Pages Version 5.5.3
Why do sub pages appear in the thumbnail section and how do I ungroup those pages so they are independent?
Pages-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Hi dnotari,
Click in the Thumbnail Panel to see a yellow border (all pages are in one Section).
Click in the body of the document, and insert Section Breaks to make pages independent.
Page 1 is now in its own Section and is independent. Repeat after each page.
Regards,
Ian.
How do I create a Section Break in the page layout mode?
Every page is its own section in Layout Mode, so it is not an issue.

And yet I have the persistent yellow box around three pages. How do I get rid of that?
I have ebb tried deleting all three and cannot.

Then you do not have a Layout document you have a Word Processing document and need to insert Section Breaks at the end of your pages.

And yet, here is the persistent yellow box.

Hi LuAn,
Do you mean a persistent yellow box such as this?
(Example from Simple Newsletter template)
Please reply with a screen shot of a small part of your screen (command shift 4 and drag). Full screen shots (command shift 3) are often difficult to read.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip on how to post a screen shot.

I discovered that you have to be in "Page Layout View" which you do by deselecting "Document Body"under the document tab.
This keeps all of your information on the same page without making a sub page. The disadvantage is that is buries the extra text in the text box below where you can see it. But, the advantage is that a new sub page doesn't appear every time you type beyond the allotted space per text box.
Thanks for your reply/

Hi Dave,
In my example, (Simple Newsletter) we have a Word Processing document with Text Boxes. But the Placeholder Text (in the Document Body) seems to "glue" the two pages into a single Section. Inserting a Section Break places the new Section below Page 2.
Click on the Placeholder Text and type to replace it. Even though my text flows over three pages, I can insert a Section Break at the end of Page 1.
So the gremlin in this template (and maybe other templates) is the Placeholder Text.
A pity that the Pages 5 Template Chooser does not clearly delineate between Word Processing templates and Page Layout templates . It seem like pot luck.
Personally, I use templates for ideas and then do my own thing by starting with a blank (Word Processing) document.
Regards,
Ian.
