With a work around it is possible. You need two copies of the same image 8I suppose you want an image over two side by side pages).
Here is the first copy added to the left page and resized to fill also the right page. I have at the bottom of the page clicked on the zoom and selected Two up.
Then I added the secon copy on the right page and resized it to fill to the left.
How do I get the side by side pages? Haha!
Ben,
Here are ways to view facing pages:
Click View in the toolbar and choose Page Thumbnails to view facing pages in the thumbnail view.
Click the Page View control in the bottom-left corner of the window, and then choose Two Up from the pop-up menu to view facing pages side by side in the main document window.

Thanks for that. Now page 1 and 2 are facing together, and I want page 2-3 to be facing eachother. Do you know how to do this? Sorry to be a pain!
Hi Ben,
Make a mock-up with paper. Fold some sheets in half and write page numbers.
Now page 1 and 2 are facing together, and I want page 2-3 to be facing eachother.
No. In a book or magazine, page 1 is always a right hand page. Page 2 is printed on the back of page 1 and is a left hand page.
A mock-up will show. Here is a screenshot of a booklet cover. Two pages in landscape, each with text boxes on left and right. Print back-to-back. Fold in half.
And so on for inside pages.
Regards,
Ian.
Hi fruhulda,
I like your screenshot. I have much to learn! You are right. In a book or magazine, page 2 is on the left, and it faces page 3 on the right. Your layout is good when reading a book on a computer. Ben (Original Poster) asked how to print a magazine. A magazine is on real paper, printed on both sides.
I was puzzled how page 1 can face page 2 when they print back-to-back?!
I thought that Ben wanted to print double pages (two A5 text boxes on landscape A4 sheets).
I took 4 sheets of A4 paper, folded them in half to make an A5 booklet, numbered the pages and I got this:
Otside Back Cover Outside Front Cover
Inside Front Cover Inside Back Cover
Page 12 Page 1
Page 2 Page 11
Page 10 Page 3
Page 4 Page 9
Page 8 Page 5
Page 6 Page 7
If Ben wants a centrefold in a magazine using 4 folded sheets of paper (outside sheet is the cover), Pages 6 and 7 will do it.
Ben, please reply with more information. Will you fold the paper in half? Is the magazine stapled down the middle, or on the left? Take look at Peter's tips:

Thank you fruhulda!

Now that I have clicked facing pages on the inspecter pallete it seems to have worked! Thanks for your help guys!
Hi fruhulda,
Silly me. I thought the OP wanted to print on paper.
As far as I know, no post was deleted. Odd that your comment re deleted post does not appear above?
Ian.
It's showing up on mine...
I think I shall restart the computer. I have posted that I did delete the sentence but now it isn't showing. weird.
All these fixes for two-up pages appear to be from the OLD Pages. That was easy to do. The NEW Pages has no way that I can find to put two up.
That is true. Pages 5 doesn't have facing pages and not about 90 other features that Pages 09 has.
