Pages is a streamlined, yet powerful word-
processing application you use to easily create
great-looking documents, from a letter, flyer, or
poster to a monthly newsletter or three-panel
brochure. This preface provides an overview of the
features of Pages and a list of resources for learning
to use it.
Pages makes it easy to compose and design a variety of documents on your
computer. With the Pages tools, you can easily change the layout and look of any
document as you work. Present your data using any of the tables or charts built right
into Pages. Incorporate a multitude of text and graphics types—you can even include
movies and hyperlinks.
And when you’re ready to share your Pages document, it can be exported to several
different file types, including HTML, PDF, and Microsoft Word.
Pages Features at a Glance
Use Pages templates, styles, and layout capabilities to create compelling documents
and enjoy doing it.

Media-Rich Templates
Using the templates that come with Pages, it’s easy to create professional-looking
documents. You can even create your own templates to suit your specific needs.
Use the toolbar buttons
to format pages and text
as you type.
Add graphics with
drag-and-drop ease.
Insert text callouts, tables,
and other formatted
elements on the fly.
Insert multiple-column
layouts.

8 Preface Welcome to Pages
Each template includes building blocks (known as sections) that help you build a full
document. Choose from a selection of layouts, professionally designed for maximum
visual impact. All the template components—text, images, tables, charts, and more—
are coordinated to ensure that your documents reflect a precise and professional
image.
Pages comes with a large assortment of templates: newsletters, journals, flyers and
posters, invitations, stationery, resumes, business and creative templates, and
templates to use for education and marketing documents.
You can also use the designs and elements in these templates to enhance your
documents by copying and pasting bullets, chart styles, and background images. Or
you can create your own templates and share them with your colleagues.

Preface Welcome to Pages 9
Styles Done Right
Just type into the templates and predefined, coordinated styles are automatically used
to format paragraphs, characters, and numbered or bulleted lists. You can also select
different styles, or create your own.
Use the Styles menu to apply
consistent text formatting in
your document.
Bring in photos from
iPhoto using the
Media Browser.
