Documents open "small" in newest version of Pages 5.5.2
I just noticed this in the most recent version of Pages and it's making working with old documents...tedious.
Instead of opening in the view size that I had closed them as, all existing Pages documents open in the same window dimensions, so I have to readjust the window dimensions of each document. This didn't happen previously.
How can I get all documents (existing docs) to open, say, in a specific windows dimension, magnification, and ideally, the same (or nicely overlapping) place on my monitor screen?

I want to format for a book, therefore I require "Mirrored Pages" and "Odd Page Breaks" or pagination. Is this possible on the new version of Pages 5.5.2.
Use MS Word or LibreOffice,

This month I downloaded the newest version of PAGES. The documents I have typed using this App will now not open and the message says-"You need a newer version of PAGES to open this document. Could anyone help me with this please. Thanks.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

I was sent a .pages doc. When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?
I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x? If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1. Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1. 5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format. Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents. Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks
I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps! -
I wnat to open a doc i created recently, but Pages tells me I require a the newest version of Pages, whicj I already have. THis has happened repeatedly.
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

How do I save an older document to pages '09 so I can open it in the versions of pages?
How do I save an older document to pages '09 so I can open it in the versions of pages?
Best is to Export to Word .doc files, just about all of the many versions of Pages can open those.

HT202879 Newest version of pages and .doc compatibility
Will the newest version of pages in Mavericks open .doc documents created in Microsoft Office 2004? I was about to update my MacBook to Mavericks, and it says that Mavericks will no longer be compatible with Microsoft Office 2004. So instead, I was just going to buy Pages and open all of my .doc documents using that. Will this work?
In another post, I mentioned that I tested Pages v5.0.1 opening Word documents created from August 1998, but not earlier.
I work in an office space with mixed Macs and Windows machines. The Macs all use Office for Mac 2011. No Pages application is installed.
Tom has good advice. -
Papers2 and the newest version of Pages (5.0.1)
I have a problem: I'm working with Papers2 (software from mekentosj), and the newest version of pages (5.0.1). But after updating the newest pages version, it doesn't allow me anymore to cite any papers.. It says: this version of pages is not supported.. Anyone has the same problem and knows how to resolve it?!
Cheers,
LeonieApple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

How can I uninstall the newest version of pages?
Is there a way to uninstall the newest version of pages? I just upgraded to Maverick, and all potential applications. Can I revert to the previous version of Pages without losing any files?
Thanks!You can remove both versions by using the Uninstaller Script found on this page, then reinstall your purchased version.

My previously saved documents in Pages will not open. When I click on one of the documents it is saying, "you need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Apps Store, but when I click on the apps store, it states that is installed and running the current version. Help, I can't open any of my saved documents.
The problem is that you have both versions of pages on your computer - pages 09 is in the dock with the old ink pot icon - pages version 5 (orange pen and paper icon) is in your applications folder. Delete your pages 09 icon from your dock by dragging it upwards in a puff of smoke - and drag the pages 05 icon from the applications folder to your dock and use that in future. This fixed it for me.
I presume I can uninstall pages 09 now. You need to do the same with numbers and keynote. -
After update to yosemite, I can't open some of my pages documents in the latest version of pages - when I try to open the documents, it says to update to the latest version but I have already done this? Any suggestions on how to solve this?
What steps have you taken to troubleshoot the problem?
Did you reboot your router at home - unplug if from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again?
Did you try Forgetting the Network and try to Rejoin? Settings>WiFi>Tap the blue arrow next to your network name>Forget this Network. Restart the iPad and then go back to Settings>WiFi>Tap your network name, enter your password and the tap Join.
Did you try Resetting Network Settings? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings and start all over again?

I recently accepted an automatic update(January, 2014) for Pages on my MacBook Pro. I can no longer open Pages or documents created with the prior version. Any suggestions as to how to correct this problem?
Open Activity Monitor. Select All Processes instead of My Processes at the top and then reorder everything by highest CPU usage. Take a screenshot and post the image here.

I just worked on a Pages document on my iPad. I wanted to finish it on my iMac (OSX 10.7.5). I emailed the iPad Pages document to get it on my iMac. I then tryed to open the Pages document on my iMac. The message said I needed a newer version of Pages for the iMac. I then went to the Apple store to upgrade Pages for the iMac. When I tried to download the new version, I received a message that Pages couldn't be installed unless I upgraded to OSX 10.9? What the He.. is going on?
be very careful about getting the iWork "updates." This forum is FULL of complaints about it.
Mavericks seems good, though.
If you try Pages 5 and dislike it, Pages 4.3 will still be located in an iWork Folder within your Applications Folder. -
