Accordion layout?

[tinroots@adobeforums.com]

Is there not a way to set up several pages next to each other (similar to spreads but 10 instead of 2) in order to make an accordion style book? It seems like something that would be an option... but I can't figure it out. I'm using InDesign CS2 4.0.3.6... Thanks

In the pages palette flyout menu, disable allow pages to shuffle and
then drag the page icons to create a spread of up to 10 pages.

How can I set up the print dialog to print the way it looks of the pages palette?

If I understand the question correctly, choose an appropriate paper size and orientation, and then select "Spreads" from the "General" panel.

That will only allow me to print a 2pg spread and not the entire 10pgs.

Export a PDF as spreads. I know that works for more than two pages since
I just did it with a three page spread.

That worked, thanks!

Kathychan, selecting spread under the printer settings will print all pages that are together in a spread, no matter how many you have, of course if they are longer than you actual paper you will only get what vcan fit on the actual paper size, if you want all your spread on the page select fit to page as well.
Make sure that all your pages are together, in your page palette. On the page palette select all the pages you want together, then from the fly out menu select Keep Spreads Together

Yes, as Marco says.

I often print 3 page spreads.

I just tested printing a three-page spread (3" x 3" pages) onto a letter-size page. Strangely, the Print dialog box preview only shows two pages, but it prints fine.
