go to File
and create "book" or something
that will merge two documents

I don't have InDesign with me right now
so i can't tell you exactly

or.. you can creat PDFs from two different files
and merge them together in acrobat

hmm... I know how to merge PDFs, but I really would like to merge the actual idd files, effectively bringing in spreads from one file into another. There's no "book" option in any menu or submenu in "File" for CS2. The help files reference a "Book Palette" but I can't find it.

1. Open both files
2. Open up the pages tab (you can do this under the window menu if it's not open already)
3. Drag a page from the pages tab into the grey space between pages in the other file.

Hope that helps. There's probably more ways to do it too.

book is under file -> new -> book

I've never used that though

Thanks.. I've been trying to drag between the pages tab, as Jank suggested, but the two tabs always appear in exactly the same place, even if the two files are tiled.. the problem applies even if I detach the tab and move it to another location (it simply copies the move in the other file.. same problem.. so that I physically can't figure out how to do the drag and drop. I'm using CS2 in Windows.

I'll try the book method. Sorry to ask such stupid questions.. I'm an indesign noob... :)

Right, only the active file has visible tabs.

You can't drag into the tab, you have to drag into the actual workspace. In the grey area between the pages.

Thanks!
