Oct 23, 2013 2:24 AM in response to Mark Lyon1by skeoghman,Same problem. For me makes the new version redundant.
I also have a problem saving Word documents to the Cloud - they appear to be there if I search in the finder but not when I log into iCloud. Very odd.

Oct 23, 2013 11:10 AM in response to Mark Lyon1by festivalpreview,Big disappointment. I was looking for outlining to be added in Pages for iOS. Instead it was removed from Pages for Macintosh. I need outline view to compose my documents, so will probably stay with Pages '09 for word processing.

Oct 26, 2013 2:48 PM in response to festivalpreviewby Old Time Scottish Lad,I'm disappointment for exactly the same reason. Does any one know of a good outline processor?

Oct 26, 2013 5:28 PM in response to Old Time Scottish Ladby Mark Lyon1,Onmioutliner Pro. Can't be beat. Drop dead simple to use. Many sophisticated features and scripting if you want to look into it.
What I use to get organized before I begin actual text. But in Pages, I still need to have outlines with expansion and contraction to move around a large document.
The addition I hoped for most in Pages 5.0 was a navigation panel or window that was open separate from the text window. Oh well.

Oct 26, 2013 6:24 PM in response to Mark Lyon1by festivalpreview,It's annoying that Omni Group wants another $30 for the upgrade to OmniOutliner. I suppose I will pony up anyway since I like their software and I have their SyncServer working. Does the new app version import and export outlines from Pages 9 or Word?

Oct 27, 2013 10:03 AM in response to festivalpreviewby Mark Lyon1,If your workflow involves outlining, it's definitely worth the money.
Pages won't read OPML. Exporting in Plain text loses outline levels. Pages doesn't Ike RTF. For me OO doesn't play well with Pages. Workaround is to export OO to Word in OPML. Then import the Word outline to Pages.

Oct 30, 2013 8:29 AM in response to Mark Lyon1by JoelK52,Yes, I was very disappointed. I have a few documents where I require outline view. I also have Word for Mac, which I use for some client work. I've switched the documents that require outline view from Pages to Word.
Like someone else said, I was waiting for outline view to go to iOS Pages, but instead it got dropped from OS X Pages. Bah, humbug!

Oct 30, 2013 1:02 PM in response to Mark Lyon1by mfergu01,WOW--dropping outline view was a HORRIBLE mistake! I was in the middle of a huge manuscript, had updated Pages, and then opened it up to get working and saw my carefully crafted outline converted into a massive block of text. Lovely--thanks a lot?! This sort of ridiculous mistake starts making Omni Group or Microsoft seem like viable companies again. Where's Steve when you need him? :-(

Oct 30, 2013 6:16 PM in response to Mark Lyon1by Nicholas James,Hey, I can still use outlining !!! Neat O.
Start your paragraph with a number.
Press return.
It becomes a number list.
On the next paragraph, press TAB and it will indent one level to make a tiered numbering list.
Want to go back up, use the SHIFT TAB to go up one level.

Oct 30, 2013 6:18 PM in response to Nicholas Jamesby Nicholas James,Oh wait. Select all
Go to Bullets and Lists
Check Tiered numbers.

Oct 30, 2013 6:21 PM in response to Nicholas Jamesby Nicholas James,Oh shoot. That does not give me a Table of Contents. I have to use a 'Style'.
Now what?
-
Oct 30, 2013 6:37 PM in response to Nicholas Jamesby Nicholas James,Okay. That works. I put each level in the appropriate style.
Say Heading, Heading 2, Heading 3 and it will be put in the Table of Contents.
When I format the text in the Table of Contents, It indents the entire set of the correct level.
- Using the first spot. Not sure what the left and right spots do.
