Inserting blank pages into an existing document

I'm new to Pages. I'm creating my first document, which involves text and photos. It's presently a 5 page document. I'd like to insert two new blank pages right after existing page 3 (for items that I don't have yet but will in the next day or so), but I can't figure out how to do that without messing up what I've done. "Insert page break" isn't showing up as an option when I put the cursor at the end of page 3 (which is on a photograph, immediately following a caption that's typed on the photograph). Also, I don't have any section breaks in the document.
Any ideas? It seems like this should be something straightforward. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

chris,
Click on View > Show Invisibles. You should see a paragraph marker at the end of page 3. Put your cursor right before that, then you should be able to click on Insert > Page Break. Do it twice and you should have two blank pages.

Inserting blank page into template

I am working in a template. I would like to insert a blank page into the middle of it and create my own thing and then continue with more pages from the template. How do I insert a blank page.

micheley,
I think the easiest and cleanest way is like this: click on View > Show Invisibles so that you can see all the hidden characters, then put your cursor in front of the last paragraph marker on the previous page. Click on Insert > Page Break. That will add a new, blank page inside your document.

How to insert blank page into pages document when using word processing mode?

I've recently created a 50+ page document using Pages '09. I started the document using word processing mode. Now, when I view in thumbnail mode and try to insert a blank page somehwere in the middle of the document, it won't allow me to select where I want. It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section. I believe this is because I am in word processing mode. My question is, can I convert the document to layout mode so that each page represents it's own section, without losing what work I've already done? And if so, how?
The document is entirely text boxes and images, so I don't have any need for word processing space. I just need new pages to act as blank templates for the text boxes and images I create.
Is it possible to keep all my work as is, and convert the document to layout mode vs. word processing mode?
Thanks!

It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section.
That's because they are one section. You must insert section breaks to separate them. There is no need to use page layout which does make each page a separate section. You have to manually add each page & use text boxes or other containers for the text & link the text boxes.

Insert blank page into report after odd page

I'm trying to get my report to insert a blank page at the end of each invoice if the invoice is an odd number of pages. We're looking to start printing two-sided invoices and need each invoice to be able to be mailed to the customer. I already have New Page after on the report footer and that works, but if I have a 3 page invoice, I need it to have a blank page as page 4 (without a page number). Page numbers are also being reset for each invoice if that matters. This is using Crystal Reports 10.

Hi
You can try the below:
- Open section expert.
- Select the section after which you need a new page.
- Click on Paging Tab.
- Put the below formula in X-2 for New page after:
PageNumber mod 2 =0;
- Save and close the formula editor.
- Click on Ok.
You can also apply some suppresion condition as per requirement.
Hope this helps!!

How do I insert new pages into an existing pages document

I have been doing a newsletter for 18 months in pages. SInce the last update I have been unable to find a way to add a page to my document or change positions of pages. I have searched online for answers which did not help, and all the tutorials I found are not for the updates version. Help, this app is useless if I can't do this!

How could you not find the hundreds, if not thousands, of references here to the missing features in Pages 5?
Apple removed over 100 features from Pages 5 of which these are only a few:

You should still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Use that.

Inserting a page to an existing document

I just want to add a new page which has artwork pasted to it to an existing multi-page document of text. The text is a book, and I want to put a cover at the beginning so Kindle will display it when I publish it. Of course I have to convert the whole file to Word before uploading to Kindle, but I can't find how to do something this simple in Pages first. It's driving me nuts, any help?

Put a page break or section break at the beginning of the first page. Insert the image just before the break if you want it inline.

How do I insert additional pages inside a footnoted document with accompanying text boxes and still keep pages below syncronized?

Is there a way to insert additional pages into a lengthy document containing continuous footnotes at the bottom of each page and accompanying text boxes on most pages without losing the syncronization of text and text box information on the pages below?

Footnotes do not work for text in textboxes, and you can keep on adding text after existing text so I am not sure what you are asking for.

Inserting a page into a document

I hate sections but whether I designate a Section or not, the program just goes ahead and does it. Then if I need to insert a page after the initial layout, and can't do it. Is there a work around here?

Whatever version of Pages you are using (you haven't said) does not create Sections, you do.
Sections do not make it impossible to insert extra pages or reorder existing pages.
A Section Break is an invisible character inserted into the document, dividing it into what it says; "sections" (chapters if you will).
A Section is a series of pages within a Word Processing document that share Headers and Footers, Layout and background images.
The Section can be dragged into a different order in the Thumbnails, but the pages within the section do not change. They move together, otherwise you would scramble your text.

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

I'm in a multi-page document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

I'm in a multi-page Pages document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

Not on my document. I have a 7 page document open. The "flashing vertical bar" is at the top of page 3. I have the thumbnail view showing. I click page break and two blank pages are added to the end of my document. I have to scrool thru the pages to see that the 2 pages were added as they do not appear in the layout view... I'm not sure if it is inserting a "section" as it adds two blank pages.. But I am clicking on "INSERT PAGE BREAK".. So guess there are still a lot of bugs to fix..
Thanks again

You can't. But you could add a text box and rotate it (select the box, click arrange, rotate).

How to insert Tab Pages into a document

I have a print job, where I need to insert tab pages into a document. Is there a tab template that I can insert into the Indesign document? If not, how can I create tab pages in Indesign?

When I used to do tabs I would set up a page that was as wide as the tab sheet including the tab, then add text frames in each tab position.

Is it true that Pages cannot insert a page into the middle of a document?

Is it true that Pages cannot insert a page into the middle of a document?
I have tried this many times using different techniques and it just refuses to do it. Can anyone help?

To see how Pages works:
Menu > View > Page Thumbnails
When you click on the thumbnails each Section is outlined in yellow.
Click where you want a new page > Menu > Insert > Section Break
But then to have a new page all you need to do is add content to fill the page or Insert > Page Break to force the insertion point over onto a new page.

Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog?

Are Virtual Copies saved in Backups? How do I insert a backup into an existing catalog
I deleted a tif image file that I didn't intend to, which had several LR virtual copies created from it. The virtual copies had a lot of important history that document my print preparation edits. Are these virtual copies saved in the LR backups?
If so, how can I insert them into the catalog I am using? I have made a lot of edits in the two days since my last backup and don't want to lose that history either. Do you suggest I make a current backup before retrieving files from my last backup? I know I'm supposed to go to the backup location and open the last backup, but how do I blend that with the current work from the last 2 days?
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Rob,
That was exactly what I was after. However, I'm still having trouble getting the virtual copies imported. The master file was in my trash, I restored it to the original hard drive folder. Before I got your message I re- imported it to LR but of course LR came up with a new name since I was importing from and saving it to the same folder in LR. And of course no copies. This may have been a mistake, but before starting the procedure you described, I re-named the master file (it seemed that the import from backup would re-create it so I didn't want a conflict).
Then I did what you said and used the 'Import From Another Catalog' feature. I found the virtual copies in the backup and checked them. But when the import completed, the it gave me file names xxx/Copy1, xxx/Copy2 but there was no image or history or metadata. When I tried to find the folder containing the files, it said it couldn't be found. So I missed something in the settings. When I tried again, there was a warning saying the file(s) exists in the catalog and its settings differ. I went ahead anyway and the message I got was "No Photos in previous import"
Here's what the import from backup shows:
A box with catalog contents and all the folders and files within them, that you can check.
A New Photos section, which gives 2 file handling choices: a)add new photos to the catalog without moving them or b) don't import new photos
A Changed existing photos section with 2 replace options: a) nothing or b) Metadata and develop setting only. If you choose this you can check a box to preserve old settings as a virtual copy.
Not sure what to do. I changed the master file back to its original name, but that didn't make a difference. Suggestions? Thanks, Tom
