When do you anchor an illustration in InDesign?
Don’t anchor illustrations or tables until the text is complete, or very close to it. You will only drive yourself to strong language, strong drink, or both, if you anchor illustrations while the actual text is still in flux. Rather, put placeholders in the text, using a unique character pattern you can easily search for later.
How does InDesign redistribute pages between text frames?
InDesign preserves the threads between text frames. InDesign redistributes pages according to how the Allow Document Pages To Shuffle command is set. An object that spans multiple pages stays with the page on which the object’s bounding box covers the most area.
How do I create a duplicate spread in InDesign?

Select a page or spread, and then choose Duplicate Page or Duplicate Spread in the Pages panel menu. The new page or spread appears at the end of the document.
Do you add pages before or after a spread in InDesign?
Most documents use two-page spreads exclusively. When you add or remove pages before a spread, the pages shuffle by default. However, you may want to keep certain pages in a spread together. For example, you can create gatefold or accordion foldouts by creating a multiple-page spread (also called an island spread) and adding pages to it.
