Then WWWHHHYYY does it ALLOW me to MAKE those documents so large.
It's Clearly NOT just a simple document maker for typewritten like pages, there are oodles of premade, VERY, VERY graphically oriented templates to make very nice, very fancy poster like documents, that-- Do all fit on a single sheet of paper.
There are NO premade templates for larger than single sheet documents, BUT... IT IS VERY EASY to make them larger, AND save those larger formats and add those to your own template library.
The FACT that it DOES do this with Numbers, allows that whoever made this, saw the need to make larger than one sheet documents, So WWWHHHYYY didn't they include that bit of code into Pages...???
Because they're pinheads.
IT JUST MAKES ME TOTALLY FAWKING CRAZY...!!! CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY...!!! CCCRRRAAAZZZYYYY!!! CRAZY AND CRAZY, CRAZY THEN MORE CRAZY...!!!
...When so many of you hamsters defend bad programming or lame features, or broken hardware or stupid interfaces...
What is the point? Do you actually think that you're going to change my opinion? No. You are just allowing people that read this board to KNOW that you have ZERO Credibility.
I DO NOT MIND if anyone thinks that I HAVE Zero Credibility, i don't post advice here VERY STINKING DAY...!!!
But for those of you that do, Having the readers take a moment to add a grain of salt to every post that they read from you...
As opposed to simply taking your word as Gospel, Because all your responses are so sensible, unbiased and functional..
It's tedious.
It would be so much easier, if, when someone posts, noting some lame or idiotic feature or bug that they've found, and it is obvious accurate, That you simple agree with them. The End. Next.

One problem that i DO think is my printers fault, is that Pages allows me to make a custom sized page, smaller than, or narrower than 8 1/2 inches, but very long...! and i just can't seem to get that to work either...???
i am perfectly willing to kludge together a solution to create a final product, but in these two cases, no amount of kludging will work. ( allowing for TaliesinSoft's weird, piece by piece solution... ! )
