Command-Option-0 (Zero, not o)

I intermittently run into a problem keeping both sides of a spread visible (centered in my window) as I page through a long document using either the pages panel or the keyboard shortcuts. InDesign CS4 wants to center the left-hand page of a spread in my window even when I click the page numbers under the icons in the pages panel or when I use page up and page down commands. I would like to see both pages simultaneously (the file is a novel so I really don't want to keep centering the spreads manually) and there is room for me to see both pages—but my right hand page is stuck under my panels every time I move to a new spread.

When I am using floating panels I can make the window extra large and move enough of the window to the left to “fix” this problem, but when I am using the “application frame” setting I can't move the window to the left. I know there is a fix for this because I've done it before. Unfortunately every time this issue happens I seem to forget what I did to correct it the last time and it drives me absolutely crazy!

If you can help me with this problem I promise I will put a sticky note on my iMac.

Command-option-0 centers the spread and then paging through the document works fine!

I remembered!
