I have an 800 page document that requires me to edit the text and margins on only the odd pages. Is there a way to do this all at once? It would take hours to do each one at a time.
It helps to tell us what you are using.
If it is Pages 5.2, it does not have Facing Pages, just one of 110 missing features. so there are no odd and even pages.
If you have it use Pages '09 instead.

Sorry! I have pages 5.2 and 4.3. I use pages 09 more often and that is what I am using for this document. Is there a way to do it in 09?
In Pages '09:
Inspector > Document > Facing Pages
Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Left and Right pages are different

Thanks Peter,
I did that already but can't edit the text on only odd pages. Am I missing something?
Facing Pages controls, headers, footers margins and page numbers, not the basic content.
I am not sure exactly what it is you are doing.
Are you saying you want text to thread from odd page to odd page, and even page to even page? Like two parallel lines of text? Say for a text with facing translation.
To do that you will have to use Textboxes on the odd and even pages, in turn linked on only their side. Quite a bit of work for 800 pages.

format odd/even pages of document
