This CRUCIAL function somehow vanished, amongst other ones. How do i reenable double pages view in the latest version of pages 5.0?
OS X Mavericks (10.9)
There's enough space on an iPad screen to be able to take advantage of what spreads look like.
Especially with the new functionality for dual-screens, the "two up" view should still be an option, even if it's not practical for iOS.
Marcesh, what you need to understand is this isn't an upgrade. It is a DOWNgrade.
ok then let's disable the use of custom fonts in OSX too because icloud pages is restricted to those few predetermined by apple.
let's undermine millions of users and graphic designers out there.
to **** with "think different", unify the human race and squeeze them into a shape predetermined by apple.
to **** with 1984. As of 2013 we're back to 1983
i always hated not being able to have two pages on an ipad held in landscape mode. its ridiculous.
I just pulled 5.0 out of my dock, and will continue using Pages '09. Luckily, the "upgrade" is a whole new program. The only thing is, if you opened up a document in the new version, you'll have to copy/paste into a New document in the old version, and re-format it.
This is so lousy.
"Why 1984 turned out to be 1984 after all!"

You should check out Lucidpress (www.lucidpress.com). They have built a great cloud-based layout tool that has facing pages option in the document panel on the right.
Free during beta and they allow you to use custom fonts too!
Why not use Pages 09 if Pages 5.0 doesn't have a feature you like. You still should have Pages 09 in the Application folder > iWork
because once i used pages in icloud, all my documents have been converted to the new format and i cannot longer edit them in pages '09. if i just so much as try to, i get the message they had been deleted on the icloud page.
Just another reason why I din't use iCloud.
well its the 21st century, one should think one should be able to work on the same documents on multiple devices. but unfortunately apple decided older systems are no longer to be used. like a mac pro 2.1 which can only run lion - and no more new pages
You can now 😀
Apple is starting to s**k kinda ...
Back to manual page numbering?
...and when you send it out to print, either to your own A4 printer or to a commercial printer?
...or need to print 2 sided?
Peter
...and page numbering, double sided printing and printing individual pages?
Again. Why tie yourself up in knots? Just use Pages '09.

How do I get double-pages view in Pages 5.0
