How to view multiple pages within the same document

I would like to know how to view multiple pages within one document. I know the "thumbnail function" but what I'm looking for is something similar as the feature in Word. When you unzoom (let's say 25%) in Word you're able to see multiple pages which allow you to select them at once or verify in an easy way the consistency of a page layout throughout a document. Thanks in advance for your answer and sorry if this topic has already been treated.

Hi Almer,


I'm assuming you want to see something like this:

User uploaded file

This was produced in Pages 4.3 (Pages '09) using 25% zoom and 2 up layout of the pages on the screen.

2 up display (and layouts for Facing Pages) are two of the more than 100 features of Pages '09 that were not included inPages 5 and Pages 6.

The closest you can get to the example above in the newer versions is a 25% zoom and a 1 up layout.

User uploaded file

Same text, similar 'pictures' as seen in Pages 5.6.2 at 25% zoom. No provision for other than a 1 up layout. To request this feature be included in Pages, please Provide Pages Feedback using the menu item of that name in the Pages menu in Pages.


Regards,

Barry

You haven't said what version of Pages.


Look on the top left of the toolbar and there is a Zoom field. Click on that and reduce that to 25%.


or


click on the right margin of the Thumbnails Sidebar and drag that to the right as far as you can go.


At largest extent in Pages 5 or 6 the thumbnails are approx 30% size.


In Pages '09 it goes up to a quite readable 60%
