A letterhead is a single page, usually printed on only one side. Th is
project needs only a single layout page in the InDesign fi le.

9. Leave the Start Page # fi eld set to 1.
Th is option is useful when you work with multi-page fi les. Odd-numbered pages
always appear on the right, as you see in any book or magazine; you can defi ne an
even-numbered starting page to force the fi rst page of a layout to the left.

10. Uncheck the Facing Pages check box.

Facing pages are used when a printed job will be read left to right like a book, with
Page 1 starting on the right, then Page 2 facing Page 3, and so on. Facing-page layouts
are based on spreads, which are pairs of left-right pages as you fl ip through a book
(e.g., Page 6 facing Page 7). (You work extensively with facing pages starting in Project
4: Museum Exhibits Booklet.)

11. Leave the Primary Text Frame option unchecked.
When this option is checked, InDesign creates a text frame that automatically fi lls the
area created by the defi ned page margins. A letterhead design primarily focuses on the
area outside the margins, so you don’t need to add a primary text frame to this fi le.
