

2. I then dragged the 2 pages that you see just under page 1 in the Page palette. At this point the spine was in the middle of the two pages.

3. I selected the two page spread and then I went to the Page palette menu and I have activated the Keep Spread Together option.

4. I then added the third page to the two pages spread to make it a three pages spread, to obtain what you see. You can add pages anywhere on the left or on the right of the original two pages spread. You can have a maximum of 10 pages in 1 spread.
