The option you highlight has nothing to do with Pages at all (and all Pages versions are 'free').
What you're looking at is the standard print options available in every application.
The layout direction only makes sense when you're printing multiple pages to a single sheet of paper (the printer scales each page down to fit). If you're printing, say, 4 pages per sheet you can choose:
1 2
3 4
or
2 1
4 3
or
1 3
2 4
or:
3 1
4 2
but if you're only printing a single page per sheet, the options make no sense and are therefore disabled.
That's handled by Pages -> Inspector -> Document
Thank you so much! I'm want to print my bank statement sideways on landscape so I can highlight each person's expenses. Is there a way to do that?
