How do I add metadata in Pages 5.2?

I can't seem to find any Information tab in the Inspector like there used to be, where you can add metadata to your document -- Author, Title, Description, Keywords. Has this function disappeared?

I have voiced my opinioin that Pages 5.2 is so flawed that is unacceptable as a commercial product.  5.2 contains so many problems that is it useless for our purposes.  We have removed the app from our machines. 
Another reason for not using Pages 5.2 is that we have found no way to turn off auto saving.  Consequently, if a document from Pages 4 is opened in 5.2, it will immediately be autosaved as a 5.2 file.  This means the file cannot be opened in Pages 4, and the backwards export function in 5.2 does not work. 
Bottom line, Pages 5.2 is a hazard to use.  Pages 5 also lacks a very large number of features that were removed when Pages 5.2 was developed.  Many of these were highly valuable.
As of now, we recommend that users remove this app from their machines and drop back to Pages 4.
Furthermore, we recommend that the word about all of this be spread as far and wide and as quickly as possible.  We don't care about Apple, where some people should be fired on account of 5.2  We do care about fellow users of Pages 4.  That means spreading the word about defects and risks associated with usinig 5.2
Some on this forum have pointed to varioius resources that provide technical solutions for problems that have been discussed here.  These pointers have been helpful. 
However, as a veteran of the software business let me say this.  Under no circumstances should it be necessary to have to consult technical forums and read obscure Apple documents to figure out work arounds in what is supposed to be a finished, commercial grade product like Page.  This applies to inexperieced users AND professionals.
Pages 5.2 is a textbook example of several things NOT to do with a commercial product.  The first is to remove features that make a subsequent release of a product LESS useful than the one before.  The next is to re-engineer the UI in a way that makes a product harder, not easier to use.  And the obvious one, NEVER release a product that has not been fully tested, as Apple has done with Pages 5.2
The question I have been thinking about is the business issue.  Why on earth would Apple release a highly defective product into the user base.  There is one explanation.  Pages 5.2 is free.   This leaves the door wide open to follow on with a Premium product that works, maybe even a modestly enhanced verion of Pages 4 ... and sell it for a high retail price.  THAT makes perfect sense.

  • How do i add a second page to a document in Pages 5.2.2

    How do I add a second page to a document in Pages 5.2?

    Hello jeddi17,
    You can insert a page break with the Insert (menu) > Page Break.
    Note if your typing overflows the first page, then a new page is automatically created.
    Pages for Mac 5.0: Change the flow of text
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15334
    Force text to the next line or page
    A line break, also called a soft return, starts a new line without starting a new paragraph. A page break moves the next line of text to the top of the next page.
    Click where you want the break to occur.
    Do one of the following:
    For a line break: Press Shift-Return. 
    For a page break: Click Insert in the toolbar, then choose Page Break.                                
    Take care,

  • How can I add metadata to iWeb pages hosted on .mac?

    How can I add title/description/keyword metadata to my website?
    Is there an easy solution?
    I publish my site to my .mac account.
    Any direction would be appreciated. I work in the web marketing industry, so it bugs me not being able to add metadata to my site.
    Thanks!
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    So I find the folder: Welcome_files for example
    Then do I open up the Welcome.js file using text
    editor?
    When I add the metadata, then do I Save As and put
    the file back into the Welcome_files folder?
    Actually every page like Welcome has a Welcome.html file and then a folder "Welcome_files". The file you want to edit is the Welcome.html file. Not anything in the folder.
    Do I need to Publish again, or is that process
    automatic since the site is pulling from down from my
    iDisk?
    Nope don't publish again. That would just overwrite you changes again. Just save the file in the same place and you're done.
    Will I have to re-enter metadata every time that the
    page changes, or every time the site changes?
    Anytime iWeb thinks the page needs to be republished, your edited file will be overwritten.

  • How do you add fonts in pages?

    How do you add fonts and clip art in pages? I seem to have few fonts in pages. New to Mac. Thanks! Also seems that there is no clipart in pages? If there is, where can I find it?

    On the Mac you add fonts to the System by double clicking on them, they then get opened in Font Book where you can open/close and organise them.
    Most ClipArt offered with other applications is rubbish. Apple has left it to you to source your own, better material. This may help:

  • How do I add a XAML page to a Universal App?

    I created a new Blank App. Everything works as it should. Now I want to add a new page. This is the wrong way I'm doing it:
    First, I add a new Blank Page to the Windows Project
    foo.xml.cs
    namespace testapp
    /// <summary>
    /// An empty page that can be used on its own or navigated to within a Frame.
    /// </summary>
    public sealed partial class foo : Page
    public foo()
    this.InitializeComponent();
    Then I add the same class name to the Shared project
    foo.cs
    namespace ZUMOAPPNAME
    class foo
    I modify foo.cs to
    namespace testapp
    public sealed partial class foo
    public void shared()
    win();
    And then add a method to foo.xaml.cs to make it
    namespace testapp
    /// <summary>
    /// An empty page that can be used on its own or navigated to within a Frame.
    /// </summary>
    public sealed partial class foo : Page
    public foo()
    this.InitializeComponent();
    public void win()
    shared();
    The win method can call the shared method.
    However, for the shared method, the compiler gives me this error:
    The name 'win' does not exist in the current context
    What's the proper way to add a new page?

    Hi Greg,
    Take a look at my blog entry
    Strategies for sharing code in XAML-based Universal apps
    As Magnus notes, all parts of a partial class need to be in the same namespace to be part of the same class. ZUMOAPPNAME.foo and testapp.foo are unrelated classes.
    It's not clear exactly what you're trying to do here, but a common pattern is to have different Xaml for the Windows and WindowsPhone projects but to share data. A good way to do that is to create the new page with the same name (for example: "foo")
    in both the Windows and WindowsPhone projects. This will add a foo.xaml and foo.xaml.cs file in each and will define the foo class in both foo.xaml.cs files.
    You can then add a foo.cs file in the shared project with your shared functions:
    Shared/Foo.cs:
    namespace testapp
    public sealed partial class foo
    public void shared()
    do_shared_stuff();
    do_plat_specific_stuff();
    And call it from the platform specific functions:
    Windows\foo.xaml.cs:
    namespace testapp
    /// <summary>
    /// An empty page that can be used on its own or navigated to within a Frame.
    /// </summary>
    public sealed partial class foo : Page
    public foo()
    this.InitializeComponent();
    shared();
    public void do_platform_specific_stuff()
    // do windows stuff
    You can use this to mix and match as much as you'd like. If you have very straigtforward UI you may be able to copy the entire .Xaml and .Xaml.cs into the shared directory or you may have platform specific Xaml but share the Xaml.cs file. In most cases you'll
    have a mix of platform specific xaml and code and shared code.

  • How do I add metadata to a PDF to specify the document's natural language?

    I have a PDF which isn't in US English. Can I add metadata to the document to say what language it is in?
    Is there a standard way of doing this?
    I see I can add Name:Value pairs to Custom Properties in Reader. Is that the right way of going about it? If so, what Name do I use?

    Are you sure you can add custom metadata properties? I'm surprised to hear that, because Reader is not usually capable to editing PDF files in such a way at all, and I wasn't able to insert such properties in Reader XI, even with the Extended Reader Rights applied to a file...
