Re: How to start page numbering on the left side of the spread without shifting the layout.

1. Start a new document with page 2
   
2. Select all pages in the page panel.
3. In the flyout menu of the page panel deselect allow spreads to shuffle
   
4. Klick twice on the small triangle on top of page 2
5. Change numbering to start with page 1 now.
   

That's it
