I have 80 indesign files and want to put them into one publication. 3

[Terrilynn]

Can anyone help me? I have about 80 separately saved indesign files that are catalog pages. I want to open them all up in 1 publication and change some of the items and add pages. How do I go about getting these files into the publication that I have created?

You can do a "Thumbnail Drag".
Below is how to do it. From the Help menu...

To copy pages between documents
When you copy a page or spread from one document to another, all of the items on the page or spread, including master page objects, are copied to the new document.
1. Open both documents.
2. In the Pages palette, select the icon of the page or spread you want to copy.
3. Drag the icon to the other document’s window. The page or spread is added to the end of the document.
Note: If the page or spread you are copying contains paragraph or character styles, layers, or masters with the same names as their counterparts in the new document, the new document’s settings are applied to the page or spread instead.

Thank you for the quick response. I am going to try it now on some sample pages. You have made it where I actually want to go to work tomorrow.
Thank you,

Thank you,
Happy to help.

Now, from memory, the Documents may have to be the same trim size.

So keep that in mind
