Is there an improvement in sight for Pages 5.2?

I use an old version of Pages simply because the current one is just a catastrophe. I think apple should be absolutely ashamed of what it is today..my older version is so far superior its not even funny...how do you feel about it and can we expect any significant improvement...

I too use the old version. I have been working on a new project for the last few days and forced myself to try the new one (5.2.2) again. I think I agree with your choice of the word 'catastrophe': I came here to contribute to an old thread about missing features that presumably are now lost forever (basic page layout things like linked text boxes) but I have encountered significant bugs on what's really a very simple layout job.
Rather than go into detail, can I urge you (and everyone else that's dissatisfied) to report problems to Apple. These need to be in sufficient detail to demonstrate that we're not just moaning but actually hitting things that simple don't work properly or (as in my case today) are inconsistent in their operation. Reports go to Apple through http://www.apple.com/feedback/.
I was amused - which helped because I have been really frustrated and wasted a lot of time today - to see the 'old' Pages icon on the feedback page . I love the old Pages...

Are there any monthly calendar templates for Pages?

Are there any monthly calendar templates for Pages?

Take a look at the user-contributed templates at iWork Community.

Is there an APA format template for pages?

I am trying to find an APA format template for pages? Does one exist?

I do believe there is at least one user-contributed one at iWork Community. Also, you could open any Word template in Pages. You might need to change the file extension from .dot to .doc for Pages to recognize it.

Is there an Apple User Manual for Pages 5.5.2?

I've been a Pages 09 user for many years. There's a lot to like in Pages 5.5.2. But a user manual showing techniques would be appreciated. Particularly for Search & Replace, whole word searches, invisibles searches, and so forth.
Appreciated.

Try googling "apple pages search" to find stuff like
Pages for Mac 5.0: Find and replace text
Of course no amount of documentation will fix defects in Pages 5. Pages 4 is vastly superior in most areas.
To have Apple see your views on these defects, use
http://www.apple.com/feedback
and post a review in the app store.

Why is there a separate menu item for "Page setup" when there is already a tab for it in the "Print..." menu?

I just can't see the point of having the same options in two places! The "Page Setup" tab from the "Print..." menu item has more options, relating to printer features, whereas the "Page Setup" dialogue box is basic and looks to me to be a little 'shoddy'. I'd have thought it would be a good idea to have the 'better' set of features available, but from it's own menu item, rather than a tab. And no duplicated controls!!

Firefox on Windows doesn't have Page Setup in the Print dialog, it is in the Print Preview window.
That isn't the only menu item that appears in multiple places. '''View Page Info''' is in the Tools menu (on Windows) and in the Contextual menu. '''Bookmark this Page''' is in the Bookmarks menu and the Contextual menu, along with the Tab Context menu.

Are there two different paths for Pages?

What is newer: pages 5.1 on my MacBook Air or pages 9 on my old desktop?
Pages 9 appears to have options that pages 5.1 does not (such as merge fields).
I also don't see an online manual for pages 5.1. The latest manual is pages 2.
Now I wonder if Apple created a smaller release of pages for devices like the Air.
My desktop can not run the latest version of the of OS (10.9.1). I am anticipating buying a new desktop soon. But I wouldn't want to buy a new desktop and find that I was forced to buy a "crippled" version of pages.

Pages 5 has been out now for 4 months.
You never read any of the reviews or comments in the App Store before you installed it?
Apple has completely rewritten all the iWork and iLife software, also iTunes and to some extent Safari.
In the process they stripped out over 100 features in Pages, added a lot of bugs and made the file formats incompatible with previous versions.
They have even made the file formats incompatible between minor versions such as Pages 5.01 and Pages 5.1.
Whilst there are some features that are improvements in Pages 5, mainly object styles and the drawing tools, everything else is a massive step backwards with no real indication from Apple, except a minor list, about what they will put back, when or even if ever.
The essential issue is what Apple did to its users. This was foisted on them without warning and damaged a lot of their files. Apple has basically abandoned the previous iWork apps, but left them on your Macs as a fall back. The new file format is totally new, bloated and extremely incompatible with everything else, even itself at intervals.
Currently most users are totally fed up, going back to Pages '09 and hunting around for a replacement in the long term.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

any suggestions

It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

Are there any additional templates for pages other than those you get when you install the program? If so, where do you find them?

I am looking for additional templates for iWork, specifically for pages. Does Apple or anyone else have them?

Yes there are plenty of third-party templates available for iWork applications. Try doing a search on Google or software download pages such as MacUpdate or VersionTracker.
A few links to get you started:
http://www.iworkcommunity.com/

Frozen warning located at upper left corner of pages app which says "There aren't any warnings for this document". Cannot seem to be able to close this window. It interferes with my ability to use pages, as it always remains in front of all documents I am working on. Any suggestions on how to remove this frozen warning?

Usually it is not frozen as such it is just waiting for you to click on OK somewhere.
Check if there isn't a button or window somewhere or whether Enter will clear it.

HT2534 I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said that i have not yet used this ID on iTunes yet. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It won't let me continue.

I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said I have not yet used this ID with iTunes. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It will not let me continue without entering one in.

- Add a credit card or other payment method like redeeming an iTunes gift card.
- Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Launch Pages.
From the Pages menu bar click Pages > About Pages
The latest version available is 5.0.1
If it's 5.0.1, your currently installed copy of Pages is up to date.

Is there a limit to how many pages i can have for one website using muse/business catalyst?
