I looked; I don't seem to have a disk for it.

Did you look for the right thing? The pre-10.7 distribution was called
"iWork".

The retail box for iWork '09 (the version current as of Snow Leopard)
looked like the one in this picture:

http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB942Z-A-iWork-09/dp/B0014X2UAK/

The DVD has a similar picture on it.

If you really can't find it, buying another one from somewhere like
Amazon is an option.

iWork '09 was also available as part of a "Mac Box Set" (including Mac
OS X and iLife), of which there were a few versions, which looked like
this:

http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Box-Set-10-6-3-Version/dp/B002I0JKE2/

This box contained three smaller carboard envelopes, each with a DVD in
it.

The other option was that you might have had iWork preinstalled when you
bought the old computer. In that case, the iWork install DVD should have
been included in the box with the computer, in a simple envelope (white
square with a round plastic panel through which you can see the DVD).
The DVD itself was the same as the retail one, except that it had "CPU
Drop-in DVD" printed on it (to indicate it was bundled with a computer).

The Font panel remembers recent choices. I believe it is called "Recently
Used".

Of course, the proper "Word Processing" method is to use styles.

For word processing. I get fed up with the number of documents that I
see where the author has used the fucking tab and return keys to lay
the document out. They usually also press the return key 50 times at
the end of the doc, perhaps imagining that it's a typewriter and the
paper will scroll out of the top of their screen. Then they come to me
and ask why, when they print the doc, there's always a blank sheet at
the end.

 Are you referring to the separate window I have to open now instead of

He's talking about the Font Panel window. From the Pages menu bar,
choose Format > Font > Show Fonts. The Font Panel will appear (separate
window). The "Collection" list on the left side of the Font Panel window
will have a "Recently Used" item.

But you can still change font properties in the "Inspector" area of the
Pages main window, as shown here:

<http://tinypic.com/r/11hbi9d/8>

If you do not see the Inspector area, then it is hidden. To show it,
choose View > Inspector > Show Inspector from the Pages menu bar.

I'm not sure you can really be a good judge if you don't even know what
a style is. It's a basic word processing concept that you should learn
about:

I know you have a *lot* of trouble using basic features such as font
settings and so on, and you don't know what styles are. You have a lot
to learn in those areas, and probably others.

Apparently you have forgotten that you wrote this:

"I still have to open a separate window to do ANYTHING to the text. With
the former Pages, I could change font, font size, style, color, and it
kept my most recently-used fonts at the top of the font list, all of
this in that menu in the window where they've now put things from the
pull-down menu above the document, where the features they took out do
not even exist any more."

And I already explained how you can access font, size, color, and so on
in the main Pages window. This conversation is taking on a definite
circular shape...

A separate window in front of my document is still a separate window. 
That's not the main window.

Helping you is like pulling teeth! It borders on an exercise in
futility.

Please PAY ATTENTION this time. In particular look at the screen shot I
included, which clearly shows *font* settings in the *main* window!:

What version of Pages are you using? I am running 5.5.2, the latest,
under Yosemite. You can change fonts two ways:

1. View Menu -> Inspector -> Show Inspector gives you the Inspector
panel on the right side, which contains menus for changing fonts, font
sizes, character styles, etc. in the "Text" panel.

2. Format Menu -> Show Fonts brings a separate window for changing
font, font sizes, etc.

There is no need to open another app. I think you are referring to
opening another window or panel within the Pages application.

As far as Templates go, I haven't tried to create any of my own. How is
Pages not keeping your templates properly? Details are needed to help
you.

Fonts is a choice at the top, too, but it opens another window and is
otherwise useless for my purpose.

Get info on one of the files.  Choose Preview (or whatever your new app
of choice is) from the "Open with:" popup menu.  Click the "Change
all..." button.  Click the "Continue" button in the confirmation

Commenting here because it's a short one 8-)

OK, I have the most of the .jpg files opening in Preview. However, I looked
at its "editing" options and decided they were basically useless. New
iPhoto is better but still inadequate. GraphicConverter is not bad, but
none will, as far as I can see, let me put together a multi-foto page and
add text where I want it that will stay put(unlike Pages).  

Thanks to everyone who told me the same thing I was missing 8-). I'll just
have to keep putting album pages together on the old laptop and archiving
on the new one for now. There I can do it all in one program instead of
jumping back and forth between two or three.
