(But that's fine, I don't have to navigate to THEM. Unfortunately pages 32-33 in the InDesign manual shed no additional light. And if I use the page-up and page-down keys, or click in the scroll bar, inDesign fails to center the spread vertically. They always center either a right or left page. But these options never center a two page spread. There are several ways to add a new page to your InDesign document, but the quickest way is simply to hit Command + Shift + P. And I’ve exhausted every navigational option in the Layout menu. I’ve used the next-page and previous-page buttons at the lower right corner of the window - and the adjacent “page number” menu. I’ve got document magnification set so I can see my entire two page spread, so that’s not the problem.

There must be a keystroke that allows the user to step from 2-3 to 4-5, or from 4-5 to 6-7, back down to 4-5, etc., while centering the spread on the screen. Once a spread has been selected in the Pages palette I thought perhaps an up-arrow or down-arrow would navigate through adjacent spreads - but no, that adjusts the kerning! Of course!!! and I want to keep my eyes on my layout, not my navigational tool!

Plus you have to scroll through the Pages palette to find the spread you want. Select the entire shortcuts list (Ctrl/Cmd + A) and copy (Ctrl/Cmd + C). I’ve only found one way to automatically center a two-page spread: click on the page numbers (2-3, 4-5, 6-7, etc.) in the Pages palette.
