1. Hide/Filter pages in pages panel AND navigation

   I got myself in a workflow where I would have a document having sections organised like that : title page / content page / title page / content page…
   I have to go back and forth between the content pages, and sometimes between the title pages.
   That helps to compare what has changed and what’s consistent between the pages.
   So I try to not distract my eye by either going to the pages panel or by ctrl-page up with the « title pages » interruption (think about the (now long gone) photoshop cmd-Z to undo/redo and spot differences.

   If Title pages are T1 T2 T3 and Content pages are C1 C2 C3, they’d be « distributed » in the document as : T1 C1 T2 C2 T3 C3…
   I could assign labels to the master pages and would filter the visible pages « all red pages » then my navigation would jump only to the « visible » pages in the panel. They could be either really hidden, or may be grayed out.

   Don’t forget an indicator in the pages panel that some pages are missing.

   On some documents, it could be used as a « progress » indicator : the fewer pages in your pages panel -> the closest the end of the work/day.

2. merging cells in a table

   I am trying to create a 9x12 horizontal postcard with 4 vertical columns and 5 horizontal rows. Then I merge cells to create different size ad boxes. By the time I get to the last merge, it pulls everything up and looks like it is adding another row at the bottom. For example: merge the whole bottom row into one ad box; merge the right column 4 boxes into one ad box; merge the left 3 boxes beginning from the top into one ad box; merge the center 6 boxes into one large ad box. So, there should be a total of 7 ad boxes. InDesign is making it into 8 ad boxes with the additional one at the bottom. How do I avoid this? I have tried it with a different merge pattern and it continues to do the same thing.

   Thanks for reporting this issue.
   How do applications like MS Word or Apple Pages behave in the same scenario?
