If you receive a Pages document from a Mac user you can open it using this tip: Most people choose to set this to a new, blank document.
In future new documents will open in that template. Toggle this one to on, and choose the template you need in the template chooser. Want to get rid of the template chooser when opening a new Pages document? In Pages Preferences>General you can set the For New Documents item to always use a chosen template. Now you can select text elsewhere in your text and tap the Bookmark item to link that text to a specific bookmark.
On iOS: Select the text you want to bookmark, tap the backwards P at the top of the keypad and select the Bookmark item to create the mark. On a Mac: Select text you want to bookmark and select Add Bookmark in Docments>Add Bookmark. This useful feature disappeared from after Pages 09 but is back again: You may want to create bookmarks to help readers navigate through your documents, as a table of contents or to access more information about a certain topic from elsewhere in the tract. Now you can choose to use any image on your system, or choose any item you want (including emojii) from the character pallet. If you like one of these, great – use it – but if you want to use something that is not listed there, just tap inside the field while depressing the Control, Command and Space menu. Now look below for the word ‘Bullet’ which should show a preview of different text or image bullets that are available to you. Choose Image bullets, or Text Bullets in the selection that appears. Tap the right-facing arrow beside Bullets to access more in-depth settings. To achieve this select the text you want to turn into a list and choose Format. When creating a list you can change all sorts of settings, but one of my favorite tricks is to change the bullet image to am emojii or an image from my image library. To customize your Pages toolbar on a Mac just Control-Click on the toolbar to get the Customize Toolbar option. If you use Pages a lot you may want to put the tools you use most often in your toolbar and get rid of those you don’t use much. That’s not so impressive for short reports like this one, but a big bonus when working on a lengthy academic tract. Apple’s pre-created styles may not be quite what you need, but when that document is opened elsewhere the Style information means the document can automatically and quickly be converted to house style. Use Stylesĭo you set headline font size and other in-text features manually? Please stop doing this and use Styles (iOS: Paintbrush>Text Mac: Paintbrush). On a Mac you can enable this feature in the Edit menu. Those three dots at the top right of the Pages window are your route to a host of other useful tools, including the Track Changes item. It’s also worth tapping the word count item as you can then access a bunch of other information, including character count. One more thing: You can move the Word Count item around the screen using your cursor. On iOS you should tap the three dots at top right of the window to access the More menu, where you toggle Word Count to on (green). To do so when working in Pages you need to choose File>View>Show Word Count (Mac). You’ll be taken to a new menu where you can change font size, case, ligatures, and more. On iOS you should select the text whose case you want to change, tap the paintbrush icon, scroll down to the Bold, Itallic, Underline commands and tap the three dots. On a Mac you achieve this using the Edit>Transformations Menu item. You can easily switch selected text between cases (upper case, lower case, capitalized: You can also select Link in the contextual menu around the selected text. On iOS you will get to the insert link tool via the Paragraph (a reverse P) item from top right of the keyboard. On a Mac select the Insert item in the tool bar and choose Link from the dropdown menu. Select the word or words you want to add a link too I remember that when I first started using Pages the process of inserting a hyperlink wasn’t that easy to find, so I thought I’d share it here: #Download pages templates for mac free for free
Apple’s iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) are now available for free to any Mac or iOS user, so I thought it might be good to document some of the lesser known talents of Apple’s now-free word processor app.
