Header and Footer don't have 3 sections anymore

Hi


What is happening to Pages?


Among other problems way more important, now header and footer don't have 3 sections, only one, and, for instance, I can't add a page number in the middle of the footer, o no, now i can only add one in the side.


Baffling. Maybe there's a reason crap and app rhyme.


Any ideas?

You have opened a Pages '08 or '09 document (no segmented footer) in the newer Pages, and until you attempt to change anything, it presents a single segment header/footer. Once you attempt to make a change, the document will be converted into the modern document format and the tripartite header and footer will be present.

Hi royks,


What version of Pages? Pages Menu > About Pages

What version of the operating system? Apple Menu > About This Mac


Headers and Footers with single fields went out when Pages '09 was replaced with Pages 5.0 in late 2013.

Here is a screen shot of a document from a template that I carried forward from Pages '09 to Pages 5.0 (and later versions):
