It seems that Pages 09 automatically added hyphens. In the current version, I see the box to turn off hyphenation, but the program does not seem to auto hyphenate anything. As I know something about typesetting, I find it odd that a 10 page, single spaced document with many "rivers" has exactly no hyphens. I checked, and the "turn off hyphenation" is not checked.
Suggestions?

Use Pages '09, why do you have to use Pages 5.2.2?

I know that not every upgrade is an upgrade. However, I did keep '09 around for a while, but generally use the "current" version.
Well then there you are.

I am having the same issue with Pages 5.5.3. Unfortunately, the replies you've received have been less than useful. Perhaps bumping up this thread will turn up someone with a useful workaround to offer. In the meantime, I'm going to leave feedback with Apple.
There is a Hyphenation checkbox on the Toolbar ▸ Document panel. Hyphenation in Pages v5.2.2 will not appear as long as this checkbox is deselected. This will also override the “Remove paragraph hyphenation” when it is deselected in the Format ▸ Text ▸ More tab.
Peter's advice to resume usage of Pages '09 is not whimsical or rude. It is just that Pages 09 has 100+ more features, and countless more bug fixes than Apple has bothered to introduce in Pages v5 (any release). As these are entirely different applications, with different design goals, and remarkably different capability — the actual upgrade is Pages 09.
