P ages offers a comprehensive set of features. You can use it to create stunning documents containing charts, pictures, shapes, tables and even videos as well as text. You can flow text around objects for that professional look, and there’s a huge range of templates to choose from.
1 Using templates
When you open a new document from the File menu or by pressing Cmd+N, you’re offered a choice of templates. If you want to proceed without using a template, choose one of the ‘blank’ options. It’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the templates. Starting with one and changing its text and graphics is much easier than starting from scratch, and playing with the templates helps familiarise yourself with what the app can do.
2 Changing the fonts
In the Pages right-hand sidebar, click the Format button in the top-right section of the toolbar for the text tools, then click the Style tab. Use this to style your text. The Font section uses pulldown menus to change the font, choose from variations on the font (usually Regular by default) and the arrows let you change the point size. Or doubleclick on the window showing the point size and type it in.
