InDesign Tips: Viewing a 2 page document in a facing spread

Step 1:  Open the Pages panel in InDesign so you can view the entire document spread. 

Step 2: Select the options drop down located in the upper right of the pages panel.

Step 3: Uncheck both options “Allow Document Pages to Shuffle” and “Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle”

Step 4: Click on the thumbnail for page 2 and drag it up to the left or right (whichever side you want to view it on) of page 1 until you see a black bar appear.  Drop the page and the pages will then be viewed side by side.
