Removed: Bulleted and numbered listed, unless you type them in as lists from the start. No way to change a non-list into a list.
It's there, you just missed it. Someone else complained about this the day it was released and it took me all of 5 minutes to find it. Format -> Text -> Style -> Bullets. Just select what you want then select the bullet you want. Easy peasy.
I had no problem, just created a table, and dropped in several images; worked as expected.
Mask with shapes other than rectangle
Sure you can. Select image, Format -> Image -> Mask Image with Shape -> Pick shape
Seems like so many people jumping to conclusions, it can't do this, it can't do that, when in fact it is THEM who aren't learning a new software package. Things have changed, they are in different places. I picked a few out of the list of complaints and ALL of them are there. I didn't check every one, many I don't even really know what they are. But so far, much of the things are there, just need to look for them.
OK, even more things :
Were these by default in the old Pages? If not, then they weren't removed.
Accented Characters in Footer
Yes you can, 100%. Just press and hold the character you want to add. Say 'e' with an accent. Just hold the e and a context menu will appear asking which accent you want. Works fine everywhere.
So far I haven't seen them, not sure if they can be turned on or not.
Background Object selectable
Arrange -> Section Masters -> Make Master Objects Selectable
I think you can drop and drag in links. Not sure about bookmarks.
Bullet points in comments
Comments are new, never removed. Thus a feature you'd like.
Not sure what this is, capture pages / sections? If you mean their styles, yes you can. Format -> Character Styles -> Pulldown -> + sign. Not sure why, but doesn't seem to always work but it is supposed to.
See above
Import of older .pages formatting - Not Clean
Most do; guess it depends on the document. I have had zero problems so far.
Nope, can't seem to change it; I guess it's personal opinion, but never have seen the need.
What do you want here?
Yup, couldn't find this one.
Don't have any vCards to try with.
Yup, seem silly this isn't here.
Another issue that is missing, seems like the Page Thumbnail bar isn't up to snuff.
Footnotes? Yes, they are there.
Endnotes : Shift - CMD - E
You can export to .TXT. File -> Export -> Plain Text
Would be nice.
Find & Replace special characters (e.g. paragraph returns)
Oddly enough I could copy a paragraph return and press CMD-F and paste it in and find it, but it didn't show up in the text box for the find. I'm guessing it's an oversight.
No problem dropping and dragging images into tables.
Yup, doesn't seem to be there, but then you'd need a way to export the style.
Didn't seem to find this one either.... might be useful in the footer or something, but generally would it be that useful? I guess it could be.
There, just turn them on.
View -> Show Invisibles
View -> Show Layout
Format Bar -> Style -> Bullets & Lists -> Chose your style. Press the triangle down for more options.
Right, already mentioned a few times.
Mask with shapes other than rectangle
Format -> Image -> Mask Image with Shape -> Pick shape
Mathtype/Grapher Equations/Formulae within Pages
Insert -> Function -> Formula (not 100% sure it is what you want)
Insert -> Math Type Equation (grayed out, not sure why I can't insert one, looks like it is there, just not sure how to use it yet)
Media Inspector links to Aperture Library
Not sure how to do it, I haven't use Aperture yet, but someone else says it is there.
Media Inspector links to iPhoto library on external drive
Not sure if the "on external drive" is the issue; but others say iPhoto library support is there. Clicking the Media button seems to work fine for internal iPhoto libraries.
New feature, not removed.
?
I haven't see this one yet, not sure if it exists. Kinda would be nice to have.
I'm guessing this is a bug; Paste should do this. Paste and Match Style is an option, so far I'm seeing both do the same thing for me.
It seems to work within Pages documents, but I lost the style when going from Safari to pages; but only some times. I'm guessing it has to do wit the website I'm visiting.
Retain zoom level of document
Not having a problem with this.
Agreed, searching should search comments or at least have a check box to allow it.
Meh; was this before?
Not sure what this is for, Searching the Sidebar?
Select all instances of a Style
Could see this being useful.
Select non-contiguous text
For those who use it, it could be useful.
Selective formatting in Character Styles
No reason you can't do this, jus select the characters you want formatted and change their style. Seems to work.
Again not something removed, but something you'd like. Kinda an advanced feature that I don't think many people would be using.
Style Function key shortcuts
Useful? Maybe. Never existed before, so again, not REMOVED.
Could be useful to be expanded. But Format -> Style -> triangle under the format button to expand and change the style. Not as nice as it could be. Although the one for the text boxes is much nicer.
Subscript/superscript buttons
Right, not quick easy button, just click Advanced then baseline and select super/sub script.
Not sure what you want here.
Tables in Headers/Footers
Yup doesn't seem to be there.
Did this ever exist? Is it really that useful for general people's use. If you're going to do something like this just make your tables in Numbers and drop and drag them in.
Same as above, just import CSV files into Numbers, then drag the numbers doc into pages. Works that way.
You can Unite them but doing Format -> Arrange -> Unite; but not quite what you want, you'd like to "Lock" them like you can do images. That would be useful.
??
Help -> Pages Help, brings you to Apple's pages help website, lots of good information there.
Didn't find a way to turn it on.
Word (.DOCX) export to iCloud
iCloud wasn't in previous version, thus not removed.
