About assigning specific positions to pages

You can manually specify the positions to which the selected pages will be assigned by using the Range box in the Assign Page to Page Set Position Dialog Box. This is useful when you want to assign a single page to multiple positions or assign pages to nonconsecutive page positions.

A range can be composed of a single position or a list of positions.

• If the range is a list of positions, a selected page is assigned to all of the positions in the list. Individual assignment positions are separated by commas or hyphens. A range of positions can be written as two positions separated by a hyphen and enclosed in parentheses. A multiple assignment for one selected page can be written as positions separated by commas.
• If more than one page is selected any multiple assignments or ranges must be enclosed in parentheses.

Here are some guidelines for entering positions.
These examples assume that the pages listed in the Page column are: pages A, B, C, and D.
You can assign each page to a single page position or to multiple page positions. To assign a page to a single page position, type the number of the page position. For example, type 1 to assign Page A to page position 1.

Use commas to separate the range of page positions to which each page will be assigned. For example, type 1,2,3,4 to assign Page A to page position 1, Page B to page position 2, and so on.

To assign a single page to multiple page positions, enclose the list of page positions in parentheses.
To assign a single page to consecutive page positions, use a hyphen to indicate the first and last page positions. For example, type (1-2) to assign Page A to page positions 1 and 2.

To assign a single page to nonconsecutive page positions, use commas to separate the page positions. For example, type (1,3) to assign Page A to page positions 1 and 3.

To assign multiple pages to a consecutive range of page positions you do not need to use parentheses. For example, type 1-4 to assign Page A to page position 1, Page B to page position 2, and so on.

To enter a range of page positions for each of the selected pages, enclose each range in parentheses and separate with commas. For example, type 1, (2-4), (5,7), 8 for the following results:

To assign a single page to multiple page positions, both consecutive and nonconsecutive, enclose the whole list of page positions in parentheses. For example, type (1,3-5,7) to assign Page A to page positions 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7.
