Is there a way to delete multiple pages (thumbnails)?

I set up a template document for home inspections with many blank pages with pre-formatted tables in to drop images into and write text descriptions. Sometimes the report will be much shorter and I need to remove several of these pages.


In an older version of Pages I was able to select multiple thumbnails over on the left and then delete them, easy peasy. Now I have to select one, hit delete, and do that over and over.


Not the end of the world, but Is there a way to select multiple thumbnails to speed up this process?

If your Pages document is a page layout design (not the default word processing choice), then you can select one or n-tuple thumbnails and delete them. If you try this in a word processing document, you will whack all of the document contents. If you attempt to use File menu : Convert to Page Layout on a word processing document, you will wipe the existing content, just as the preceding sentence.
