Wow. This is a a Masterclass in presenting useful information brilliantly. Not a word wasted. Awesome.
Truly thought it would be completely too complicated for this old lady. Turns out I understand as long as I slow down the play speed 😂 thank you.
Agreed! Helpful, but he does speak rather fast
How do I slow the talking down, thanks
@@lynneturcotte5862 If you haven't already gotten the answer, it is in the *gear Icon* at the bottom, clicking on it should give you a pop-up menu with subtitles, PLAYBACK SPEED, and Quality. You can slow down OR speed up video incrementally. Very useful.
Coming from a PC and new to Mac. This was a HUGE help!
This is wonderful. Have used Adobe InDesign for 40+ years, but am helping a friend who is using Pages and I knew nothing about it. Going through Apple instructions was useless to me, I have to see where things are. This was absolutely perfect. THANK YOU!
Apple actually has never made ‘instructions’ for its pro apps. Rather, app Help is well designed to answer specific questions as the user runs into the inevitable dead ends. At first, I also felt frustrated by that approach, but now that I’ve run into scores of those dead ends, I feel the solutions that Help offers are a better way to go.
The only thing Apple could do better is to make those solutions contextual popups within one’s own document. That approach, in fact, would be welcome in all complex apps as the solution right there IN the challenge really sticks better in my mind.
I converted from Windows to Mac 10 months ago. I have been struggling to work with Pages all this time. I just learned so much that will be helpful. Thank You!
Thank you for explaining the basics it’s pretty straight forward and makes sense.
That was very helpful. I never knew the update button was so helpful.
im 27 years old and this video taught me to use pages. Thanks for this!!
This is enormously useful, thank you! I'm in the process of moving away from MS Office, and am learning more about Apple software each day. I'd appreciate seeing something similar for Apple Numbers. Thank you again.
Damn Gary, I don't know how you do it. So much killer info in just 5 minutes. Thanks for this.
I’ve used iPages for a while but this tutorial showed me several things that were so helpful. Thanks for your concise presentation
Styles in Pages are brilliantly implemented. I’ve never been able to grasp how they work in Word.
Ok, the go to document creator has usually been Word, Libre, etc. This video has shown a lot that Pages can do. Thank you!
I need to buck up to your Patrion, you free information has been so insightful. Thankyou
Beautifully explained - clear, succinct, relevant and useful.
Fantastic whistle-stop tour! Yes, Gary, when you say at the end that you have a ton of video tutorials to help us get the most out of Pages, that's absolutely right. And I'd also like to mention your fabulous Course on Pages-as a former Word user, I learnt a massive amount from that course, which was totally worth doing and is still a valuable resource that I come back to whenever I need a refresher on any aspect of the app.
There is a COURSE on Pages? I am now intereted...!
A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏❤️
Your clarity of explaining is just gorgeous!
Also I wonder why I never knew about so many things my Mac can do. Who reads a manual these days? We watch videos...
The reason I come to macmost first. Quick and easy! Thank you!
HI es, Gary, when you say at the end that you have a ton of video tutorials to help us get the most out of Pages, that's absolutely right.
SO happy I found this. Wish I saw this 6 months ago!
Really nice video. Of course I took the MacMost Pages class which was great! This was an excellent reminder of the functionality of Styles.
Awesome and as always brilliant! my fav "GO TO " channel to keep learning MAC stuff !
YOU ARE AWESOME!! 😃 I just found your tutorials on Pages and just Thank You so much!
Nice and straightforward. Thanks for this, I think Pages is more advanced than Word…my opinion of course
That was incredibly efficient! Thank you!
This was an amazing tutorial! I just might love Pages after your videos. Thanks.
Loved it, Gary!
Thank you so much 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The best tutorials on Mac
Mac Most is the most! Thanks Gary!
Pages is one of Apple’s great accomplishments. The moment the penny dropped for me was when I realized how many jobs of mine could be accomplished not only best but also easiest, in Pages. I have written and published technical manuals, made notes for everything from shopping to coding, posted illustrated comments for Twitter and working tutorials for my staff, and made build plans for every conceivable job.
For the most part, its complex tools are easy to access, making all these jobs a relative breeze. Bringing outside elements into a Pages document is one of its standout features, so easy you’ll feel like you’re missing something. There is room for improvement in the area of cataloguing custom images and I wouldn’t mind a bit of macros capability.
Excellent. I have been using Pages for years and still learned a lot!
Mind blown! Awesome tutorial, fast and easy to understand. Amazing!😊
I'm so happy I found this video, Gary. I have been struggling to achieve in Google Office what you have demonstrated I can achieve in Pages in just a couple of clicks! Looking forward to watching the rest of your content. Liked and subscribed.
Life Saver. Just started. So grateful. Converting Word manuscript. Wow
wow! short and to the point. I like this video! thank you.
Great tutorial, thanks Gary!
Wow !! Awesome explanation. Thanks a ton. Extremely helpful !!😊
Great information! Thank you!
Brilliant, many thanks.
Great tutorial ~ TY it is awesome 💯
It is written it's like Keynote but in portrait whereas keynote is landscape. Also noticed Keynote is made for presentations, slides, but they seem very similar in functionality. I love the various figures and the ability to edit them. Super convenient feature.
I didn’t realise Pages was so good.
Excellent. Thank you
Wow…! very useful and informative video tutorial, I have learnt a lot in 5min 30sec…😃🙌🏽
I've been using Pages for yeeears, and never knew what the Update button was for! This tutorial was quick and awesome!
Thanks Gary. I *love* Pages.
Excellent! Thanks
Thank you that really helped
Another excellent tutorial.
That was so helpfull. Thanks!
Thanks man, I’m a new mac user from windows, i need that video!!!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!
When I read the subject line to this video I laughed and said to my wife, "Five minutes! Heck I’ve been using Pages for five years and I still can't figure most it out! But I watched it anyway because if anybody could explain Pages in five minutes my bet would be on Gary. Sure enough this brief video solved problems I've had with Pages ever since I began using it! I find myself wondering why Apple has been keeping all this secret for all these years? Maybe Tim Cook is a Microsoft Word user? Thanks Gary!
Thank you so much.😃
I subscribe to a system for spreadsheets and word processing (guess which!)). But quite a while ago, I started using Pages regularly. The "other" will print envelopes, but it is so much easier with Pages (too bad I got a new Canon printer which refuses to print, for example, DL envelopes but that's not Pages' fault). It is much easier for me to use intuition with Pages than with the "other". Many thanks again.
Excellent intro to using Pages. I now know more than I did in the years of using a Mac. lol
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you very much. I was almost going to buy Office 2021 but now I can give pages a try.
great help
wow that's clearly, thank you!!!!
Thank you
Excellent
Nice, thanks
This guy is good!!!
it's simple and very helpfull
thanks its very helpful......
amazing 5 minutes of my life..!!
Thanks bunches
A masterclass in teaching and pages too , well done, so exact and clear in every part, well done .
Now I understand what that 'update' button is for. It's much easier that what I have been doing all this time.
A suggestion, perhaps you could show us how to letterhead template using Pages because this is one of the most difficult for Windows users when they switch to Pages.

I thought I knew Pages. Great job explaining
AWESOME! I am cancelling my subscription to Microsoft office right now! Thank you! You are amazing!
ty g
Gracias
Pages looks very user-friendly
Nicely explained. Thank you, Gary. How do I determine which is the most current version of the PAGES documents for editing content?
What's the situation? Why do you have two versions at all?
Short but to the point.
Genius
Thank you I love your quick tips on using Mac. Can you tell me why my file will not print with my image on the page?
Sorry, I don't know what could be wrong. Does it print if you remove the image? Try maybe compressing the image in Preview and using a smaller version then?
This is great. Do you have any other tutorials that go into more detail on using Pages? I don't know why my images get thrown around into strange places whenever I edit the text.
Tons of tutorials on Pages, including how to work with images. Search this channel or my site for them.
love your vid. How do I upload fonts to ms word on my imac
Fonts don't belong to just one app. You add fonts to your system or user account using the Font Book app. You can just download a font and drag and drop it in.
Wow, I loved this. Have you also done a 5 minute "blitz" for Numbers?
Not yet. Harder to do because not everyone uses spreadsheets the same way for the same things.
@@macmost Early in the video you said there are two modes for using Pages. How do you select them.
I do not use Pages as I have had a difficult time understanding how to use it (after years of using MS Office). I have defaulted to Libre Office. Do you have any other tutorials for Pages?
@@blkbass See th-cam.com/video/FvnO9bsV70w/w-d-xo.html
Another great dictatorial, Gary. Why when I open the pages app most of my documents are greyed out?
Hi I got question. I am using my Pages as a songbook, where I typed all my song lyrics, but I got problem, trying to make group of songs, for concert to change songs easily but looks like apple pages doesn’t have option where you can make groups. Is there any advice maybe I can use Apple shortcuts to program something like that.
Not sure what you mean by groups in this context. Do you mean each song is in its own file, but you want to view them together as one document? Not sure how to best do that. Just have to open each file as needed.
I write a monthly newsletter dealing with family history, which is distributed locally. I like to include a link or two to each subject. I highlight to make them links, then highlight them using Insert>Highlight. They show up on the screen as yellow links, but they never print out yellow. The link feature is still attached, just not in the highlighted yellow. I'm using Pages on my 2-year-old Mac Mini, with an HP Officejet Pro 8620. If this is something I'm doing wrong in Pages, please instruct me. If this is a printer problem, let me know and I'll contact HP. Thanks so much!!!
Hey is there a way to auto format multiple entries in my document? I have thousands of Chapters that need to be formatted specifically as a Chapter to show up properly when I send it to Apple Books… right now I’m fixing it one by one. Feels like there should be a faster way. Is “format all” a thing?
You want to use Styles for that. It is exactly what they are meant for. th-cam.com/video/7t9A_sYkAEY/w-d-xo.html
When I print a document from a website called Musicnotes which sells sheet music, my MacBook Pro chops off the title of the page. I have to use a work-around to get it all on one sheet of paper. I change the settings to 8 1/2 x 13 and print it on that size paper. Then I actually trim the paper on the top and make a copy. I get enough of it on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper to make it look reasonably right. I shouldn't have to do this. I don't have this problem with any other documents. I am using Safari but Musicnotes does not stipulate any conditions to print this. In fact, the Preview show it correctly until I get to the Mac Printer dialogue box. Then it show it with the top chopped off. Any suggestions?
Try printing in Preview but set it to 95% or something similar.
Yes, great class. One problem is that my Pages does not update without an asterisk -- and if I change the font size from 14 pt to 12 pt , it creates another style with an asterisk. While I've learned out to delete certain styles I don't want, it often asks, "The style you want to delete is used in the document. Choose a style to replace it." Then I'm stumped as to what to pick. Any thoughts?
Not sure what you are dealing with there, sorry. If there is no asterisk, then it doesn't see a difference so there is no Update button.
How about a TH-cam video like this for Keynote and Numbers? I would *love* that! 🤩
I did Keynote before: th-cam.com/video/jUJNCun2ccg/w-d-xo.html Not sure if I will do Numbers. It would have to be a "How to use Numbers for only one very specific thing" video as you can use Numbers for so much.
@@macmost The Keynote one is a bit outdated. A new replacement for that video would be nice. 🙂
@@nicholashunt5230 How so? It is from 2020. That's not that old.
@@macmost It was before macOS Big Sur pretty much overhauled the entire visuals of the operating system. Besides, the quality of your videos has improved significantly since then.
Professor:
I’m hoping you (or anyone) can answer this question about pages - and I swear you have addressed this somewhere before.
When I paste text from another source into Pages, isn’t there a setting in Pages so that the text automatically conforms to the font style / size presently being used in the Pages document?
Thanks in advance and thank you, as always, for this presentation.
Edit, Paste and Match Style.
@@macmost Thanks, Prof.
How can I change the margins inside a bordered paragraph in iPages. One side is too close to the edge and the paragraph is not centered inside the border
Is there a way to make a check list using bullet points, so you can check off the bullets? Thanks
In the doc, or on a printed page? For printing, just use a bullet character that is a box of some kind. For in the doc, Pages isn't meant for that. Use Notes or Reminders for that.
Thanks, Gary. Clear and concise as usual.
My publisher wants my book as a pdf on 6" x 9" paper.
I've been unable to find settings for paper size.
Can you or someone set me straight?
Thanks.
File > Page Setup
@@sundaynightdrunk Well, that was simple. Thanks.
File, Page Setup. Choose a Paper Size or you can create a custom one in there.
@@macmost Thank you Gary!👌
I’m having trouble when I try to go into a past saved pages doc to edit. It’s not saving my changes. Any suggestions? Please and thank you
How many GB would you recommend the iPad contain
The iPad? What iPad? Sorry, I'm missing some context here. This is a video about using Pages on a Mac.
Is there a way to add code snippets (special formatting) to pages? Other word processing apps has it.
There's no specific function for that.
For some reason I don't the Advanced options button when I want to export it as a Word file. Could you help me please?
Page and Number I have to know more :)
