Contents Page and Exporting from InDesign

I had a lesson today, so have been working on my contents page and finishing off the final touches.

I changed the size of the pictures for other articles (not for my cover story) so that they are clearer. I was also concerned with the fact that there seemed to be a lot of gaps on the contents page, and so made them bigger to fill these gaps in more.

I also moved the Regulars title for this reason; there was a big gap to the right of this title, so I moved it to fill this gap.

Another thing that I had been concerned with about all of my InDesign documents was that they were on spreads over two A4 pages, not just A3 page that was cut in half. Therefore, whenever I exported it to JPEG, the two pages were exported separately, which meant that I would have to stick them together after exporting them.

However, after looking on the Adobe discussion boards and asking my teacher, I found out how to export a double page spread (DPS) as a single JPEG from InDesign:
  • When exporting, select the Range option
  • Then select the spread option
Selecting these two buttons means that the DPS is exported as a single JPEG and not separately.
