Where's "Insert Pages" in iWork's Pages 2013?

In Pages 2009, we were able to see all of the different styles of pages by clicking on the "Pages" icon with that "+" sign at the top of the document or we could go to Insert > Pages to see the array of page style options to choose from. Has the location changed? Or do we no longer get a set of pre-styled templates beyond two pages anymore?

Pages 5 has abandoned the multi-section template model that allowed you to do this in Pages 4.3. It is a major change in document format, and is causing problems for many - especially those used to using the features it enabled (such as being able to 'insert pages' within a document).
In Pages 5 it seems a document is simply a single text stream - imagine something in TextEdit. So if you want to add pages within a document, really all you can do is put in some page-breaks within the text. If you want to move a block of pages from one part of the document to another, you have to select the text within the edit window and cut or copy the text, pasting it back in where you want it to appear.
It is not clear how, for example, you would copy a block of pages from one document to another - presumably you have to copy the text from within the first document, and place cursor within second document before pasting. This gets the text across, but less clear what happens to the page format of the source document - I suspect (but have not tried) that it gets lost during the pasting - and the text ends up being formatted using the section format settings of the receiving document.

How to insert page numbers in document

How can I insert page numbers using Pages starting with the second page of the document?

click where you want the numbers > Menu > Insert > Page Numbers
At the end of the first page:
Menu > Insert > Section Break
Click in the 2nd page:
Inspector > Layout > Section > Start at: 1 > uncheck Use previous headers and footers

Cannot insert page numbers in Word for Mac 2008

When I select "insert page number" from the insert menu, nothing appears. I am in email communication with Microsoft support to try to understand why this function isn't working correctly, but so far have no solution, so I wonder if anyone on this list has an idea about what could be happening. I never had this problem with Word 2004, and installed Word 2008 a few weeks ago.

The funny thing is that it is ONLY your user account. So I would advise perhaps, after all to reinstall office:
1) quit all office apps
2) remove items (put on desktop but do NOT yet trash!):
a) startupdisk (NOT homefolder!)/library/application support/MICROSOFT (add a "TOP" to Microsoft, by renaming it, so you know it came from the top level start up disk; then move iten "MICROSOFT TOP" to trash - but do NOT empty your trash!)
b) homefolder(this is your actual login account or folder)/library/application support/MICROSOFT (put this second microsoft folder onto desktop, rename to "MICROSOFT SECOND", then move to trash)
c) then go to homefolder/library/preferences/ where you find a THIRD microsoft folder (you can move that straight to trash)
d) stay in preferences and further up, you'll find around 10 or so "plist" items, all starting with "com.microsoft...." (put them all in trash)
FINALLY!: remove microsoft from your applications folder itself (put into trash)
Do NOT empty your trash can, so your old MS items are still in there.
Reinstall office.
That is the safest way I can think of you doing it.
Let me know how you get on.

Missing "Insert Pages" - preferences and other beasties

Last week Peter Spier tried to help me with this but I haven't been able to get it to work. When I go to Layout - Insert Pages - it is grayed out. All I can do is Add pages and this kind of drops them in where ever it feels like and has messed with my auto flow text. I gave my IT guy the link that Peter sent me but it hasn't worked. Anyone out there with some other solutions i would be more than happy to hear from you! :)
Thank you,
Barbara

I didn't need notes. I started Indesign, opened a multipage file (a
one-page file will let you add pages, but not insert them), and went to
Layout > Pages, and all the choices were grayed out. Tried it again, and
they were all there. So with nothing intelligent to say, I kept quiet.
Now I just tried a one-page file again, and now it *will* let me insert
pages. The logic of not being able to insert pages between one page made
sense to me, so I'm very confused now. There's something strange about
insert pages. I just don't have enough time today to try and figure out
what makes it not work.

Adobe Acrobat 8 - Inserting pages

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and for some
reason when I insert a page it does not insert that particular page where it is suppose to. For example, I went to page 13 and inserted
page 14 after page 13 and it actually inserted as page 4. Any ideas
as how I can fix this?
Thanks
Sheila

I am having a similar problem. When I highlight the pages I want, in the correct order and enter the pages as a group under a single cover page, the pages reverse the order on the insertion. Example: Tables - Insert tables 1 through 8 after the Tables page. The inserted pages start with table 8 and end with table 1 - in the reverse order. I can, obviously, inset them one at a time, but it should be faster to insert them as a group.
Since the tables are named table 1, table 2, etc. and that is how I select them, they should go in the right order. This seems to be a recent problem which I have not had in the past with inserting pages into a document.

X pro crashes when inserting pages

Running windows XP, up to date. Acrobat X pro, no updates available. I have inserted pages and combined files for years without issues. Today, it locks up and crashes once I select the file(s); it doesn't even ask where to insert the pages. I am at a loss as to what I can do besides uninstalling and reinstalling the program.

I have encountered the same problem. and uninstalling and reinstalling did not do any help. my operation system is Windows 8.

Preview Insert Page from scanner How to Change Settings

I often look to add pages to existing scanned PDF documents using Preview's Insert Page from Scanner Function in Mavericks. Selecting this automatically opens a scan dialog. When i use the flatbed to scan, it seems to always scan in black and white vs. greyscale or color. I can't find anyway to change these settings. When i scan from the document feeder, it automatically scans in color. I think there has to be a default settings for this somewhere ,but I can't find it. Anyone know where the settings may be?

Thanks for the reminder to update my product info! It's been a while since I posted. My scanner is a Canon MX892. The window you show, I see when I use Image Capture or Import From Scanner, but there is no pop-up or any menu to change any settings when I use Insert Page From Scanner. I use this function to add on pages to an original PDF, which is the easiest way I have found to do that. Here is the screen I get - no ability to change any settings other than Flatbed vs. Doc Feeder.

Preview Won't Insert Pages Into .PDF from File

Preview - Edit - Insert - Page from File doesn't work since upgrading to Yosemite. Dragging and dropping the .pdf pages from one Preview window to the document in another Preview windows does not work either. It appears that the command is executed (dragging and dropping shows the green circle with the white plus when I drop) but nothing happens.
In the end I just need to add four .pdf pages from one document to an existing .pdf document. This function worked fine and I became accustomed to easily adding/deleting/organizing pages in .pdf documents using Preview with Mavericks. I have restarted and shut down the computer multiple times including opening and closing preview and the documents I'm using. Any thoughts?

Works for me.
Open a PDF File
Navigate to where want a page inserted.
Go to Edit ===> Insert ===> From Scanner or Page from File or Blank Page
Preview will insert page below the page.
It is not as good a tool as some other software for fiddling with PDFs but it works.

Inserting pages problem

Hi,
I am using sections and I ran into a problem inserting pages. When I insert pages it adds the pages to the right side of the binding. Can anyone help with this problem.
Thanks!

You get more control of where the page is inserted if you go to: Layout>Pages>Insert Pages.

Where is the Pages free trial?

Where is the Pages free 30-day trial?

You are right, you can't download iWork trial anymore. You can only go to the AppStore. That is bad. I don't like applications that one can't try out first. It is like buying the pig in the sack (swedish proverb)
Here is a treat. Yvan has the trial on this address

Inserting pages and footnotes

How do I set up Pages to insert page numbers (i.e. page 1) only from the actual third page of the document? And how to set up footnotes so that they start again from 1 at the beginning of each chapter.
Many thanks,

Welcome to the club.
You read page 56 (in the English version) of Pages User Guide delivered which every copy of iWork '08.
And how to set up footnotes so that they start again from 1 at the beginning of each chapter.
You read page 53 of the same resource.

Insert pages from a single document multiple times

I'm trying to create a simple program that I can use to display PDF files that I can use to play at the piano. I perform often, and need to create "play lists" from which I can pull all, or part of, a PDF file containing music and display it.
I have it all working, except for one problem. I may need to "repeat" a section of a piece. I'm building up the play list by calling AcroPDDoc.InsertPages for each item in the play list. If a PDF file appears multiple times in the play list, when I call InsertPages, the call fails.
In this code snippet, pdDoc is the main doc to which I'm adding pages. playList is a generic List of my own PlayList objects, and I need to iterate through all the items in the playList except the first one, which is already loaded.
This code works great unless the fileName I specify has already been opened. The call to AcroPDDoc.Open succeeds just fine, but the call to pdDoc.InsertPages fails if the file has already had pages from it inserted. All other documents work fine. The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
        int insertPage = pdDoc.GetNumPages() - 1;
        for (int i = 1; i < playList.Count; i++)
          var newDoc = new AcroPDDoc();
          var item = playList(i);
          int startPage = 0;
          int endPage = 0;
          if (newDoc.Open(item.fileName))
            startPage = Math.Max(0, item.startPage);
            endPage = Math.Max(0, item.endPage);
            var totalPages = newDoc.GetNumPages;
            if (item.endPage < 0 || item.endPage > totalPages)
              endPage = totalPages - 1;
            int numPages = (endPage - startPage) + 1;
            if (pdDoc.InsertPages(insertPage, newDoc, startPage, numPages, 0))
              insertPage += numPages;
So, the questions:
1.) Is it possible to load pages from a single document multiple times?
2.) Is there a better way to do this? (That is, loop through a list of file names, starting and ending page numbers, and add the documents to an existing document.)
Any help appreciated! Thanks -- Ken

Hi Ken,
>The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
The documentation does not state explicitly that you can't insert pages again from a PDDoc you open again and never close.
But it mentions that you get references only from an already opened PDDoc.
"...Opens the specified document. If the document is already open, it returns a reference to the already opened PDDoc. You must call PDDocClose() once for every successful open..."
It doesn't state that you can't insert pages from a referenced PDDoc but it seems so.
I would close the PDDoc within your for-loop after inserting pages and release newDoc.
Regards
Norbert

How to insert page numbers in word

How to insert page numbers in a PDF document?

How to insert page numbers in a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.2?
Thanks.

OK, I found it myself:
1. Tools - Pages - Edit Page Design - Header & Footer - Add Header & Footer.
2. Select the font and size, etc, place the cursor on the appropriate site to insert the page number, click the "Insert Page Number" button, and click OK.
That is!

Can you give inserted pages a unique page number in Acrobat?

Example:
I have a pdf with 100 pages of various documents arranged in chronological order and numbered 1-100 ('The Bundle')
I have written separate document which make reference to various page numbers in the pdf. ('The Referring Document')
I then get another 2 page pdf ('The Insert') which I want to insert in the Bundle so it remains in chronological order. Let's say I will need to insert it after page 47.
I do not want to renumber the Bundle 1-102 after I have put in The Insert as this will mean that the page numbers in the Referring Document will have to be edited to take into account that all the page numbers after page 47 are now different.
What I would like to do is to renumber The Insert: 47a and 47b. This means that the inserted pages have unique page identifiers and I do not have to edit all the pages in the Referring Document.
Question:
Is it possible to automate page numbering for Inserts in the way described above in Adobe Acrobat? The example above describes a simple situation. The reality is that there can be many inserts with many pages to each of them.
Many thanks in advance!
Ravi

Hi Ravi ,
Try this and see if this helps.
1. Tools - Pages - Edit Page Design - Header & Footer - Add Header & Footer.
2. Select the font and size, etc, place the cursor on the appropriate site to insert the page number, click the "Insert Page Number" button, and click OK.
Or you can choose the following option as well.
You can effortlessly add page numbers in PDF document and insert numbers in PDF files with the help of PDF Bates Numbering tool. This application is more beneficial for forensic experts and professionals.
