Everytime I try it inserts the page at the END of the document. The HELP is no help, and I can't find any other documentation on being able to do this. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks! - ph

Select the Thumbnail below wihch you want to add a page. When you insert a page, it will be added just below the selected one.
This assumes that you are working in Page Layout mode, because there is no Insert Page in a Word Processing template. If that's not the case, or if you are unsure of the difference between Page Layout and Word Processing modes, please give us more information about what you are doing.

Jerry thanks, I've figured out a workaround. What I discovered however, was that adding a section break to an already created Word Processing document completely messes up the pages. It DOES add a section break, but it pushes the text off to the next section, leaving only an image on the page (I've got layered pages.)
Anyway, I've recreated the document in a Page Layout version and while it's not as intuitive, I've been able to cut and paste from the old one and build it anew with the order I want. Appreciate the feedback.
PH,
The way the Pages designers see things, all Sections need to begin a new page. If you don't agree, it would be interesting to discuss what you are trying to do with a section break in the middle of a page.

Hey Jerry,
I'm NOT trying to create a section break in the middle of a page. I wasn't. When I tried to create them - in the WP option of Pages, I'd be at the bottom or end of a page - my ultimate goal was to create a new page IN Between pages - but anyway, so i go to create a section break, and it does, but it grabs the text from the page above and REMoves it from the page and shunts it down to the next new section, leaving the original page empty of text with only the forlorn image left behind. ph
When inserting the Section break or Page break for that matter, you have to be aware of where the insertion point is. It has to be after the text you do not want to move to the next page.
AP,
As Fruhulda notes, a Section Break is an Inline character that will move all text below it to the next page. With a combination of graphics and text, and with the graphics having the property of Object Causes Wrap turned on, you will get these apparently odd behaviors. This is why I often favor the Page Layout mode myself. As many experienced users will say, you can do anything in a WP doc that you can do in a PL doc, but in my opinion the WP features often get in the way of simple operation when graphics are involved.
Glad you are on track now.

Is it possible to INSERT a blank page Between existing pages? Everytime I try it inserts the page at the END of the document.
