Pages - Tutorial for Beginners in 12 MINUTES! [ COMPLETE Guide ]

[@MichaelSharpTechniSmart]

What a breath of fresh air your tututorial is. This is the first decent tutorial I have seen on Pages, it's actually a decent program once you have a walk-through. Free open source word processors are ok, but on macOS, this was there all the time.

[@bai]

Thank you so much!!!

[@85nikki96]

Wonderful, thank you. Finally someone who is respectful enough to go slowly, and clearly. This should go viral.

[@bai]

Thank you :D

[@kushunadkat9087]

This is so much simpler and straight forward compared to Word

[@lylyfisher2029]

Excellent, just excellent! It's like a "story telling" but not a technical presentation. Very clear and precise. Thank you!

[@bai]

Glad you liked it!

[@apoisonedpeach]

Thank you. LIfe saver for my master's thesis project.

[@charlottecox9976]

This was great for me as a new Mac user......thanks 😀

[@bai]

Thank you very much for watching!!

[@wendybradley4821]

Would like to see how to properly SET UP a page layout document in the first place -- step by step. Thanks. I'll keep searching.

[@shadpep2338]

Me too.

[@alex8426]

Thank you, it was very informative and easy to follow. You also have a nice and calming voice. I’ve learned a lot. I didn’t know that Apple pages is this good 👍

[@TnseWlms]

Was this narrated by the Voice Over screen reader?

[@Curios_Cat]

THIS TUTORIAL IS AWESOME! I really love your voice, it's just like Mass Effect Codex!

[@bai]

Thank you!!!

[@oneDonly]

I’m so glad I switched to apple now instead of just doing things on an android I get to spend hours trying to figure out how to do the simplest things.

[@karmaxx]

Thank you soo much for this little tutorial. Great tutorial.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro M3 space black laptop. I am new to MacOS, thank you for your tutorial. 👍

[@panamared8749]

Good tutorial. But learning Pages feels like learning how to fly a Boeing 747 that is carrying a space shuttle in a thunderstorm with no gps so that I can visit my neighbor next door. 99.99 % of the features of Pages I will never use, Is there a basic simple word processor available for the IPAD?

[@Lugubrious0]

Perhaps the Notes app would be useful to you ? It has only basic formatting tools.

Excellent Video, short and snappy...

[@bai]

Thank you!

[@Phulosophy369]

I didn't realize how intuitive Apple has set up Pages to use. I am switching over.

[@user-oe5ih2of5i]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful, but it doesn't solve a problem I have. I use Pages to design flyers, etc. Sometimes, I want to select a layer that's in the back. But Pages only allows me to select the top layer. How can I select objects or text that are in the back? Do you have a video on this?

[@blindship5792]

wow thank you so much! it was perfect!

[@deborahvc8310]

My iPad 2022 doesn’t come up with any of those side bars to that degree of usefulness and control.

[@rafalblaszkiewicz]

Thank You

[@armitaaghamiri3099]

this is literally perfect

[@danacarstea2888]

Hi! How do you copy format, similar to the brush in Word?

[@janechristian9130]

How do I get the toolbars you have. My Pages on my iPad has practically nothing... I can bold and italicize and color a word going deep into many menus but otherwise I've got no way to do just basic tasks within the page. How do I get these complex, complete toolbars... there is NO menu on my page that takes me anywhere to get all those options. It's mainly just a blank page with not much on it to help. Thanks

[@thesefilesweretaken8105]

on the description it says macbook not Ipad. Go look for other videos, thanks.

[@gladtidings4all]

I would like to know how to print a wording in a word document mirror image.

I came to learn how to add the introductory un-numbered thesis pages to my several-hundred-page long thesis document -- title page, dedication page, etc. -- and have those added automatically to the Table of Contents, which I did figure out how to do myself and which is amazing. There was no help for answering my question on this video.

[@WildPrimal23]

how do I remove dashes like this: - a;ldskjfalsdjf;lak - adskljfa;skldjfas I every time I try to it removes the whole paragraph and I cannot highlight only the dash, and I cannot copy and paste the text only the dashes comes along for the ride. I hate pages at the moment.

[@clindsay8362]

Excellent guide,

[@bai]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SteveJobs_]

On Mac, Pages has some fatal bugs that were absurd. Put images in the the document and press the space a few times from the top, then the images are combined. No matter how many times I ask the developers of Apple service center, they don't know how to fix it and they say it's like a bug.

[@TnseWlms]

Pilcrow (not pilgrow) character at 2:17 = ¶ (paragraph sign). Like the ampersand, a symbol people learn to use before they learn its name.

[@bai]

Thank you very much, we will correct this point in our next tutorial series.

[@debbieshonowo4670]

Is there a way I can freely draw on pages?

[@noortaiyeba1068]

you can

[@valsan428]

Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful. I am looking to remove extra spacing between words. My text is justified but there is just way too much white space between words. Is there a hidden feature somewhere that does it automatically?

[@PaulRHaskell]

A "Perform Find" (Command-F) can be used to find all double spaces. The Replace feature can then be used to replace one or all of them in the document at once. 😉

[@NiagaraSoccer]

With "pages" do I need to purchase Microsoft Office or would this app replace that need? I'm working with Mac IOS and Windows (Excel and Word) at my work place.

[@Richy1anita]

I have created a my first page being the cover page for my book, but when I move to the second page, the design of the first page continues to the second, which I don’t want. I want to design each page differently, can you please let me know how I can do that.

[@davidpack4448]

When I try to "Find" a word in a document, Pages will tell me how many times the word is in the document but when I try to advance to "Next" or "Previous" it will not advance. Does that make sense and can anyone help ?

[@eleven7090]

How do I make a framework in the Pages app??? I need help please 🛑🛑

[@danielhetzel2485]

You say that one can make a list by "dropping" a dash or number. How do you "drop" a dash or number?

[@gobrad]

How come there hasn't been any tutorials on the iBook Author changing to Pages?... This new setup is amazing, Better than iBooks Author yet nothing is out there to cover it??? Strange

[@scotthoyt8970]

So, I didn't see you explain how to switch form centimeters to inches???

[@bai]

We can add this to the next tutorial of these.

[@BookClubDisaster]

Is there a way to get rid of page break lines? I use large font and page breaks seem to come CONSTANTLY. Also........I think I know the answer......but the blinking test cursor (not the mouse cursor) is too small. Can you change that? I think no because Mac OS accessibility doesn't have this feature--like Windows does.

Great

My toolbar keep disappearing in pages and I have to toss out the app and get back into it just to see it again. Any reason why? I have to do this every little while. Making this app unusable

[@LuisFermg]

How can I change the background color of a document?

[@dell051lt]

I didnt even know this was a word processor program until I had accidentally clicked on it. After brief use, yup, I canceled Office 365. I just want a decent word processor program that gets updated that Im not tied to a subscription. Didnt know Apple made their own like version of Office. (I have both PC and Macs at home. Im getting another Mac for sure now, for my kids to use for school)

[@aleixcorbi5044]

And how could you change the languague of the concealer?( I don't know If It is called concealer, I mean the proofreader/reviser/amender. I'm fron Spain) Thanks.

[@bai]

Is this missing from the video?

[@niluferozyoruk]

Do you have a "how to type?" video on pages... Any shortcuts carried from Word... ? Can't do any scroll down-up, control-c. control-p... nothing! Annoys me... always have to move to the mouse and right click for options. Absolutely cuts down the speed of typing.

[@benderb.rodrigues1659]

can i change color of the text? thanks.

[@bai]

Of course.

[@shaquell5327]

Greetings. Your tutorial was very informative. However, I have a dilemma with my manuscript. Amazon will not accept my manuscript because there are numerous blank pages at the end of my document (13 pages to be exact). I was told that I had to remove the blank pages, but I don’t know how to remove them. I’ve tried everything. Can U assist me?

[@wendybradley4821]

Oh dear. You are in trouble if you didn't happen to originally type in the layout document body... NOT the DEFAULT document body in pages. I'd like to know how you made out. I'm about to respite a 60 page document so I can change and delete pages!
