Q: Pages 5.0 (NEW) - How to add page
This is probably super simple, but I hate that I have to use so much time to find out how to ADD A PAGE in Pages.
If I can not see it, then Apple has made this too advanced when it should be super simple.
Does anybody know how to add pages in the new version of Pages?

Looks like you have to insert a Page Break, either from the Insert menu or the pink box with the + in it on the Toolbar of the window.
I can't get a Page Layout blank to open, so I've opened one of the Flyers & Posters then deleted all the content. I sometimes need larger poster layouts, so now I have to go to File>Page Setup... then under the Paper Size: popup select "Manage Custom Sizes..." and create the size I want. Then the new Document Inspector (View>Inspector>Document Setup) will recognize it and all of the other custom paper sizes I have created in the past.
If you do this, there is then an option under the Insert menu to add a Page rather than a Page Break as in word processing files.
I added Keyboard Shortcuts for the two Inspectors as Format – Shift-Command F and Document – Shift-Command-D.
Now I can save this layout as a Template and it shows up under File>New...>My Templates.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get an Advanced Find so I can replace special characters like Paragraph returns, Tabs, etc.
I think we are in for a little "re-orinetation" with the new iWork apps.
