When I try to save the file, an error box says, "The file 'document name' doesn't exist." What can I do to save a file?
I have Pages version 5.6.1. I'm using it on my MacBook Pro (late 2013).
Is my Pages program defected?
Help!

You are signed into your login account, and attempting to save into that account, either on your boot drive, or iCloud Drive : Pages folder — and not attempting to save on a Dropbox folder, or any network attached storage. Correct?
Your home folder is on the boot drive, was not moved, or created on a non-boot drive. Correct?
I had the same problem, same error message.
I solved the problem by using the New Folder option in the save dialog box. Pages saved the new document there.
To solve the further problem of making my existing folders accessible to Pages, I moved my folders so that I could repeat the process to created all the folders (only four, so not too bad) named as I needed. Then I put my documents into the newly created folders.
It would seem that Pages wants to have ownership of the folders into which it will create files.
This has worked well for a week or so.
This was a new hard drive onto which I had set up a new installation of Yosemite, then migrated in documents and settings. Maybe the ownerships and permissions were jumbled up. I did try permissions repair.

Pages won't let me save documents. "The file 'document name' doesn't exist"?
