Learn How To Use Mac Pages In 5 Minutes

[@SarahJonestoo]

Wow. This is a a Masterclass in presenting useful information brilliantly. Not a word wasted. Awesome.

[@stephaniemack1825]

Coming from a PC and new to Mac. This was a HUGE help!

[@TransplantHelper]

That was very helpful. I never knew the update button was so helpful.

[@qchav9187]

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.

[@theballereli]

Agreed! Helpful, but he does speak rather fast

[@lynneturcotte5862]

How do I slow the talking down, thanks

[@sagould3679]

@@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.

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!

[@heyaaaa]

im 27 years old and this video taught me to use pages. Thanks for this!!

[@kristyboxx]

Thank you for explaining the basics it’s pretty straight forward and makes sense.

[@sagould3679]

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!

[@artysanmobile]

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 need to buck up to your Patrion, you free information has been so insightful. Thankyou

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.

[@karla.with.a.k]

[@clcortelyou]

Styles in Pages are brilliantly implemented. I’ve never been able to grasp how they work in Word.

[@nikkilesley2525]

Ok, the go to document creator has usually been Word, Libre, etc. This video has shown a lot that Pages can do. Thank you!

[@TheEricBooth]

Damn Gary, I don't know how you do it. So much killer info in just 5 minutes. Thanks for this.

[@pauldelcour]

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...

[@ThatDamonCrawford]

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.

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.

[@sagould3679]

There is a COURSE on Pages? I am now intereted...!

[@Greg-fg1rd]

Really nice video. Of course I took the MacMost Pages class which was great! This was an excellent reminder of the functionality of Styles.

[@artysanmobile]

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.

[@loisskiathitis8926]

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏❤️

[@RaySawhill]

Brilliant, many thanks.

[@philiprand3720]

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.

[@believeinpeace]

Excellent. Thank you

[@elainegmorrison]

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.

[@boatman222345]

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!

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.

[@petertv101]

Fantastic video, but need some help/advice. If you are formatting a novel and want to have a zero indent on first paragraph and a .5 indent on following paragraphs - with a zero indent after a paragraph break, how do you do it without changing the whole lot when you update? I can't seem to get "body 1" and "body 2" to make that a think... I only seem to have "Body." Any help appreciated 😊

[@macmost]

Add a new style "body 2" then. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/baWccpKpjtB0e7s

[@bladethorn]

My table won't continue on into the next page. For this document, I have no document body. Is this possible? Is there something in Arrange I'm missing? Love you videos, btw, I had no idea how useful Apple Pages or Apple Numbers were until I watched your content and they're now both staples. Thank you!

[@macmost]

Right, the table must fit on one page. If you need a table to stretch across multiple pages you'll need to break it up into multiple tables. Or, just do it in Numbers instead of Pages.

[@bladethorn]

@@macmost Got it - thanks so much!

[@ECCLESIAOFBURNINGONESS]

love your vid. How do I upload fonts to ms word on my imac

[@macmost]

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.

[@nikkidewitty9080]

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

[@nitrospice1222]

Is there a way to make a check list using bullet points, so you can check off the bullets? Thanks

[@macmost]

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.

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.

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.

[@macmost]

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.

[@miso8988]

Thanks, Gary. I am having trouble putting a curly bracket over multiple lines in pages. I just can’t figure out a way to do it. Please help.

[@macmost]

Do you mean that instead of being a regular character, it stretches vertically over more than one line? How to do it depends on the situation I would create a text box to hold the text. Then two other text boxes to hold large-sized curly brackets placed to the left or right.

Hi Gary! I have one question about Pages. How can one avoid the document from moving when writing things? I mean when I have prepared a presentation for example in Pages with several pages, then I often like to add text during the class without seing the other pages moving. Hope you understood my question :-)

[@macmost]

Do you mean add text to the body of the document? That would naturally push things down to make room for the new text. Maybe what you want to do is to export as a PDF and view it in Preview, then use markup to put text boxes on top of that?
