No mirrored-margins? No facing-pages?

How can I make 'mirrored margins' or 'facing pages' in Pages version 5.6.1.? Has it been dropped in my version, as I cannot complete manuscripts for digital books without it.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), Lion, then Mavericks, now Yosomite

You can't. Go back to Pages 4 or use another app.


Where exactly have you seen a requirement for these two things for .epub Digital books?

Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply.

Using my pages app I uploaded my paperback book manuscript on CreateSpace. However, the 'interior reviewer' provided by CreateSpace shows all the wording placed centrally instead of showing the wording with 'mirrored margins'.

Re. your suggestion, how can I go back to pages 4, or what other app can you recommend?

Problem Sharing.

I wasted DAYS in pages looking for mirror-margins (or facing pages) for my book manuscript. If you keep your MacBook Pro pages updated it is not there any longer. However, it was in applications - in the old Pages'09 version. Remember the inkwell? Drag the inkwell into your dock and use it from there, but remember to open your manuscripts in the old inkwell version.


Note to Apple: please bring back mirror-margins/facing-pages as we obviously need it!

There usually is at least one post here per day by someone looking for facing pages, or some other missing feature of Pages v5. A search of the Pages support community could have saved you days by revealing that facing pages is absent. A search of: Pages 5 facing pages would have given you an answer.
