Pages cannot handle pamphlets?
Is Pages incapable of laying out and printing a simple 8.5" x 5.5" pamphlet?
All I want to do is create and print an 8 page 8.5" x 5.5" pamphlet, using 4 8.8 x 11 double sided sheets of paper folded in the middle. I can't find a way to do that in Pages -- Am I missing somthing or do I need to use another program?

Just click in the margin to shift away focus from the default, linear type-as-you-go model and drop in a text box (Insert > Text).
You can flow text by clicking on the little blue handle that appears on text boxes w/ overflow (plus signs). And of course drag text boxes around to make a pamphlet or what you wish to your heart's content.
Pretty crude -- it's not a tenth of Indesign -- but I'd imagine it works well enough for fairly simple purposes.

Pages also doesn't quite "get" normal line spacing... it's version of single space looks like double spaced.
I had this trouble with the last document I started. If you select all and select the "blank" template (yes, I know that is where you probably started), it will go back to the single spacing you expect.
Incidentally, the mode in which the single space looks like double space will go to single space mode within a paragraph.
I hope that they add imposition features to a future version of Pages.
