If you are using a word processing document, it should automatically go to a 2nd page.

pages in my iwork automatically goes to the next page. Don't know what is wrong.

Gee wiz! I will have to take a closer look at it...

Click Insert from top menu, choose Pages and select the template style you want on your new page.

It isn't very intuitive.

When I started, I just chose the blank page and went from there...I will have to go back and see what i did

I am working with date in a table and I can't highlight all the fields like in Word...only one cell at a time...oy...wasting time over here

you add a page the same way with the blank page template. You just don't have to choose the page styles or as many. There are two choices.

If you keep your Inspector window open, you can move easily between table and rest of doc - you should've been able to select all

Thank you for all of your feedback. It seems that I failed to select "word processing" and just got the blank document that did not behave
