How do I insert multiple pages in Pages

In Pages, how do I insert more than one new page at a time? Using InDesign, for example, I can command the program to add, say, 22 (or however many) new pages to the document. I can't seem to find a way to do that kind of thing in Pages. I'm using version 5.2.2 (1877). I know how to insert single pages, but that can become a pain quickly when working in a long document.


I am working on a Mac Mini, Mavericks 10.9.5

Pages-OTHER, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Indesign and Pages work differently.


In Indesign you can assemble a structure and then add content, in Pages it is generally the content that creates the structure.


In a Word Processing Pages document you can't have empty pages, but you can make lots of pages by inserting Page or Section Breaks then copying and pasting those repeatedly, assembling more as you go to copy and paste.


In a Layout document which is the only one that allows essentially structureless pages, or semi-structured pages, copy and paste the thumbnails repeatedly. Progressively copying more till you make up the numbers.

btw If you are used to Indesign you will find Pages 5.2.2 a shock. No facing pages, no Textbox linking and well over 110 other missing features that were in Pages '09 and made it so efficient and useful.
