In your case of 4 pages, that is simply 4&1 and 2&3. If they insist on you imposing the document into a printer’s spread (with page n&1 on one side, 2&n-1 on the back side, also known as page 2 of your printer’s spread, and so on until you have page n/2&n/2+1 as the last spread), you can either lay it out like that or use the export booklet feature (or some post-processing imposition solution – I like Rhimposition script for InDesign).

Apply a different size Master Page to a regular page. There are several “preset” sizes to choose from, and you can add your own presets to this list.Ģ. Once you have the pages selected in the Pages panel, you can chose a new page size from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the Pages panel. You do not have to switch to the Page Tool first.

When you turn on Master Page Overlay, a purple border indicates the dimensions of the current master page as they are applied to the page. Objects Move with Page makes page objects move with the page if you adjust its position.(3) Finally, you can actually change the position of the master page applied to a page (see below).
