Please help a complete beginner....is there a way to format the layout of the pages in the Pages application?
I've typed about 6 pages of text and would like to create an A5 size booklet with this, but I'm not sure how to set this layout.
If anyone could offer some advice I'd be really grateful. Thank you.
File > Page Setup...
If you are using Pages v5(.2), you can select the Document icon from the Toolbar, and temporarily set the Paper Size to A5. Your document content will reflect this change. You can then export to PDF, ePub, or using the File > Print > PDF sequence, you can add the PDF to iBook. If you get the free Create Booklet PDF Plug-in, you can also do File > Print > PDF > Create Booklet. It still works on OS X 10.9.4.
Another tool that does imposition on an existing PDF and produces a booklet is the shareware ($35) Cheap Imposter. I just downloaded and tried it on OS X 10.9.4 and it seems to work. It provides the ability to change the Paper size, margin offsets, and document zoom factor. The preferences for Cheap Imposter optionally allow you to install a PDF Print service, so that it works like Create Booklet above.
I have used Create booklet many times. I writ ethe text on A4 format and then save as/export PDF and use Create booklet OR I go to Save as PDF in the print dialog and choose create boolet. You will get the A5 format but printed on a4 paper.
A book that doesn't have left or right pages?

is there a "book layout" in Pages?
