: Is it possible to create half page masters in InDesign? I am creating an attendee guide for a meeting. Each page has a company description on the top half and a second company at the bottom

@Cooney243

Very easy to achieve by using "Rotate the spread view" feature.
Apply rotation to master pages and to all pages.

Go Page panel menu > Page attributes > Rotate Spread view > 90° CW, 90° CCW, 180°, or cancel. (I believe this can vary depending on your INDD version).

2 ways to deal with this, neither ideal:


Create a master page with 2 companies. You have to update everything twice if you change the master, but twice is better than for every company.
Create a separate document at half page size with the companies. When you've got them in, export that to a pdf and place that pdf into your full page indesign document. You can go back to the half page document and overwrite the pdf with any changes.
