When Microsoft informed me that my version of Office was no longer upgradeable and that I needed to purchase an annual subscription in order to continue using their products, I decided to discontinue using their products altogether. Though hesitant at first, I began the switch over to Apple’s native apps, i.e. Pages and Numbers. After converting many of my documents and moving on from Microsoft, I’m pleased to say that I haven’t experienced any major hiccups - simply a matter of getting used to a different UI. That said, I really appreciate these tutorials which unveil the real power of Apple’s native apps and how to get the “Most” out of them. Thank you, Gary!📚
justsendit Have always worked with iWork on both MAC and iOS/iPad OS. Ofttimes save documents in Word or Xcel, and email them. Also, iWork does a great job at opening Office docs (not vice-versa). You get the occasional mention a font has been changed sightly, but nothing major. Always great tips here from Gary.
Pages and Keynote are a bless to use, once you learn where things are, you notice how much better and less cluttered these applications are. At least in my case, I haven't found anything in MS Office that I couldn't do on iWork (actually, it's the other way around, whn I use Word and Powerpoint I usually miss some features)
This is a great video. I’ve been using Pages extensively for many years and picked up a number of useful tips. Thanks Gary.
Watching this again. I am blown away by all I can do with this! Your info is fantastic. Your diction is wonderful; it is simply so fast I have to watch over and over. But, you are worth it! Thanks so very much!! Joseph
Kudos for another awesome tutorial!! I’ve been using Pages for years and there were things here I didn’t know about. 👏🏽
Outstanding video. Thanks so much for some very useful tips.
I love your teaching style Sir. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
Wow. Thanks SO MUCH for this. I do wish I didn't have to pause so much; you know what you are talking about; I do not. STILL this is great! You seem to be the only person telling HOW to use Pages-not simply telling WHAT IT DOES. THANKS!! I will subscribe!
Appreciate how concise this was!!
Fantastic! Love your tips! tqsm.
Well done, excellent tips!
Thanks! This was very helpful
Brilliant. Your videos are amazing...so useful :)
This is quite interesting and useful. Thank you!
Wow really interesting tips, normally I find so basic tips but this one is really interesting
I'm new to Pages and started writing a script using Pages. I'm impressed so far and these tips are helpful for a newcomer like me.
Glad I saw your comment, Darryl. I am beginning to write stories. I have a beginner's knowledge of my Apple Mac Air. But, Pages is what I want to have control over more than anything else there. Fonts, spacing, indenting, page #, moving texts, etc. Did you use any source to gain control of these features for your writing? Or did you already know the "language"? Thanks, Joseph
As the Oz Scarecrow said, " OH JOY! RAPTURE!!!" You are the teacher I need. I see all the other Apple tutorials you have. I wish you spoke a little more slowly. But, I am HAPPY to pause and go back! Thank you!!! Joseph
Super video❗️👍✅
Thanks bro
Merci🍁
Hi Gary, good stuff thanks for sharing! I am trying to build a case study document but I am having a problem adding a page. it adds the page in the middle of page 1 instead of just giving me a new page. I try moving the cursor to the bottom of the page but then the '+page' feature is disabled. tried to add a section break but that did not help. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Hey Gary have you made a video that explains how we can with the background of iWork Apps, especially Pages to Black and use it in dark mode? Thanx...
Just found you. Yea!!!!
my old IMac was from 2009, so I bot a new MacAir. I had files transferred over to the MacAir. I cannot edit my old microsoft word documents on my new MacAir. Is there a way I can edit my old manuscripts originally written in microsoft Word?
Does a company other than Apple offer/sell additional Pages templates?
Gary it would be so helpful for me being an old guy and all to slow down your speaking so I can keep up with you
I have a note about that here: macmost.com/about Remember, you can always use the pause button 😀
I teach an Excel class at work using TH-cam videos and some of my colleagues also complain about the pace of the videos. My recommendation to them was to watch the video through once, without trying to do any of the actions. Then watch it again and pause at different spots and try to do some of the actions demonstrated. It may seem to take longer (not sure if it really is), but your comprehension will be better. This follows how I also teach someone on a computer: The first time I just demonstrate and explain what I am doing. Then I have the student do the action as I am talking them through it. Then I ask them to do it again, and I only talk if they make a mistake.
@@patrickmcgill3542 thanks for the tips
Adjust the playback speed! Tap the 3 stacked ellipses (dots), then tap playback speed and pick something less than 1.
I'm with you, I simply ,as a beginner can't take notes as rapidly as he's speaking
Hi Gary. How did you select non-contiguous text? Thanks for all the tips.
You can't. What is your goal? You can use paragraph and character styling to indicate special types of text (titles, captions, glossary words, etc) and then update their styles at once -- if that is the sort of thing you are looking to do.
@@macmost I miss that function in Keynote, especially when I make subpoints - since the subpoints don’t «autoformat to sublevel 2 style» like in Powerpoint.
How to I keep the recording I made in my pages? I hit record to my pages and exported it as a PDF. I emailed it to myself and the recording is not present in the PDF, but it is also NOT present in an email doc that was in pages..it is only there as long as I don't email it out.
Great stuff as usual Gary! I have a question about tables in Pages. Is there a way to prevent a table from expanding beyond a certain size and actually be scrollable?
For instance...In a Pages document, I have a paragraph talking about different types of images you should include on your Google My Business listing. Below that paragraph, I want to put a table with 4 columns and 5 rows, so it will fit on the rest of the page. However, I actually need to have 9 rows in that table, but only 5 can fit on the page. Is there a way to lock the size and only show the 5x4 table and have it scrollable so you can scroll through all 9 rows? I've tried everything I can think of, with no luck. Thanks for any help you can give me!!!
No, because the result of a Pages document is either a printout or a PDF. And neither support a scrolling table like that. So the solution would be to break the table into two parts, one on one page and on on the other. Or, have it be one table on the next page where it will fit.
Okay...thanks!
Hey brother. I have a question about how to do a vignette around an image in pages. Do you know how to do that? I have a document in which I designed a collage of faces and I remember there being a vignette frame under the styles tab. Does that functionality still exist in Pages?
I could send you the doc if you would be willing to look at it.
I can't recall any Vignette option in Pages. But you can easily do that in Photos and then export the image with the Vignette applied.
Wow.. I have the first like and comment 🤣
Gary, I have a document with several jpg images that someone else has placed in the document and they are not corrected named. I want to rename them, so I drag them out the document, rename them, then replace them in the document after renaming, but the name does not change it stays as the original name and not my amended new name? Is there a fix for this?
What do you mean by "name?" Do you mean the caption or title? You can just edit those. Or do you mean the name that appears when you look at information in the sidebar? That name doesn't appear in the document anywhere so you don't need to worry about that.
@@macmost Sorry I may not have explained correctly. It is the name of the file in the side bar on the right. eg the image may be call xyzabc.jpg I drag it out to my desktop and rename it cat.jpg . If I use the replace function or if I delete the image in the document and drag the newly named same image into the document, the side bar file name still remains as xyzabc.jpg.
@@ozeestar1 Right. But that name isn't seen on any printed document, PDF, Epub or anything else that Pages produces. So why does it matter?
Wow, I can’t take all that in watching a video. Is there any way I can get a transcript so I can follow these tips slowly at my own pace?
Thomas Kember check this link: macmost.com/17-pages-for-mac-tips.html
It is also in the video description.
Yes, I include a transcript under the video at the site. But for things like this video, I would just listen for something you would actually use, and then pause the video to try it out.
Yes that is what I have been doing, but it is rather awkward flipping from one window to another. A hard copy of the actions to be done would help a great deal.
Thanks, Thomas! I actually screamed at him to slow the fuck down! He is wonderful, and this is the info I need. But, even in pausing there is too much running over words, and the inserts are gone before I can see them! I really like this guy and want to continue. I thought I was the only one.
Hello sir, I would like to ask you about how to add page border line in Pages?
Add a box shape, set it to the border and fill you want, move it behind everything.
macmostvideo is it possible to add pages border after setting all documents?
@@snowboy6105 Not sure what you mean. You'd need to go to each document and add a border to the pages you want, or to the Section Master to add to all the pages in that Section. If you want, you can create your own template that already has this so you can easily start a new document with this in place.
macmostvideo yes I like to add border lines for full documents
How did you learn all this, Gary?!

Gary, I tried to make a new character style for highlight but when I hit the + button, it doesn't let me add ANYTHING. its grayed out and clicking it produces nothing. please help??
Do you have some text selected? You need to have exactly the text selected that uses the style. Maybe you have too little (0 characters) or too much (multiple styles).
@@macmost hello! I have quite a lot of text selected, in one single style. thhe 'highlight style' shows up on the 'style' button at the top but simply doesnt show up in the 'character style' button. clicking the + yields nothing?
@@hakuhaiku1029 You should have very little text selected. Select only a few characters, all in the same paragraph and all of the same exact style. Then you can assign a new character style with that.
@@macmost I seleccted a single text and viola it worked!! thank you! I added F1 as shortcut, but when I click F1 I just get the deafult 'keyboard brightness,' and doesnt let me apply the highlight. how can I change that? thank you again
@@hakuhaiku1029 If you are getting the brightness adjustment, then you have your System Preferences set to that. You then have to add the "fn" key to get that top row of keys to act as F1, F2, etc. See th-cam.com/video/LjgNJuxboRs/w-d-xo.html
Could You show how to do a "double justification" in Pages ? This means the Line in a paragraph is justified to the left side as well as to the right side. Making the Paragraph look like a rectangle Box. It forces the single words with spacings in-between, to be placed in sich a way, so that the each line fills the distance from left to right side completely. No one speaks about this or shows this, yet it is used in every newspaper.
This is just one of the 4 justification options. Look in the right sidebar under Format, Style and you'll see a set of four buttons with icons in them. Under Text Color. They are left, center, right, both for justification.
@@macmost That does NOT work at all actually,... it alligns the lines to the left side instead of doing a blocktext ...
Let me be more precise: Let us say I have 3 phrases. Each Phrase must remain completely on its own line. So you end up with 3 lines, and each line has a phrase. Now You want to stretch each of these 3 lines , so to be aligned right and left side at the same time, "WITHOUT!" that a word from a line is being moved to the next line. So again: Phrase number one must remain on line one. Phrase number two must entirely remain on line two, and Phrase 3 must entirely remain on line 3. Now try a double justification (thats the term for justifying left and right side at the same time)... You will knock your brain out finding someone who is able to do this... yet ...newspaper do this very often..
@@Beauty.and.FashionPhotographer if you’re still reading… what you want is to add a “soft return” at the end of the line (shift + return) then the next word moves to the next line.
@@dennisbade3874 i will test this, Thank You....i had been looking for a way for years now... and was not successful yet. this double justification is often used in columns in newspapers. especially old ones.
Guys, can anyone tell me, please, how do I add a dictionary in Pages? I'm typing in Romanian, but it looks like now this app supports only English, so I'm constantly getting annoyed by autocorrection in English words :(
Have you added Romanian in System Preferences, Languages?
I think this might help you: m10lmac.blogspot.com/2011/06/extra-spell-checking-dictionaries-for.html
I insert a video - but don't have any video controls! Can not see a progress bar. Also, worse is you can't discern whether you've embedded a video or still image unless you click on the video. The Notes apple offers both. Incredible Pages doesn't support either! Terrible!
The word is "asterisK"; it has a 'k'. Hold down the what? "option"? I am trying to help; you could be so good and increase your subscriber list.
Shouldn't the title been 17 tips for pages?

Please-would you go a bit slower, The information is extremely useful and you are very articulate, but you go through the information so quickly, I become overwhelmed and find it difficult to absorb it. The program potential feels endless. Thank you for attempting the instruction!
This is how I talk. I'm enthusiastic and I don't want to change that. But --- you can set the speed of a video at TH-cam, and of course pause at any time. So you can force me to go slower if you like. 😀
