Bleed: Everything that goes to the edge of the page should extend beyond it, so when trimmed it will account for errors. You should print on paper larger than what you are producing. Standard bleed: 3mm. Slug area is used for printing marks, but you can do that stuff when you print. Handy for fold marks if needed!Spreads appear on screen as reader's spreads and In Design will do the pagination fun for you.
It's best to make your document less than an A-size so it can be printed on A-size up with full bleed.
File > Document Setup will bring you back to the setup menu if you decide on a change of layout (except margins and columns- to do that you have to select the pages on the pages palette, go to layout > margins and columns but you can only do this to one page at a time UNLESS using the A-master)
No left or right margins, 'inside' and 'outside' margins instead. It can sometimes be useful to have a wider insider margin than outside. The binding can sometimes hide parts of the pages.
If you want rows go to layout > create guides
A-MASTER: MASTER PAGE! document template. find in the pages palette. These objects will be locked BUT you can access them by using command>shift>click on the item.
Page numbers: type > insert special characters > markers > page numbers

| mmmm graphic design CONCERTINAS |
The recommended way to make a concertina is to stick pages on the back of pages to bind it together (the above and the below)
Divide each page into two columns with no gutter as a way of seeing where the image goes. Put some slug on for folds. No facing pages! When the document is open, grab the ruler to the left and drag out a ruler marker- drag it to where you will be folding and it will leave a mark on the slug (release the mouse off the page)

On the pages palette untick allow document pages to shuffle
Drag the thumbnails next to each other
