Thanks Gary. I've always liked the way Pages handles paragraph numbering. I used to spend what seemed like hours trying to get MS Word to properly number paras in a lengthy document before. But for some while now if I need to produce a document in Word format with anything more than the simplest of paragraph numbers I create it in Pages and save it as a Word document.
Gary, it is not what I want, it is what is best for you and all the others. I am subscribed to over 100 TH-camrs like you. If I and hundreds of others don't get the notifications they, as well as me, will miss many videos. if you don't care then no problem. My purpose was only to let you know what is happening which I assume you did not know. Most1 just tole me thanks for the information.
Thank you! The only thing you didn't cover in this is how you can change the type of numbering that is displayed at each hierarchy (like the default Harvard one does) at different indent levels. (But I figured it out by using what you showed in this video and playing with it a bit. ;-) )
I've been waiting for this video! So I followed your instruction and it worked perfectly. Opened up a new file and the custom body and bullet list were gone! Can you save these custom settings permanently Gary? Is there some way to save the settings as a template? As always, thanks for helping.
Hello Gary, there is any way to create a new format bullet but with Text, I have a document I did in Word that I want to redo in Pages, but In Word I create a bullet list with a word. instead of a number list, I create a word list like Art 1. (article 1). then I put the title of the article, and when I hit enter It appears Art. 2, Art. 3, etc. - there is any way to do this in pages?
What if you want different styeles for different levels of headings? E.g., Heading 1 is 18 pt, Heading 2 is 15 pt and Heading 3 is 12 pt. I seem unable to get these different styles to inherit their numbering from their parent/previous heading.
Great videos! I used to use Word, but since Pages is free am using it now. What are your thoughts between the two? I feel Pages meets my needs, but Word may have more options.
I have several different "Heading" in my document. How do I get that "Heading" to insert into the header on the page. For example pages 1 - 3 are under the "Heading" - Work while pages 4 - 7 are under the "heading" - Play. So I want pages to auto insert in the middle section of pages 1 -3 "Work" and in the middle section of pages 4-7 "Play" Thanks I didn't know which youtube video to ask this question.
Thanks for such great tutorials, I am starting to create a book in Pages and didn't use this program very often. Is there a way to create a footer with the page number on the first page of a section, but not a header? They seem to stick together turning on or off.
Seems as if it is impossible to start a heading with 1.1? I have a Module 1: Dismissals. I would then like to go to 1.1 Fair reasons for dismissal. Impossible! (I could do it in Word, but not Pages)
@@macmost Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I need to include "Module", and not only 1, but yes, your suggestion is the only workable solution.

Thank you. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
WOW!! You’re a lifesaver. Thanks so much, mate.
This way the TOC will also be organised automatically.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you
OMG. Thank you! It was driving me nuts not being able to do this!
Thanks for the reply.
Thanks 🙏❤️😻
Thank you, I save me 😁
Thanks bunches
Thank you for this brilliant tutorial. Your help is invaluable!
Thanks man. This video made my day. 🙏

I'll probably never use this, but I'm pleased to have this 'How To' handy, just in case. Thanks!
This is SUPER!! Thanks very much. Do you think that will be an update to Pages to make this any easier?

I do this frequently. It could sure be easier

You could always copy and paste from another document, or create a template that is bare-bones and uses this for future documents.
Go to "file" and then "save as template". When you want to create a new document, just go to "file", and click on "my templates".
Thank you so much!! Muchas gracias, me ha sido de muchísima ayuda
Great tip! 👍👍
Clever

What about creating a table of contents with this numbered text!

I feel Pages meets my needs, but Word may have more options.
Word is definitely more powerful, but few people use those extra tools it has. If Pages works for you, then keep using Pages.
Is there a way to start a pages number list with a 2 number scheme, say 4.1?
hey, can you help? Why do i cant continue my tiered number list (1,2,3,4) after romans (i,ii,iii,iv)???

I don't think you can do it automatically. You'd need to create sections and then change the header for each section.
Thanks for such great tutorials, I am starting to create a book in Pages and didn't use this program very often. Is there a way to create a footer with the page number on the first page of a section, but not a header? They seem to stick together turning on or off.
Just don't put anything in the header. Leave it blank.
@@macmost ah right, and again place a section break below this for the next page that does need that header and footer. Thanks!
Very helpful, thanks. Would be nice if Mac would provide a template for this :)
How to create even and odd in pages
Great video, but is it possible to start the numbering like this: "1.1"? Thanks!
I think so. Try it.
@@macmost well I tried, but the thing is, since “1.” is the first, deleting it also deletes “1.1”
Can you retain these styles in your set of Pages defaults, or would you have to make a template?
Defaults like this are stored in Templates, not universal to the entire app. So you'd make a template, yes.
@@macmost Thanks.
Seems as if it is impossible to start a heading with 1.1? I have a Module 1: Dismissals. I would then like to go to 1.1 Fair reasons for dismissal. Impossible! (I could do it in Word, but not Pages)
You can have 1. Dismissals and then the next like 1.1 Fair Reasons.... That's the Tiered option.
@@macmost Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I need to include "Module", and not only 1, but yes, your suggestion is the only workable solution.
how can i save to pdf with png background?
From Pages? You can put a background on any page and then export to PDF. Can be PNG or anything.
