Merging pages from one doc to another

[avantgarde124]

My colleague and I are switching from QuarkXPress to InDesign for the production of our magazine. Is there a way to take pages out of one document and insert them in a particular place in another? For instance, because there are two of us working in seperate areas of the same document, we have two copies of the same document. This document has around 90 pages. Say I am working on pages 3 through 20 in the copy of the file, and want to take them and override pages 3-20 in the original file. Everytime I try to pull the page thumbnails over, it always throws them at the end of the document. Needless to say, this is not exactly helpful. I know in Quark, you can go to View-Thumbnails, delete the old pages and drag whichever pages you want over, and it goes to exactly the right pages. Thanks in advance, any help would be great!

Unless thy've added that in CS2 (I'm on 1) or there's a script/plugin available, the short answer is no. If you bought Creative Suite, see if you got Version Cue. If so try it, as it's for multiple people working on the same doc.

Other than that, add the pages to the end, select them in the pages window and slide them into postion.

Hopefully it will be added in next version.

Hmmm...that stinks. Well, thank you, now I can stop the insistent searching, bearing no results... I hope they come out with it (I am using CS2)soon, it is a very valuable tool.
