Mac Pages: Mastering the Word Processing and Publishing App

1. Introduction to Pages: Hi, I'm so excited for you here in this course, you're going to learn everything and you need to know about pages, which is the very powerful, yet easy to use word processing and publishing software. It gives you all the tools you need to create stunning documents for un-solo. And I've been using pages since its inception, and I've been teaching people how to use pages to write and design visually stunning documents, brochures, posters, and books for over 10 years. I guide you through the creation process, starting from getting comfortable with the interface and domain areas we're going to access throughout the course. We'll be working with styles and how the layout of the essentials, as well as headers and footers and tables of contents and more to make sure our document is functional and looking professional at the same time. Then we will explore the different templates available, how to edit them and create our own. We're going to dive into the publishing aspect of pages using the Page Layout mode and working with images, shapes, tables, charts, all your files, and even movie clips. Finally, we're going to explore all different ways to share and collaborate with others using the many options available in pages. Read all of these and more. Let's get cracking and pages. I can't wait to see you insight. 2. What you'll need: So let's find out what you need to follow along with this course. First, we need to have macOS 10, point 13 or higher. So if you have high Sierra or higher Mojave, in this case, there will be a deal, of course, make sure that your pages is up to date, is going to ask you to update any way if you are in High Sierra or higher, make sure you have at least pages seven or higher. I'm going to be using page 8.1, but you might have a higher version that you might see something different than mine. But this is the version I'm using and I'm going to keep on updating this course as well. So make sure you have that version. Next, this is optional. You need to have a basic knowledge or word processing software, perhaps if you have used Microsoft Word or similar BADL. Because if we're gonna go through some concept that perhaps go a little bit beyond the basics. But if you start from scratch, then don't worry, you can still follow along. Then if you use the exercise files provided in this course, make sure you're free up at least 700 megabyte or more of storage space. And also some of the exercise files may have different fonts. So pages might ask you to replace them to your font in your Mac. So just replace them to the one that pages suggests. Otherwise, choose the one you like and you can follow along with the course. Now in the next video, I'm gonna show you how to use the exercise files so you can follow along lesson by lesson. 3. Using the exercise files: If you have downloaded the exercise files or you need to do is simply double-click on the zip file. That will unzip the file into a folder called Exercise Files. And I suggest to move this file into an easy to access locations such as your desktop. So once he's unzipped, you can double-click on it. And you should be able to see all the modules available. You just click on the module you're in and you'll be able to see all the documents that I'm working on. So you'll be able to follow through. Some of the modules, have also subfolder, such as images and videos. So you can access to those materials as well. So you can follow easily along the project that I'm working on as well. If you're gonna have the exercise files and you want to follow without perhaps you want to use yours. Please feel free to do that and just carry on watching. 4. Basics: Get familiar with the layout: Let's now get comfortable with the layout of pages, finding out where all the buttons and functions are, and how to really move around our document. Now I'm going to go down into my doc and there are a couple of ways you can open pages. You can go to doc if is there. You can go to your spotlight on top right-hand corner. Or you can go into the menu bar on top on the go. And you can search your applications from here. You can also go into your launchpad and you'll find pages here. If you installed it. It's there. Perfect. So I'm going to just click on my doc to open it up. Now if it's the first time you open pages, you might have a welcome page where you have to just press continue, and just follow the instructions. And then you will prompt you to a template user. If you're already open pages before, you might see a window that looks like this. So you may actually have the option to choose from previous documents you were working on. At the moment, the documents that ACR or the files that are compatible with pages will come up with dot pages extinction. As you see, I've got here a couple of documents, pages document that will appear. There were let me actually select if the rest are grayed out means you cannot open them with pages. You can also change the view of your find it by clicking on this button on top. And that allows me to change that to from ListView to Icon View and 2 Column view as well. We can also search for files directly here on the search bar at the top right hand corner of this window. Now I'm going to open a new document. I'm going to click on new document. So when you do that, you should be able to see your Windows looks like this with all these templates. So these are preset templates that are all sorts of by categories, as you can see I've got here on the left-hand side, the sidebar with all the different categories I can navigate, just pick the one I want. So for instance, if I want to go into my basic is is just a standard portrait, blank document. I've got landscape as well, some notetaking templates as well. I can go to something like reports, which you find some content here. These are just placeholder text and images where you can actually put your own content. Now I've got books as well. This is a new feature in pages. You can create books and beautiful covers as well. And you have also portrait and landscape as well. Then you still have letters. They also have a section for curricular, VTA now, which is completely separate. We have flyers and posters, and also you have newsletters, stationary, certificates, and miscellaneous. So I'm going to go to one of these newsletter, doesn't matter which one you choose. We just wanna make sure we are comfortable. We the layout. So I'm going to double-click on Serif newsletter so you can double-click and compress chooses well, so as you notice, we got the letter with all these placeholder tax does is just xy you can replace by clicking on it and just type your own text. You also notice we have a bar on the right-hand side. So this is our inspector and this is content sensitive. So if I click on an item on my document, it will reflect in my inspector. Now let's have a look first of all, at the top. So we have our menu bar on top here with pages, files, edit, insert, all the way to share, window and help. Down below we have our toolbar now some other functions you have in the menu bar, you also find in the toolbar. I'm going to show you later on in this class how to customize this toolbar with a button that you use to most, you can actually just right-click and customize it. I'm going to show you this later anyway. But let's have a look at what we have at the moment. So we have here the view and the top left-hand corner that allows us to see the document in different ways. We also have Zoom and we have an optional tool to add pages. If we want to add additional pages. The top middle we have all these bunch of buttons that let us add elements such as tables, charts, textboxes, shapes. We have more than 700 shapes here, you can choose from a completely customizable and editable as well. And you can also use media. You can add photos, videos, and audio as well. We also have an option to insert, insert page break, line breaks, section breaks, page number, page count, etc. I'm going to show you these later on. Do not worry, but this is one way to insert things into your document rather than going to your menu bar on top. Click on Insert and do the same things. Some, some of these function might only be available in the menu bar. We're gonna make sure we have a nice toolbar with all our favorite buttons. Then on the right-hand side here we have collaborate. This allows us to share our document into iCloud and collaborate with multiple people with a team or your coworkers, et cetera. And then we have the format and document section, which is our inspector. So this is content sensitive. So whatever I click in my document, it will reflect in my inspector. So for instance, if I want to change the text down below here, if I click on it, it's going to tell me here at these taxes, uh, Georgia font is regular. So I'll give me the points is gonna give me size, the color, et cetera, et cetera. I can do all this changes here in the inspectors or they make very, very easy. If I don't click anywhere in my document, I'll click somewhere in the background. Let's have a look. If I click somewhere here in the background and now you'll see the inspector shows me nothing because nothing is selected. Coming back to the view button here, you also have a view on the menu bar. So if I click on View, you have quite a few options here to view or hide certain things such as, for instance, rulers. Say if I want to show as a ruler in my document, I can do it from here, or I can go to my view and show the rulers here as well. Show ruler. Also have the option to see the page thumbnail. Some people likes to see Page Thumbnails and I like that too. So if I click on that, this gives us the option to quickly navigate for other pages and also gives you an idea of the proportion of your images, especially if you work with graphics and shapes and images, other things we have, yes sure, ruler. If I click on that, it's going to show me the ruler here up on top. If I want to hide it. Again, do it there as well. And I can do other things, Show Comments, pain. I can also hide word count, which is actually down below here. We're going to talk about this later on. Now as you notice on top it says Untitled 2. So the name of the document, we haven't named it yet. Especially when you open a new document, you would have to rename it and save it. I'm going to show you that later on, but you see this little arrow next to it. If I click on it, it's going to now give me an option to rename the document and to save it to whatever folder I desire. Now in this case here we're going to just close this document. To close a document, you can actually click on the red button in the top left-hand corner here on the traffic light. Or I can go to the file on top and just press Close. Now if we either make any modification or any editing is not going to ask us to save anything. I'm going to click ON clause or I can also use the shortcut Command W. When you do that, it's going to close the document is not going to ask us to save, of course. But now at the top we still have pages open. So you can see the menu bars to show me that. So pages still running, even do it. I don't have any document open and now I can go to pages and the very top, and I can quit it if I wanted to, also with the shortcut Command Q. So this is just a brief overview of the layout, but it will make more sense when we're going to work with real document in the next videos. 5. File Extensions: Another important note and I want to make before we carry on with the class is by talking about extension. If you click on your exercise files document here on top, and we just open the module 1. You'll notice the files here. I have an extension dot pages. Now if you then see this on yours, you have to go into your finder and the top left-hand corner of your screen and the preferences. And in here you'll find four tabs. The tab is advanced. You click on that and make sure that the first option, sure, all filename extinctions is ticked. If I untick that, you'll notice now my document, it will not have the extension pages. Now the reason why we use extinction is, is because we want to differentiate which documents are four pages, which are the documents are four numbers and for word, if in case you have office, you want to see at the first glance Word documents come from and what software has been used. So that's what I suggested you use for the rest of the class and for the future as well. 6. Open, edit, save and closing documents: Let's look about how to open a document, how to add it, save it, and close it as well. So we're going to open our exercise files here on the desktop and double-click on that. And let's go to our Module 1. So if I just extend this column for a second, we're going to open the document called thoughts of Marcus Aurelius 001. If you're following through. So double-click on that. You notice I've got some texts, some images as well. If I scroll through here down below, you'll see you have also other pages. We'd other images and text. I can actually click on any of this to reveal the inspector here on the right-hand side, as you see, is context-sensitive. So I can click on text and I can see the text options here as well. So I'm going to make some modification here on my heading by highlighting book too. So you'll notice under the inspects I've got format, text and the style. Here. I can change the font style, I can change the bold, italic, underline, et cetera, but I want to change just the size. So I'm going to just go there and make it for instance. Notice you noticed as soon as I change this, the documents name on top stays the same, but next to it I've got the word edited. So we actually added to the document. So now we would have to actually save this document. So what we can do, we can actually hover the cursor over the name that click on the little arrow next to edited. And now we can rename our document and we can also choose the location where to save it. And other traditional way to do this is by going to file at the very top on the menu bar and use something called Save. Now if I do that, this will update our existing document. So many people got accustomed to the word Save As which we don't find here on file. So Apple change that terminology with duplicates. So that will essentially duplicate this document and then we'll be able to rename it. But if you want to reveal Save As or you need to do simply hold down the option key or the Alt key on your keyboard. And when you do that, the duplicate will become Save As. So now I can click on Save As. And now I've got my finder on top here. There's gonna give me an option to rename that document and save it somewhere else as well. So let's save it into our desktop. So I'm going to just click on the desktop on my finder on the left-hand side. So now is selected. How do I know is selected? Well, I can see here up on top that says desktop. So always make sure that this bar on top highlights the folder where you want to save the document. So now I can actually give it a name. And this case I'm going to call it. And I'm going to give it a dash with two. I'm going to save it in the desktop. And by the way, before you press Save, you also have an option down below to keep changes in original document. So if I want to also change my original document, I can just tick that box. If I don't want to, just leave it unchecked and then press Save and then click on Save. And now my document has been saved into desktop and the original will stay untouched. So I'm going to close this by clicking on the red button on top. And I can also go into File and click Close. The document is saved, and now I can carry on with my work. I can even open my second document on the desktop to find out if there's been saved and indeed actually been saved. If I open my original document again, you'll notice that my heading there is 18, so it will be untouched. So let's close this document and let's dive deep into pages now. 7. Different views: Before we carry on with our class, I just want to make sure that everyone is happy with the view of the document because you may want to change the way it looks. I'm just going to open the previous documents that we opened in the previous class. So I'm going to go into file on top of my pages. Make sure you have pages here on the menu bar. And you can go to Open Recent. Now you notice I've got my recent document and they wind up on top is our latest document. There'll be opened. You can also open the documents by going into pages down to the talk and right-clicking on it will show you all the previous documents or you were working on, including the last one down here below. So I'm going to click on that. And there we go. We have the same document that we have before. Now, there are couple of ways you can view your document. I'm quite happy to have the thumbnails here on the left-hand side. Of course, if you want to remove that, you're going to go to the top left-hand corner under view. And you can actually go back to document only if you'd like. Some people would like to show you to see the document very large. So what you can do, you can actually click on the green button here on the top left hand corner of your window, which is our full screen. By the way, you can also enable full screen by going to View here in your menu bar, and you have an option down below for entering the full screen. The shortcut is Control Command F, if you'd like to use that to escape the full screen is the same shortcut Control Command F or write it down if you want to use that in a future. In this case, yeah, I'm going to click on the green button. So when I do that, the screen fills up with pages. So one of the things that I don't like about this, and many people don't like to, is the fact that you lose the menu bar up on top. And also the dock is not available anymore. Now, if you want to retrieve the menu bar and the name of the document, which I don't see at the moment, is by going all the way to the top with a cursor and you'll notice the menu bar, it will reappear with buttons here at the top left with a nameless document right in the middle. And as soon as I remove it, it will disappear. So I can actually have Regions with one stone by just removing the full screen. So I can actually go to the green button again to close it. And I can resize the window by just dragging the border of my document. And you're normally when you hover the cursor over the border, the cursor becomes a two arrows. I can actually drag that all the way to one end. And on the other side I can do the same thing in drag it to cover the entire screen. And now my menu bar is always present up on top. Some people like to see your page thumbnail so you can actually go into the view top left and you can click on Page Thumbnails are quite like to have that. Another view that I like and the Zoom. This is also new in pages where there isn't updates. You can have two pages rather than one. So if I wanted to do that, I can actually see two pages in one screen. Or I can actually go back in one page. And perhaps I want to have fit width. So I quite like that when I have to work with words and I want to have the screen quite big. So this is one way you can actually work without squeezing your eyes and stand where you are in your document, especially if you work in a document on laptop, like 12 inch laptop or small laptops or even an iPad. You could do this as well. In this case, yeah, I'm working with texts and images, so I'd like to have it as a fifth page, so I can have that as well. Well, I can actually have a middle ground which could be something like a 150%. So you can actually change the view by just playing around with the Zoom. You could also go on top here and the view. You might want to use this menu to go to Zoom. You can use zoom in and zoom out actual size. And you can also use fit width and page the same thing and you saw under view as well. Other things you've got here, you can also show, for instance, colors. Or you perhaps want to see shore layout. So this is something that many people use when they want to see where the margins are and how the document is formatted. So if I click on shore layout, you'll notice now I've got all these lines around my document. If I scroll down my document, you'll see I've got and these big box here, which include all my text and images. And I also have my headers on top here, my footer, the number of the page as well. So this is something perhaps you want to consider. If you want to realign images and objects and shapes throughout your document. I'm gonna go back to View and click on Hide layout and other important tool that we have here is showing visibles. Now in visibles allows you to actually see where the Enter keys have been hit. For instance, after I type the title, I pressed enter and then enter again, and then added the subtitle or the heading, and they hit the Enter three times, yeah, 123 to go back here to my title. So you'll notice all the blank spaces some people use invisible to count the empty spaces around that document. If I scroll down here, you'll notice I typed this paragraph here and then I went down 56, 7 times with Antar, you know exactly how many returns you hit, how many spaces you hit. And also, um, any blank spaces you have in your document. So you may want to have that enabled. So I'm going to go back to View and I'm going to click on Hide invisible. I also have an option, the view to show comments pain to also hide smarter notations to show arrange tools, et cetera. So if I click on, for instance, shore arranged tools, this is part of what I have in my inspector. This little floating windows and says arrange at the top is actually appearing here on my inspector when I click on one of my items, yeah, I'm going to show you now. So if I click, for instance, in this image here, and I'm going to my inspector, you'll notice I've got format, style. These are arranged that you see here is actually behind arrange here. So if I click on a range, I've got the same options. Or you see here in the floating window, some people likes to have this floating around, so they always have it available, especially if they need to deal with lots of images and lots of graphics. They might want to have this always available. In this case here I'm going to close this, can actually hide it by clicking on the red button, or I can go to View and then hide it from here as well. I also have the option to show colors are just images and media browser. These are all functions that you find and the toolbar on top as well. So I would rather actually use the tool Barbara is up to you. Now you know that they're here if you need to do any adjustment, for instance, if you need to adjust an image on your document, make sure you select the image. And then you can go to View and do show, adjust image. And then you can do your modification. You can announce the image. You can do all sorts of editing here if you'd like. I'm going to close this for now. We're going to cover these graphics aspect of pages later on anyway. Now you know all the different ways you can view your document in Pages. So you'll feel more confident to move around and do your modifications and editing and do your work more efficiently. 8. Customising the toolbar: While you're working on your documents, you might need to access to certain functions more often than others. And one of the way to personalize pages is by customizing our toolbar here on top. So you notice as a default you got four different areas in your toolbar. Up on a top left-hand corner, you have your view, zoom and add page. You also have here up in the middle, all these graphics buttons. And also you have collaborate. And here on the top right-hand corner you have your format and document which are part of your Inspector. Now I can actually customize this and add more buttons or remove buttons I don't need. So if I want to do that, I can right-click anywhere here on the toolbar with my mouse and I can access my customize toolbar. I can also go into my view here on my menu bar. And down at the bottom here you find customize toolbar as well. So it's up to you which one you use, but I'm going to right-click here on the toolbar and click on customize toolbar. And now you see you've got plethora of different kinds of buttons you can add. Now if you work with tax and graphics, you may want to add something that related to graphics. For instance, you may want to have something like Adjust image. This will give you the option to click on an image and adjust the colors, the sharpness and other things. So I'm, I'm, I want to have that on top. So you introduce simply drag it, you click and hold and drag it up into your toolbar down on top. You can also add something like mask. Mask is like cropping and image. You might want to have that as well. You might want to, for instance, add Eastern alpha. Is an alpha gives you the ability to remove a background, a plain background from a follow. Very, very useful. You might want to have that as well. So as you can see, I'm just dragging and dropping these buttons on top. Now you'll also notice that you have three flexible spaces here. And these keep all my buttons even throughout my toolbar. I also have the option to add them here as well. Flexible spaces or just a standard hard space. So if I want to keep this middle buttons close to each other, but just separate a few from others. I can just use the heart space. If I drag the heart space in-between, comment and adjust is going to create a little space there. Of course, when I click on Done, down below here, is going to save that. And I've got these adjust button separated from the rest. If I want to customize that or right-click, click on customize toolbar again. So you also notice when you're in edit the button see on top star to wobble. So if yours don't wobble means you have a previous overwritten system and a previous version of pages, but do not worry, does not affect the functionality of pages. Now if I want to drag a hard space out, I can just drag it out and let it go. And see if I can use comment because I don't collaborate with others. I don't need to have comments there. I can just drag it out as well. Is still bringing that back by dragging it up. If I want to use a flexible space between, for instance, these graphic tools from the rest of the buttons, I can just drag a flexible space in between. And that will give me a bigger gap. So I can actually have a more separation. And it also graphically pleasing for my ice as well. And I can easily find the buttons are without having to read all the descriptions. And by the way, if you want to change the view of your toolbar, if you don't want to see the text down below the buttons. At the bottom here you've got Show says icon and text. I can click on icon only and you only see the icons. Now I'd like to have them both. I'm going to click on icon and text again. And also if you change your mind and you want to go back to the previous view of your toolbar where you can do, you can drag this default toolbar just down below and you drag it all the way up until you see a green plus icon there. And as soon as I let go of my mouse, it goes back to the default view. So feel free to spend some time here to drag some of the buttons on top and remove the one you, the news. And we're going to come back here anyway throughout the class. So do not worry if you don't do anything. Now, we still going to come back here because some of you might not want to access the menu bar necessarily. They may want to just use the toolbar instead. And this is one of the alternative to add your little shortcuts functions up in the toolbar. 9. Understanding Document setup: Before we start to create our own document, we need to understand the margins and measurements of our page and really understand the document setup before we even get started. So I'm using the file thoughts of markers or radius 0, 0, 3. If you following up. Now when you have these document open and you click on the inspector on the document here on top right hand corner. You'll notice you have three tabs. We have document section and bookmarks, and a document, you'll see your printer and paper size at the moment I'm using my Canon MF 4100. You might have a different printer down below you have the document format. In this case I'm using an A4. So if I click on the pop-up menu that I've got all these other formats. You might have US letter you, you might have a different format. Choose the format you want. The one that I uses, a four, which is the standard A4 page for any standard printer. And down below here I can actually change the page orientation. Now at the moment, I've got a vertical portrait. I can also use a landscape. So if I click on landscape, is going to change all my pages. Landscape. So I can change that back and forward as a lake, of course, things will change and items will move around accordingly. I'm going to just go back to my portrait view. And it also gives me the size down below 8.26 inches by 11.69 inches. Now, now you can change the units of pages by going two pages at the top left-hand corner under menu bar, under Preferences. Here you'll find a three tabs. You've got general rulers and auto correction. Now under rulers, you'll see I've got a royal units is on the inches. If you want to change that to points or centimeters, is really up to you. As soon as I do that, you'll notice my inspector changed as well in centimeter. So I'm going to stick with inches for now. And I'm going to come back into the rulers to just in a second and I'm going to close it now with the red button. Now let's go back here and I'll be held to have headers and footers. As you notice, these document does not have a header by if I want to add that, I tick that box. And if I hover the cursor all the way on top of my document, you'll see my header will appear right on top. If I want to get rid of it in hover the cursor over there again. It disappears when I hover the cursor over that area. Now the footer, we're going to keep it because we have our page number. As you notice, I've got the page number here down at the bottom. Then I've got also the measurement here is 0.59 inches from the border documents by the, so this allows me to actually disable the word processing format in my document. I may want to work on a combust, just a blank, unformatted canvas to play, for instance, with graphics, images and text boxes as well, without having to deal with margins. In that case, I would actually had to untick that. And if I do that now, it would get rid of my formatting and my text as well, which I don't want. I'm going to stick with word processing for now. I'm going to leave that ticked when have to work on lipid graphics with just a little bit of text. And I want to have the freedom to move around without dealing with margins. Then I would then tick that box and all of my document will be affected. Now in this case, we're going to work with words and letters and anything else that has to do with texts. So we're going to keep that document body ticked down below here we have document margins. Of course, these are the distances between the borders. As you notice, I've got here 0.75 inches from the top. So from the top there all the way down here is 0.75. Bottom the same thing. 75 and left and right is one inch. Now, you can really tell if these are correct. If you have the ruler enabled, at the moment, I've got my ruler now enable visible. But if you go to View, you can actually show the ruler by going to hide here. Show ruler now might says hide ruler, but if I click on it, it's going to disappear. For one to re-enable that line, go to View and click on shore ruler. The shortcut for that is command R. So I can click on that and see the ruler on top. Now these also an option to see the ruler vertically as well. And that is by going two pages, the top-left than corner and the preferences. And under ruler, you have an option down below here, which is the last option says Show vertical ruler whenever rulers are shown. So I'm going to click on that. And as I do that, I've got my ruler vertically as well. You notice I've got also a couple of other options. One is placed origin at center of ruler. At the moment my ruler is in inches, so it's from 0 to 8.5 inches. So if I now click on Place origin at the center ruler is going to place the 0 at the center. You might want to have that if you work with graphics power-ups and vertically as well, is really up to you how you want to use it and display a ruler units as percentage. You can do that as well. You can have it presented rather than inches. No. Any other unit? I'm going to disable Dang, going to keep it like this. I'm going to now close my settings and I'm back here now I can actually really tell if these distances are accurate by just going here. So that one is the top 0, 75 inches from the top is probably around about that because that one is one inch, the other one is the bottom. The same thing. I can actually measure that from the bottom up and is right about there. Same thing, left and right. I've got one inch or one side, one inch on the other side. It's pretty accurate. The other way also to measure him visually better is by also enabling the layout for ongoing to View and click on Show layout. The shortcut is Shift Command L. I can actually see the border around my document as well. And other option that we have available is facing pages. So this is S2. When we have a double view, we have actually two pages in front of us. But we got to talk about this later. And also I, Phoenicians and ligatures is something we're going to talk about later on. 10. Understanding Document setup 2: So now that we know about the document setup, we can actually create these document from scratch by going to File New and open a blank document by double-clicking on that. Click and choose will open a new document. And now we need to resize this. I'm going to just over impose the other one behind. And as you notice, I've got untitled on top. We haven't saved it yet. If you go into documents on the inspector here on the top right-hand corner under document. We're going to change these settings as well. Let's look at the top here. We have printer and paper size. Again, the printer's going to be the same. And the paper size, I'm going to click on a pop-up menu is a four. So I'm going to stick with a four. The page orientation. We're going to also leave it as portrait. They had to. We don't have the header, we're going to untick the header. The footer is 0.59 inches. Let's have a look at the other one. And by the way, to move between pages, you can actually drag the top toolbar with your mouse and you can move it on the side if you want to see the other documents open. And as you can see, I've got the other 1.590, which is the same documents body is ticked. We also have document migrants 75 inches and is 79. So I'm going to just click here. If you click on the little arrow next to them, it will jump quarter inches. And if I double-click, I can type my own value there. This case we'll 75 and that is fine. We're going to do the same thing here, 75. Otherwise, if you look for a specific number, you can double-click and type your own number. Here is one inch and one inch as well. And everything else is the same. Now if I want to start a type, I could do that. Again. Start to type the title here. I can click anywhere there and start to type the letter. Or you can actually use the exercise files. You're gonna have to type these in. You can actually go to File, go to Open and on the exercise files. You'll find in module two, thoughts of Marcus Aurelius O4. And we're going to click on that. So you're gonna have to type anything down. Everything is here already with all the margins and all the measurements you need. Before we jumped to the other class, Let's close the other documents we have behind. So let's close this for now for a second. Let's close this document as well. We're not going to use this. We're going to press Delete. And we're going to also close these as well. And our thoughts of Marcus Aurelius 0 or 4 is the document we're going to use in the following classes. 11. Adding and rearranging pages: Let's talk about now the difference between page breaks and section breaks. So this is a concept that can be very confusing for some of us that use documents everyday is especially weird word processing software. And if you actually transitioning from Microsoft Word two pages. So we got to understand that. And basically, what you see here is the document that we're using at the moment is thoughts of Marcus Aurelius, double or four if you following up and we have three pages as you notice here, my thumbnails got three pages. And again, I can resize the thumbnails viewer by just hovering the cursor over the line. When you see two arrows popping up, you can just simply drag that to make the thumbnails smaller or bigger. And if I keep on dragging it to the left, is going to disappear half I drag it the other side, a will reappear. Now, I'm going to leave it as large as possible for now and use you notice, now I've got these three pages. And if I tried to move one of these page around and say I want to have page 3 instead of page 1. If I tried to drag it a one, let me do it because it's part of the same section. So that is a page break. There is kinda locked within the same section. I'll show you an example. Let's say if I want to add a new page, what you would do, you would either carry on typing and pages will automatically create the next page. But what about I want to just finish two right here. I want to live this empty space and I want to create another page break that I want to keep in the same section. All I have to do is simply go to Insert here in my toolbar. I can also go into the menu bar on top and create actually a page break by using the first option on top. So if I click on that, it's going to create a blank page down below. But if I click on it in my thumbnail view here, you'll notice everything is kind of highlighted together. Shadow, blue shadow you see in the background highlights the entire section. So if I now want to move these Page Break up on top and 1, let me because again, page breaks are locked within a section. I would have to do something else instead. So I'm going to just go into Edit at the top. I'm going to undo that. And by the way, to undo his commands that instead of creating a page break, I'm going to create a section break. Section breaks are independent between each other. So I'm going to go into Insert and I'm going to create a section break. Another advantage of section breaks is that you can create different headers and footers within a section. And you also notice here on the right-hand side here, my inspector and the document under this section tab, we have the option to change headers and footers. We can hide on first page on section, you can match previous section. What that means is when you create a new section, it will match the settings of the previous one you created. And also page numbering can be affected as well. It can make page numbering different for different sections. And we got to talk about these section area here AND inspect to later on in the class. So do not worry about that. But for now we created our section break here. And I'm going to drag now Page 4 all the way to page one. And as soon as I do that, it will group all the other sections automatically, which I quite like it, one of the new feature and pages. And now I've got my first page blank. So I can use these as my cover page, as my table of contents per ups. So it's really up to you how you want to use it. But following up through this class, I'm going to show you step-by-step how to do that. So this is the difference between section breaks and page breaks. 12. Document Metadata: When we save a document in Pages, we also save its metadata or information about a document such as the layout lines or you see here this little gray border around line. We save the page count. We may want to see that on our document all the time. So all these little things that we save and page numbering as well, and anything else that has to do with formatting is going to be saved within that document. And this is something we can enable and disable by going to View. Now, I'm using the documents, thoughts of Marcus Aurelius, 0, 5, a few following up. And I'm underpaid too. Now if I want to, for instance, see the word counts, this can be very useful for students or for someone who's actually writing their own essay. And they want to know the word count, the paragraph count, et cetera. They can go to view on a menu bar on top here. And it can actually go into show word count. Or you can go to the view on the toolbar here on top, which I prefer eon top left-hand corner, you click on View and you go into show. Wordcount does the same thing. Now with word count. A new page is now going to show us the word count here right in the middle. And now I can click here to find out other information. It says I've got one hundred, five hundred and forty four words so far. By, if I click on little chevron here on the side, I can actually see more information. I can see how many characters are in the document without spacing or how many characters I've got width spacing. And of course are many paragraphs and how many pages. So you can choose whichever view you want from these word count and is going to be saved within the document. Other thing we have is our layout at the moment you see this gray line around the document. If you're not using these documents specifically, you may want to use your own document and if you want to see where the margins are, where the board desire and wet the really the lines are to kinda find out the measurement and also the proportion of your document comparing perhaps with your images as well. You can go to view on top and you can actually show the layout. Now in my case, it says Hide layout. But if you don't have them is going to say show, if I click on Hide is going to hide them out. If I go back to View and click on Show layout, and by the way, they're shortcuts for those of you who wants to know what the shortcut is, Shift Command L for layout. So I can do that as well to re-enable it. So all of this will be saved within your document and perhaps you want to know how to enable and disable it. Another useful feature you have here in pages, visible if you go to view on the top and you go to Show in visibles, this is where you're going to see where you actually hit the return key in your keyboard. The dots between words represent the spacebar hits. And you can actually see how many times I hit. Return here to go to the next page. So you don't have to necessarily do that. In an ideal world, you want to have a document perhaps between paragraphs without any hard hunters. And to do that, you need to basically work with paragraph styles and paragraph spacing as well, which you want to cover later on in this class. But this is how you can actually see where the space bar heats and enters hits are, and also where the section breaks are, as you notice is if I go in the very top of my documents, I've got these blue line which basically represent might section break. So everything that a type below is going to be part of the section. So all of these information can be very useful for those of you who wants to just view them in the document, but they don't necessarily print. So you're not going to see this in your print if you print this document out. So the invisible, the layout, the word count, I'm not going to be printed out. And this information can be customized and saved. On each individual documents you have. 13. Two pages View: Now in pages we have the option to view our document, our pages side-by-side so we can go to the Zoom at the very top left-hand corner here, and we can actually choose two pages. Now I can actually see two pages side-by-side. And That's it. This is one of the way to actually view your document. Perhaps you're writing a book, a novel, or anything else, or you might want to have that sort of view. But the other option that we also have available is to change the binding here, change the distance of the margins perhaps between the left and the right page. So in that case, if I change the margins here is going to change also on my left. So now I've gone up from the Inspector and the document and the document tab at the bottom here, I've got under Document margins and option to enable facing pages. And if I do that now, I can see now the cover of my book or my documents here is on its own. And if I scroll down, I've got, again the same side-by-side pages. The only difference is that now I've got also the thumbnails view changed two side-by-side. But also if I want to now change the margins here, left and right, I can do that. And the document margins now I see inside and outside before I used to have left and right. So frantic that look what happened. Now I've got left and right. If I tick that box, it will enable inside and outside. So if I want to, for instance, leave some margins here for my binding, again, go to the inside and make that a little bit wider. So now I've got a wider binding here. So for my book, everything will be affected of course. And I can also change the headers and footers for the left side and the right side as well. By going into the section tab here on top. Now you'll notice I've got an extra option. It just says left and right pages are different, so I can tick on that. And now I can actually change the headers and footers for the left side and for the right side as well. So there's going to be a very good feature for those of you who write books, novels. And they need to have this sort of controls on their pages to change the headers and footers and also the binding distance as well in the inside of that book. 14. Paragraph and Character formatting: As we're moving along creating our document, we also want to make sure they looks great. And one of the way to change the look of your document is by using character styles and paragraph styles. At the moment here we have these really plain document. And by the way, if you're following along, this is called thoughts of Marcus Aurelius double 06. We're going to start by changing the paragraph styles. Paragraph is defined by the heart returns. So basically when you type something and you hit the return key on your keyboard, that one is actually a paragraph, even if it's a title. For instance, here, I've got a title that I've got subtitle and another subtitle, Numbulelo. These are actually three paragraphs. They're considered three paragraphs because actually hit the return key, how do I know that? We can actually use the invisible to find out where are actually used to attain keys. So we'll go to View here on top on the menu bar, and we're going to go into show invisible. So now this symbol that you see here at the end of a line or a paragraph is actually the return key. So I hit the return key after I tied to my document and I hit the return key a couple times here as well. This is a kind of one of the mistake that we do when we create a document. When you write something, we tend to hit the return key each time we want to go to the next line, which can actually make a lot of problems when we have to export this to a different format. Perhaps were publisher or somewhere else. So we need to perhaps add more paragraphs, Raul, books if we're writing a book or a quite long article. So we want to make sure that our formatting is correct. And one of the things we need to do is basically get rid of these hard returns. So for instance here, I want to get rid of these hard return by clicking on it and then just press backspace. And we're going to basically getting rid of all this blank heat return keys that we didn't need, you're going to basically create paragraph style with those spaces. And now I'm just getting rid of a sum. So you can actually do the same thing up to point number five. And now we can actually hide them visible by going back to view and go into Hyde invisible. We don't need them anymore. And now we can start to change our paragraph styles by clicking on them. And you don't have to highlight the paragraph or the whole line. If he's a title, you just need to click anywhere within that line and that will affect the entire paragraph in this case here, the title. So the paragraph styles is under our Inspector and the format text. And then where it says body is where we're going to change paragraph styles. So if I click on that, I've got a list of different styles and let's say that one is our title. So I'm going to click on title here on top. And that will change that automatically. So I can go to the subtitles as well, and I can go to my paragraph styles and use, for instance, subtitle, and so on and so forth. I can go to the third one as well. I can go back here and say I want to have a heading 2 to make it slightly bigger. Now one of the issue though is that all of these paragraph styles of go here don't have any spacing distances as you notice on the spacing down below here, my inspector before paragraph after paragraph, it zero-point. So I would have to basically make sure that all of these a little bit of spacing automatically without me hitting the Return key because it's almost anything for us. Tap on the return key now to go to the next line, took him to leave some space, but we're not going to do that. We're going to use before and after paragraphs here, the formatting. Now we're gonna go to the second subtitle. Then I'm going to click anywhere that little slash and breath. And we're going to click on the inspector on top. And we're gonna change that to Heading 2 as well. We're going to do the same thing for Providence, and we're going to change that to heading two. And the last one here, clouds from thy mind, and that also is going to be a heading 2. Now, I want to also change the distance in between the paragraph and the titles. So you're going to have to do this one by one. So long as you change one, it will affect the rest. I'm going to show you how to do that now. So let's say I want to apply that to the first one here. I'm going to click anywhere that it doesn't matter where. And then we're going to go into the inspector, make sure you are under Format, under taxed and down below under spacing. We're going to use a little bit of spacing before the paragraph after paragraph. So I'm going to increase that point. And as you can see, as soon as I do that and you notice that distance will change in between the titles and subtitles. So I'm going to just leave it at 14 points. And the same thing for after paragraph as well. I'm going to leave that say 12. So as you notice, as I change that, of course it will change live on my document. But also something happened to my paragraph styles menu on top, which has this little button, update button. So if I click on it is going to apply that to the entire document. And let's see if it works. If I click on Update now. So all my titles now have the same formatting. Well done. So if you actually change the formatting after writing and very long letter or a very long chapter 4, your book. And you want and then change the formatting of your subtitles. Well, go ahead, you can do that as well. So bear in mind, you need to have at least subtitles, titles, and some sort of formatting pre formatting at least. Okay, So we've done that from our paragraph. What about changing the paragraph styles of the entire paragraph here? So I'm going to just click anywhere inside. And I'm going to go into my paragraph styles there. Now I've got these body, but I can actually change that to, for instance, at a smaller and smaller formatting, perhaps I want to have footnotes for matting and then will change with footnote. If I want to go back to body, you can go back to body. So you're not noticing a lot of differences because it's probably the same, exactly the same I forgot to caption. You'll notice the entire paragraph now change the caption and I'm not going to leave to go back into the body. So the document, we'll come back to the right format. Biking change for instance, the font style to a different style. Perhaps I want to have Georgia or I want to have something like Helvetica or Montero, anything else? So you can choose your own format from that. And as you notice, as soon as I changed the format, my body at the top comes up with a little asterix. And that means that are actually amending the original body, which is actually this one here, which is a very plain text. If I wanted to, I can go back to where I was. I can actually go to Edit Undo if I wanted to. I can do undo a few times to go back where I was or, you know, that we started with alphabetic Anu and irregular. So you can actually go back to Vatican. So this is our paragraph styles. And the way you can change is by just going into the inspector and change the spacing, the formatting, the alignment, et cetera. What about we want to change the character style so the character styles applied to each individual characters. So for instance, if I wanted to also highlight a word, I can do that or a sentence I can do just that. I'm going to highlight, for instance, we'll do a full stop. So instead of going to the paragraph styles, I'm going to go into the character styles and blow. So be careful because if I change now the paragraph styles is not going to change. Just the highlighted area is going to change the whole paragraph. So I'm gonna go down to Character Styles. I'm going to click on this pop-up menu and choose any of these styles. Let's say I want to have that slightly bolded and I've got this one. She's called emphasis. So I can click on that and that now become bold and also change the size as well. I think it's 11 also for the rest. So now the size is the same, but it just apply the bold style of my sentence that perfect. I can also change the color if I wanted to do something else, I want to have read, I could do that. So I can change that for that specific area. And again, I've got my body on top with the asterix as well because it's just LME you amending the original body of the letter. Okay, that's fine. I can click anywhere that to go back to the normal view. But this is a quicker way for you to change character style and paragraph styles in your documents to make them look good. And we're going to dive deep into character styles, paragraph styles later on in this class as well. 15. Creating character styles: So let's dive a little bit deeper into our character styles by selecting a sentence on our document here, by the way, I'm using thoughts of Marcus Aurelius double 07. If you're following up and I'm going to just select a sentence. Say I want to change the sentence here. And I want to change the style and now go into the inspector, make sure you are on the format here on top right-hand corner. You inspect to under taxed. So under font we have the font families by clicking on this little pop-up menu, the first one, you'll see a lot of different kinds, a font style. Now your list might look different than mine because depends while you installed by, if I click on any of this at say I'll go into something that you might have as well, which is Ariel. And I want to go into the subcategories here. I want to have that perhaps italic as well. So it changes slightly. I can have bold as well. And it kinda stands out from the rest of the paragraph, which is cool. I also have the option to use underlined. And by the way, the shortcuts for bold, italic and underline is command B for bold, command I for italic, and Command U for underlined. So you can try those as well. Now we also have strikethrough as well. If you want to do like Corrections and you want to strike through some words, you can do that as well. And another option you also have, of course, the size, you can change the size of fonts. And now we also have the option to go into advanced options. If I click on that, now I've got more options that I can change our manned into my words. So I can actually go into character spacing and change that to make a little bit larger, for instance, to make a stand out more. Or perhaps I want to use baselines, shift. Perhaps you want to have a bigger letter before the sentence and have that slightly higher or slightly lower and then increase the size. I want to have to something like bigger. So you might have seen this in two tails. And are there is three books, et cetera. Let me just undo that for a sec and just going to go back into undo. You can actually do Command Z a few times, still go back to the previous stage, the baseline, you essentially use this for single words, perhaps not necessarily for a sentence. Perhaps if I want to just highlight a single word and I can go to the Inspector under the advanced options, I can use baseline to be superscript for instance, and that will make it smaller. So this can be good for math assignments or something like this that you need to change the script to something like that, or subscript as well. So you can change the position of it as well. So I'm going to just go back to default. Also have the option to change capitalization directly. Yeah, can make that all cup. Or if I wanted to make the whole sentence garp, I can actually highlight it again. And I can go into the Advanced Options on the capitalization and make that old cup do it as well. I'm going to just call back in now. I can also change the ligatures here. I'm going to leave it as it is, and I talk about ligatures later on. Now we have outline. If I want to have an outline now with a new pages, you can have an outline around the words, which is pretty amazing. You can actually change that they're actually here. This works very well for titles, so I'm just uncheck that for a second. For instance, if I want to change that title, they're going to highlight the title. I can go to the Advanced Options here and use outline. Perhaps I want to have a nice blue outline in that, that could work very well for certain documents. So let me just go back when I wasn't when I go back in there and remove the outline. And let's go back to our sentence here. I'm going to highlight it again. We'll go back to our advanced options that we also have shadows. I might want to have a shadow. And when you do that, you also can change the blurred, the offset, the opacity. So for instance, the blur can be changed, you can make a less blurry. You can also change the distance in between the letters and also opacity. That is the opacity of your shadow as well. And you can also change the color of the shadow. You might want to have something like slightly gray, or you want to change the angle of the shadow as well. That can be changed by just moving this little knob here. Or you can actually change the value by double-clicking on it and using your own value. You can also change it background as well. If you want to have something behind the entire sentence, if I click away now you'll see you have these very subtle shadow behind our text, which is quite cool. So let's say you want to save these for future reference. So I can go here to Character Styles down below. And if I click on a pop-up menu, I've got some preset styles. And I can actually create my own style by clicking on the Plus button so I can click on that. And now that character has been saved, and I can call it, for instance, gray shadow, and hit the Return key to save it. So if I want to now apply that somewhere else, willing to do simply highlight a sentence or a word. When I highlight the word principles, I can go here. I can also double-click, by the way, to highlight a word, you can double-click. And then you can go into character styles and use the one you saved before great shadow. And we'll apply the same style that as well. Character styles can be very useful, especially when you have to repeat and apply the same style, two different chapters throughout your document. 16. Special characters: When you write your document, you might need to access to certain characters that are not in your keyboard. In this video, I'm going to show you where to access to these special characters and other symbols and how to save them as your favorites as well. Now I'm going to just zoom my document because it looks very small here, so I'm going to just make it a little bit bigger. So I'm gonna go to my Zoom. I'm going to use under than 50 to make a slightly bigger, actually, I'm going to go to with to make it a little bit bigger. Perfect. Now let's say I wanted to add a special character right after this word, for instance. And I want to have, for instance, a symbol after that, Let's say I want to have a trademark symbol or a copyright symbol or anything that you might require after that letter or after that word. So I'm going to go into my system preferences down below, you can go to System Preferences. We're still cogwheel here. Or you can go to the top left-hand corner of your screen on the Apple sign at the very top left hand corner. And you can go to System Preferences. Now here you can access your keyboard by going to keyboard. Now we go, He's here. I'm going to click on that. And now the first option on top is your keyword. And you can tick the box next to short keyboard and emoji viewer in menu bar, mine is already enabled. So make sure you tick yours and you should be able to see a symbol that looks like this, next to your spotlight or somewhere here in your status bar. So mine looks like this. You might have a flag of the language you use beak. And he had the US setup. And you can set up other languages here and the keyboard, you can go to input sources if you speak more languages and if you want to write, of course, in different languages, so you can just stop here the plus button and choose another language. Perfect, then we're gonna go into keyboard here, make sure that when he sticked. And then we're going to close this window coming back into pages. We're going to go into the character viewer right on top. And you'll find an option to show emoji and symbols. So this is kind of the standard way to have that available wherever you are in your Mac, regardless if you're using pages or not. But if you are in pages and you want to enable it directly from here, you can go into edit, the very top and a menu bar. And you can go all the way down and the emoji and symbols, the shortcut is Control Command Space if you want to use that in the future. So I'm going to click on that. And it's going to show me this little window popping up here on top. And now the beauty of the new pages is we'll pop exactly where my cursor was blinking. So if I click on another part, for instance, I click on this at the end of this word here. Now the cursor is blinking there. If I now go into Edit and click on emoji and symbols control command space. It will open directly there. So I can choose now between these characters. And you notice down below here, I've got a list of different symbols. If I click on the little chevron on the side, it's going to show me all the MOG. Of course I can add any of these emoji file like I could double-click on that. It will add an emoji in my document if I want to delete that, of course you're going to backspace. I can use the shortcut Control Command and backspace to bring that back. And I can go down here and choose different symbols and different emoji. And again, the Chevron will access to the other one. So I've got copyright, have got trademark, and I've got others as well for math as well, Math, symbols, fractions, et cetera. So you can also scroll up here at the top in this little window, and it's going to show you the frequently used. But also you have a little symbol next to the search. I can click on that symbol to reveal the standard view of my character viewer. So I can go into frequently use here, on the left-hand side, I can even search for whatever I want. So I want to go for copyright. It's going to search for copyright symbols. Again, dress, remove that searching. Go into emoji, into arrows, into bullets, and anything, currency, symbols and latin, et cetera, et cetera. You've got lots of math symbols as well. So I can go here and simply double-click to add it into my, into my document. Now if I wanted to save one of these symbols as my favorite, I just need to click on this button, Add to Favorites. So let's say I want to go into my arrows. Perhaps I want to use one of these arrows and I want to save it as my favorite. I can click on it, click on Add to Favorites. And now the favorites section will appear on the left-hand side in the sidebar. I can also go into frequently use and perhaps I want to use old saw that copyright sign as my favorite. I'm going to click on that and I'm going to add it. And you can pretty much just search for other symbols and save them as your favorites, so it's easy for you to find them later on. So now if I want to add that symbol, I double-click on it and it will add it to my document. There we go. He's on eyelids here. Now for each symbols, you also see some variations as well. Here on the side, I can scroll down and find the variation that I want. And I can actually save that as well. Same thing, Add to Favorites. So I can do that as well. I quite like the way the cock, the viewer now is integrated in pages. And I'm going to click on that little symbol again and the top right-hand corner, because I quite like the fact that you can access by having these floating window here. And it will automatically added for you when you double-click on it, it's kind of slick and actually as Mall inside so you actually easier for you to access while you're working on your document. So I'm going to close this. You might have noticed that some symbols such as the copyright here in this case are not in superscript mode. So superscript is essentially a symbol smaller than the rest of the characters. For instance, here, if I highlight copyright, and then I'm going to my inspector. And the advanced section here, options. And the baseline I can make that character is a. So if I do that now it's gonna make it smaller. And probably some people would like to see it on that size. So you can change that to subscript. Or superscript is up to you how you want to see it. Otherwise, you just leave it as default. But this is the way you actually look for a mortgagee by using the shortcut, the Control Command Spacebar. Or you can go to Edit and access to your margin symbols directly here. 17. Hidden characters in your keyboard: Now that we know how to access to special characters, we also want to know how to access to the characters that we have built in in our keyboard. So to find out that we can go to the special character view and on the very top here. So and you have again your show emoji and symbols. But we also have another option down below, which is keyboard viewer. If I click on it, it's going to show me the keyboard here down below. Very small. I can drag one of the corner to make it bigger. And, and now if I hold down one of the special keys on my keyboard would say, hold down the old key is going to reveal all the special characters that are hidden behind the keyboard. And I can use those as well. And I can also use old and control or open command to have other symbols. And as you notice, I also have the apple symbol, which is under the K key. So I can also do and find our other math symbols here. The copyright is actually under the G. So if I do, old Angie is going to give me their copyright option as well. Do alt N G is going to give me the copyright as well. So this is kinda the other way to access to other special characters that are built-in in your keyboard. And again, it depends what keyboards kind you have. You might have a different language than English, and you might have different characters down there. So go in there, experiment and find out which symbols you go available. And you might find these way much easier than going to corrective us. 18. Ligatures and Hyphenation: When working with long document, we need to consider a few factors. Some of these factors are readability, fluidity, and spacing. And this can be improved by using ligatures and a Phoenicians. So let's look about ligatures first, I'm using the file thoughts of Marcus Aurelius double 07. If you following up and EMI inspector on the right-hand side, I'm going to click on document. As you can see down below, I've got Ay Phoenicians and ligatures and my ligatures now, architecting ligatures combined characters together. We're going to show you an example now. In this case here, this also depends on the type of font you have in your document. Now at these case, I'm using something called helvetica new here in my format. I've got a vetting and you and I, if I want to change this to a different font just to show you what these ligatures do, I'm going to highlight the first paragraph. I'm gonna go to my font style here, and I'm going to choose Lucy dad, grander. You may be able to have that font in your font book as well. So I'm going to click on that. And as you notice, if I zoom in, now, we're going to make a Zoom or a top left-hand corner here I'm going to go all the way to 400%. Scroll down, you should be able to see the word fix here. So the letter F and I are glued together, even though I can actually click in between them and I can separate them who wanted to. Now if I bring them together, they glue together. They actually been combined together. And this is because I've got the ligatures function on. Now bear in mind this only works with certain kind of font. So sometimes you might not see this. So if I'm going to my documents or getting my inspector my ligature design, if I turn that off, I want to turn it off from here. It won't affect the existing ligatures I already have in my document, but it will affect anything else that I type from, uh, from now one. Now I'm going to just stick with that. I'm going to leave it on if I want to see the difference between taxed with ligatures and without, I'm going to go into my format in mind specks on the top right hand corner. And I'm going to go into my advanced options. Here I will find an option for enabling or disabling ligatures to the existing text. So in this case, I'm going to double-click here to highlight the word fix. And then I'm going to go into my advanced options. I'm going to go to ligatures. I'm going to change that default to none. And as you notice now the three letters are separated. So it's up to you if you want to turn these on and off. Sometimes having ligatures on can make your reading much better and much more fluid. Again, this is depends on the font style you have. In terms of iPhone nations though, let's go back into our Zoom. Let's go into a 125 so we see a little bit better. Actually a 150 were probably do. So the definition is something that we can enable and disable again in under the documents inspector. And as you can see now, my definitions here is off. If I turn that on, you'll notice my paragraph here started to have these definitions here at the end on the right-hand side. So I've actually breaks my words in order to kind of make the edges a little bit smoother. So for instance, if I turn that off, you'll notice now I've got more spacing here in my paragraphs. If I scroll down as well, I think I've got one paragraph, number ten, which is quite broken here is quite gives me a lot of gaps. So if I use hyphenation on and I scroll down again into the paragraph number 10. It looks much smoother. So these can actually shorten my text and I can make my readability much, much better. So it's really up to you if you want to enable and disable it. So now you know that they're here and you can also enable and disable ligatures under the format in your advanced options as well for existing texts. 19. Using indents: To make our documents even better, we can also use indents, or perhaps you want to indent the first line of a paragraph or in dense, perhaps a quote or a specific phrase or a sentence. And that's what we're gonna do in this video. I'm going to show you how you can actually do that. But before we get started, I want to make sure we have the ruler appearing on our screen. So we're going to use the shortcut Command R to bring up the ruler. And again we have the horizontal ruler and the vertical ruler as well. I'm using the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius, double O eight if you're following up, if I want to, for instance, indent the first sentence here and click at the beginning of the sentence that with the cursor. And I can press the Tab key on my keyboard. If I do that, it will indent automatically half inch forward. And if I keep on pressing on Tab key is gonna go inch increments. Now I could do that. I can just press backspace to go back to the very beginning. Now this is something that is set as a default for breast tab once it will indent, of course of inch. But if I want to customize this distance, what I can do, I can just press backspace again. I can hover the cursor over the top of my ruler and say I want to indent at two inches mark so I can click on the ruler. And as you can see, I've got these marker now. And if I tap on the top now, is going to jump to the two inches marker. So this will only affect though the first paragraph. If I click on the second paragraph, you'll notice the marker will disappear. So if I want to have that applying to the entire document, I would have to highlight the whole document so I can actually go into edit and I can click on Select tool. Or if you want to use the shortcut Command a, or use the shortcut from now Command a. And then I'm going to click on, on the two marker on top and click on it. So this will apply now to all the paragraph. If I click on the first paragraph, is there, the second paragraph is their third paragraph, and so on and so forth. So I can go to the second paragraph here, go to the beginning, and press Tab again. So I could do that for all of my paragraph if I wanted to, to make them all even, or I can actually customize my indents. Let's go back now for a second. The first sentence, I'm going to leave it as it is here with the marker at two. What about I want to highlight this phrase here, we are ready change the boldness and the font style here on these phrase in the other chapter. But now if I want to kind of make this sentence stand out from the rest of the text. I can press Return to, just give it a space or a couple of spaces. I can go to the end here as well. Press Return again to give it a little bit of space as well. Now if I want to indent this, I can actually use the indentation that I've got here in my alignment, my inspector here now down below the alignment buttons, I've got the indent. So for instance, if I click at the beginning of the sentence and I click on that, that will indent automatically half inch increments. And as you'll notice, I've got a half-inch into increments there, but this will move the sentence and the paragraph altogether. I want to have actually a specific indentation for this. So I'm just me go back here. And by the way, you can use these indents buttons to move the entire sentence. So for instance, if I click on the first paragraph here in the US, that is going to indented the entire paragraph. And if I click on there again is gonna go increment of our finches. So I'm going to go back. I'm going to go back, has a worse. I'm going to go back into this sentence down below. Then I want to kind of highlight. And then I'm going to go into layout in my inspector will style layout and more. I'm going to click on Layout. And the layout of got indents. If I click on the triangle next to it, I've got an optional to customize me my indents. Perhaps I want to have the first sentence moving or the first line moving slightly on the side. So I can go here and I can actually click on that to have an increment of health in check and go little bit further and say I want to have a one-inch, I can do that. And perhaps I want to do the same thing for the rest of the sentence. I can go to the other one and do one as well. Now as you notice, they're all aligned together. And then on the right I'm going to do the same thing and I use one. So now the sentence, it kinda stands out from the rest of my paragraph and also have even edges as well. So this is the way you customize your indents in your document. 20. Indents and Tab stops: Let's carry on talking about indentation and also tabs, tab stops. In this case, I'm using the document called thoughts of Marcus Aurelius double or nine. If you following up. And then we're going to jump into page number 4. I'm going to click on the thumbnail on the left-hand side to jump down here. And I've got some contact information down below. Now I want to have these informations indented, slightly indented prop set to inch marker. And I went to have the telephone numbers and email addresses aligned on the right here. So in order to do that, I need to create a couple of tabs here on top of my ruler. And I'm going to click on the museum contact information. I'm going to highlight the whole lot. And as you notice, I already got the D2 inch marker at the top of because we created that previously in the previous lessons. So if you skip those lessons, you can actually click on the ruler to create that marker. We already done that. That's why we have that marker on top. And then we're going to do the same thing on the other side. Let's say I want to have the text aligned to the right from six inch marker. I'm going to click on that on top. And I've got now two markers, they all pointing down to the right. I want to have the six-inch mark to point to the left because I want the text down below to be aligned here to the left. So I'm going to right-click on that marker on top. And I've got four options. Have got the option to align it to the left, to the center, to the right. So that will work with numbers with decimals, digits after the comma. So I'm going to use a right tab for now. And these will basically point to the left. Perfect. So if I go down here now to my general inquiries, I'm going to click with a curse at the beginning of that. And I'm going to press Tab, so that will jump to two inches marker. I'm going to do the same thing for the rest. And I'm going to juice do all of them. And now if I go to the beginning of the information, so the telephone number and the e-mail addresses for the cursor, then I'm going to press tab. And that will jump just right about at six inch mark. Perfect. And do the same thing for the email. And I'll do the same thing for the rest of the information. Just pressing Tab will let me add. Oops, let me add now all of them nice and aligned. Now, if I want to add some leaders in-between the description and the contact information, I would have to actually customize that into the tab, this area. I'm going to show you up to that in a second. So let's say I want to just go back here. I need to get these dots leaders. So I have to go back all the way to the very beginning, not the very beginning. Actually, I'm going to leave it as is because I already aligning two inches marker by I want to have some leaders in-between this information. So what I'm gonna do, I'm going to highlight again the whole lot. Now I'm going to go to my inspector here on the format. And instead of going to style it, we're going to go to layout. So before we kind of worked a little bit weird custom indents about this case. We're going to close that and we're going to open tabs instead. As you notice, already got here down below two stops, which are my top stops at the top minus two inches marker. And the other one is six inches marker. Don't get confused because this actually saying 15. These are measured from the margin. So the margin is here. So the first stop is a one-inch and that one, That's why it says one inch. And the second stop is at five-inch even though yes. Has six because it starts from the margin, so don't get confused. So the second margin here, it says write and backs actually is aligned to the right perfect. And the leader, he, it says none. So if I want to apply the leaders for all of my information, I would have to go into here and choose the one of these lines. For instance, again, you can use the dotted lines, the dashed lines, and say I want to use the dotted lines here. So when I click on it, Let's have a look if you now is working. So I'm going to just go back down here, go to the beginning of that telephone number and press Tab. But let's see what happened. Perfect. I've got the dotted lines that Let's go to the second one. So I'm going to go there, press the Tab, and I've got the dotted lines. Perfect. So now we'll introduce him, just press Tab at the beginning of that emails. And then there we go. Now I've got the leaders on my information here. So that's the way you can create tab stops and also use dot leaders by using the inspector on the layout inspector, you'll find all of these information. Now if you want to add more stops, you can just press the plus button here. And it will add another stop at the top here on your ruler. I like to actually click on the ruler first and then change the information in my layout here. So do as you like, you either press the plus button and then move the marker where you want, or click on the ruler itself. First, create the marker, and then change your information here in your layout inspector. So that's the way to kind of clean up your text. Make some texts stands out, align them to the right and to the left. The way we done here in composites. And also how we actually make a sentence and stands out from the rest of the text as well. 21. Bullets and Lists: If you want to type a list of items in your document pages as the ability to actually create bullets automatically. And also you can apply bullets on existing tax as well. And that's what we're going to cover in this lesson. I'm using the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius 0 0100. If you're following up. Now we're going to go into first page here, page number one. And just to practice here a little bit. So I'm going to click anywhere in the document. Now bear in mind the first line here is our title in paragraphs. I am going to change that here on my inspector and the format text I'm going to click on the paragraph style. I'm going to make sure that I've got a body style, so I've got smaller. So we tend to actually type list of items by pressing the dash key to kind of have them as a bullet. Or perhaps we want to have numbers if we actually carry about the order of our items. In this case, I'm going to press the dash key, press the space bar and type for instance, item number 1. If I press return, pages will automatically understand the U1 to write a list of things so I can actually carry on here and type the items. And it does this automatically. Very good. Now if I wanted to, for instance, customize these dash to be a doctor or to be a number two, I can use bullets and lists are actually in mind. Spectra, as you notice now, under Inspector on the format text at the very bottom, I've got bullets and lists. Let me just close spacing. And just to make this a little bit cleaner, now you'll notice on the bulleted list I've got dash. This will automatically apply a fight up on dash on my keys and it will automatically of course apply here as well. Now I can do also other things. I can highlight my list here. I can go to my inspector and I can change the dash to be something else. So if I click on that, I've got a list-style that I can choose from. It sounds might want to have a bullet instead of a dash. And as you notice, it will change that automatically. I can also have, for instance, numbers or letters. So let's say I want to have letters and it will automatically add the letters. I can go through there. Again, I can go numbers, et cetera, et cetera. So I can also carry on typing here. And if I go just back to the first two, the third item there, press return and saying on a type item number 5 and item number six, oh, something happened there. So let's say if I made a mistake thing on a Type I and item number four, and I want to kind of correct that. I can drag the item, I can drag it down, highlight and drag it down. And then I can just, just Move the item number phi down below, and it will automatically fix that for me so I can go now down below here, carry on typing the items I want, and it carries on with my bullet. If I want to stop the bulleting and I want to just type some text on a clue. Simply just press Return again and it will get rid of that text. And I can carry on with my text here without the bullet. If I want to carry on the bullets AI type some text here and then decide actually want to carry on my bullets down below here. I can just go again and type item number 7 for instance, et cetera. But now you'll see is not carry on from the first list. These are way to actually do that by going into bullets using the numbers again. And now down below here, my inspector, I can actually start from either one or continue from previous. I can click on that. We'll continue from the previous list. If you are planning to create lists with some text in between, some descriptions in between. So that's the way to do it in your Inspector. Let's delete all of this and let's upload some bullet into some existing text here. So I'm gonna go to page number three. So you have got clouds from diamond. So basically if I scroll down here, I've got point number 4, 6, 7, 8, et cetera. Let's say I want to create a bullet of all this tax so I can highlight the whole tax year from bullet number four all the way to number 10. Now if I go to my inspector and the bulleted list, I can click on it and I can have, for instance, bullet. Again. Now as you noticed, this is a problem that happened all the time. So now I've got the bullet where the text starting for my paragraph may also have a bullet for the title and also for these empty spaces through these heart enters that I've got here, I need to get rid of this. So I can actually go into these hard enters and press backspace to get rid of that bullet so I can do that manually. So sometimes we might have a row, a lot of tax, then we might need to fix that manually this way. Well, before you create your bullet, you get rid of these empty. First and then you create your bullets. Now I could do that manually. And now that is actually a title. I can just get rid of that and press Return again. And as you notice, the bullet is still there. If I press Return again, now is creating steel bullets. So in order for me to fix that, I can either click on that title now and go to my inspector and just click on the bullet and click on none. And that will be indented to the first margin here on top. Now if I want to perhaps create some distance and indent the whole list, I can highlight the whole list again. And then again go into the bullets here. And I've got an option to indent. So I can actually use that. Indent might acts slightly quarter of inches increment. I can do that. Let's say I want to have it that let's say Yeah, quarter of inch, it would be more than enough. And I can also indent the tax itself. I can indent that the distance between the bullet and the text, that can be done also by increments of our finches. And I can change the bullet here. I'm going to actually have a different kind of bullet. Can have a star. I can have, you know, different things, different graphics if I want it to. So that can be changed there. Now if I want to go back into the bullets list, I'm going to go back into my bullet. I want to stick with the dots. That's what I want. I want to indent quarter of inches and ultimately tax can be slightly distance from the last I'm going to click away to see how it looks. It looks okay, but I still want to perhaps change the distance in between the paragraph because they looks all kind of glued together. So I'm going to highlight the whole list again. Same way. And now I'm going to go into my spacing when I click on the triangle next row spacing. And perhaps I want to have some distance between before the paragraph on after the paragraph. So let's try that. So I'm going to just choose a couple of like four points, four points after the paragraph, I'm going to click away and it looks much better than before. Yeah, much better. I can actually read it better here. I can also use image bullets as well. So if I want to perhaps have image bullish, I can click on that and make sure you highlight the tax first. You're going to go to your bullets and use image bullet. So when you do that, you have this big bullets which actually not taxed. This is actually an image. And I can go to the current image down below here, my inspector and change it to a different image. Perhaps I want to have that blue star and I want to have that the size of the star is more a bigger. You decide how big you want that to be. And also the alignment you might want to have a slightly up or down from the tax is up to you. You can also go, negative points are going to go and I stick with 0 for now. And again, you can indent your bullets and the taxed as well to make it slightly distance from the bullet. And there we go. And now you create a new list with bullets. Now pages can recognize when you have a list of items or paragraphs, they are separated by a hard return and it will create a bullet for you. Or if you start to type in list of items and will automatically create that list, and then he's up to you to customize it here in your inspector. 22. Spelling and grammar checker: Whenever we deal with taxed, we always have some sort of a spellchecker features in the software and pages offers one as well. Now we're dealing with the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius and 011, if you following up, we are in page 2 and as you notice down below here, under the Providence paragraph, we have a couple of spelling mistakes. You notice them by the red underlined here. So I can actually start to correct my document either manually going word by word, which is gonna take me quite a long time. If is a very long document. But if it's just a one-page document, we might just want to go manually is up to you. So I can right-click on the word. And I've got some suggestions. Well, now I can use this, or I can actually use the spelling and grammar feature as well are of gods. So I can either right-click on the word and use the suggestions up on top here. Or I can actually use the function under edit, which is my spelling and grammar. And you'll notice I've got here an option to shore spelling and grammar. I got checked document now. And down below I've got three functions that I can turn on and off is up to you. The first one is check spelling while typing. The secondary is check grammar, spelling, and also correct spelling automatically. The first one we'll check the spelling while I'm typing and it will give me a suggestion of whatever word I meant to type. The second one is check grammar and spelling. So what that means is when I use shore spelling and grammar, a will to check the grammar structure or my letter or my tax. And the third one's correct spelling automatically, it will give me a suggestion. And as soon as I press Space-bar, it will correct that automatically. I'm going to show you how this works in a second. So for instance, if I want to type the word here in paragraph one, I don't want to retype a word. Let's say I want to type the word away. So I'm gonna go here, I'm going to delete that. I'm going to type away again, but in this case I'm going to make a mistake. So as soon as I press Space-bar, it will automatically correct. Dan is you notice now is underlined in blue, means that something happened to their word. In this case, the auto correction kicks in. So I could use that some people don't like to have the auto correction on. So in this case, you can go to Edit again under spelling grammar. And you can just turn the correct spelling automatically off by clicking on this again. So that will turn it off and you have complete control of what's happening. In this case. I like to have that on because I'm writing in English. In case you write in different languages and perhaps you're writing in English. And you also want to add some other foreign language words within your document. You might want to have that off because may be quite distracting and annoying. So you can turn that off is up to you. So another thing you can do, you can also type, for instance, let's say breath. And I misspelled, apse sang, going to type that misspelled, it will automatically come up with suggestions tag down below. Now if I want to correct that, I can either click on it or if you don't want to use the mouse, press the Space bar on your keyboard and it will automatically correct that word for you. If you want to have the auto spelling on, but you want to kind of ignore the suggestions that comes up while you're typing. You can also go there. So say, I want to write the word ignite. So I'm going to give me suggestions down below. I can actually press now the escape to ignore that. So the mistake here is that I haven't used the capital I at the beginning of the sentence, but I can actually ignore that by pressing Escape on my keyboard. And that will leave it as a, as a wall still market as a mistake. So I can actually go back there and correct it, or it can actually right-click there. And I can either corrected from here or I can ignore. Where can it even learn the spelling. So next time won't come up as an error. So let's delete that. So let's say I want to spell check the entire document. I'm going to go into the edit. When I go to spelling and grammar and in Cologne, click on shore spelling and grammar. I also got the shortcut Command column as well. If you want to use that. So I'm going to click on that. And now I've got these other window popping up here on screen. It's going to highlight the first spelling mistake of going my document. And by the way, spelling mistakes are underlined in red. As you noticed, I've got two here under the Providence paragraph. Now, I can actually choose one of the suggestions down below, or I can ignore that and go to find next. And that will not correct and we'll leave it as it is and it will jump to the next one. Or I can click on ignore, same thing. So I can do that as well. So if I click on Find Next, that will stay as it is. And it is going to jump to the second spelling mistake, which is our principal. And I can actually go here and say principals, and click on Change and is going to jump to the next one. Now if I want to go back to the very beginning and click on Find Next, go through the entire document. And perhaps, you know, ignore some of this by just going Find Next. And it will jump again to the very beginning to our nature word. And here I can either go into ignore it. I can also press learn if there's a specific word, if he's like a firstName or a proper name that you want to add into your dictionary, you can click on Learn. So next time when you retype that word, a one come up as a misspelled. You also have an option to define. You might want to see that word into the dictionary. You can click on that and it will call up your dictionary as well. And gas of course, is the same as having these suggestions yen this box. If I click on gas, it will come up with the same option. Of course, if you don't have any options here in this box, you can click on gas. And down below here you also have an option to enable or disable check grammar. We did already in our edit spelling and grammar and check the box next to check grammar and spelling. So that is something you can enable or disable. And if you click on a pop-up menu there you'll see all the list of the languages. You can also add more languages as well. In this case, you'll want to correct Dang and I click on nature and click on Change. And that will correct that for me. After you're finished, you can click on the red button and he's done. So that's the way to use spelling and grammar. And again, if you want to turn those options on and off, you can go to Edit, you can go to spelling and grammar. And as you notice now that all titin is up to you if you want to have them on and off. And the other option that we have here, the document now, and that will automatically check the entire document, including the grammar. And it will highlight and underline the words that are grammarly wrong. Now this is a very old tax, so it uses an old English grammar. It might come up with something like that. So even though he's correct, so I'm going to skip it for now because this is not something that I'm concerned about. This as just a document that we use as a demonstration on Lee. So now you know how to autocorrect why you typing, how to check spelling and grammar into your document by using the functions under Edit. 23. Find and Replace words: When we need to find a word in our document, partially a long document. It might take us sometimes to go through each individual paragraph, golf rule line by line, trying to find these word. One of the best way to do that is to use the function find. We can actually enable that by using the shortcut command F. Or we can go to the menu bar on top on the Edit and go to find here you have an option to find a word. So I'm going to click on that. And now we have this dialog box here on top so I can actually type any word here, any will find it in my documents, for instance, the word good. And we'll come up now eight times in my document, as you can see, it says eight found here. And I can use the arrow here to jump in between the words and it will automatically find them for me. The other way is to actually go to the cogwheel here. And I also have an option to Find and Replace. I'm, I want to substitute a word to another. So this is an old tax. I might want to change something yellow, which we're going to do in the second. But down below here also have a bunch of other features that I can enable or disable, for instance, Hall words. So this will search the word even if in conjunction with some other longer word. For instance, if I searched the word, if everywhere the word river, and if I go down here, you'll also notice I've got these things here in paragraph five. So it will also highlight that as well. But if I wanted to only search for that specific word, I can go to the cogwheel and use whole words. And that will only search for that word specifically. And that will keep, for instance, something like DES or them or that sort of words as well. And it will also match the case if I want to search for only the one we, the capital letters, for instance, if I click on match case. Now along the searches, the one with the lowercase, if I go here and search the word there with a capital T, will only search one with a capital T. So you can actually be very specific when you use find. Now let me just untick this too for now. And I'm going to search in other words now. But before we do that, I want to make sure I am under Find and Replace. As I said, this is an old texts, so I may want to change the word, die and replace it to yours. For instance, I've got here 18 instances. So I can actually go here on top and show all of them here. So for instance, I've got clouds from diamond or universe, die existence, so I can change that to something else. Let's say I want to replace it to the word your. So I can do that now I've got three options on, but I've got to replace all I can actually do that for the entire document. I can replace m find so that it will replace the first one and jump to the next one or just replace so it will only replace the one that is highlighted. So for instance, if I do it now is we're going to replace the first one. And now it will stay as it is. And if I want to go to the next one, I would have to click on the arrow here to go to the next one. And the next on now is the one in yellow. I can actually click on Replace and find. And if I do that is going to replace that and jump to the next one. But now they know that is something that I want to change. Now, I know type this in Capitoline can actually type this in lowercases. So whether the word of it being copied all over cases and one matter because I actually typed my replacement all in lowercases. So trying to match the same case of the word you want to replace. So if he's all lowercases, type all lowercases. I'm just type the word your, and then I'm going to press it, replace all these, gonna change everything throughout my documents. This can be very useful if you want to quickly go through your document and find some words or replace it with different ones and also use whole words or match case in case you're looking for specific word with capital letters as well. 24. Autocorrection and substitutions: Let's talk about auto corrections and substitutions in pages. Sometimes we might have some words that we misspelled and we know that we need to fix that. And when we go back to that, word is already fixed for us because pages does have the auto correction on automatically will sometimes when we write an email address or website and my comp as a link automatically. I'm going to show you a couple of essences here. From going to the first page here, I'm going to zoom in all the way to 400%. So let's say I'm going to write any MAC address has one or more info at major media.com. And I press Space-bar. So the text got underlined now automatically. And now as you can see, when I hover the cursor over that, it comes up with this little hand tool and that would allow me to actually click on it and compose a new email if I wanted to. This can be quite useful for those of us who write a lot of email addresses and website into a document by fears, something you don't want to enable. Let's say you want to make a plane documents without hyperlinks, then you might want to have that option turned off. So you can go to Edit for instance, and you can now remove that I hyperlinked by clicking on Remove. And that will remove a for us. So this is an option that we have on the substitutions as well. So, and other things you could do is, for instance, if I type something with the dash, I might want to have dash here. If I type many dashes, what it does, it will kind of blend them together. This is another thing that you have automatic in pages and other thing you have is also the quotation marks it safe I say something like, I am here to help and close the quotation. You'll notice it automatically. I've got the quotation the other way around here, so I've got the one on the side here that facing up and the island facing down. So this is something that you find automatically as well in pages. Another example is when a type for is something with a full stop. And as soon as I type something else after that and say type the word hello, and I press Space-bar a automatically corrected for me. We the capital H. Sometimes you might want to type some abbreviation, perhaps you want to type the word. Let's say I'm going to type S, R, j dot powerapps. And after that, I want to type something else. Say I want to type the word hello. And I don't want to necessarily have hello with a capital H here. So it can be quite annoying if I have to always kind of press Escape to get rid of the suggestion and having these sort of auto correction going on. So if I want to change this, if I wanted to have more control of these substitutions, I can go to my edit at the very top. I can go to substitutions here, as you notice down below here, I've got these four features or turned on. So I've got smart quotes, the one that I showed you before here, I'm here to help and we automatically closer for you is Mark dashes and will blend the dashes together if you repeat them, use mark links. These are the links that we had before here on top and also tax replacement. So we haven't covered text replacement just yet, but I'm going to show you that in a second. So if I'm going to show substitutions now, I notice that I've got this little window popping up on top and I've got again the same features, Mark dashes, marched links, and text replacement, ticked in. And smart quotes here as well can be also changed. I may want to have something different here, and I've got a couple of options on how I want them to look or the way they look here. When I start to type quoting texts as well. I also have texts preferences as well. So if I click on it, this will apply to the entire computer, to the entire MAC. So if I click on that, that will link to my System Preferences. And the keyboard text. Here, I can actually have some abbreviation that I can use. So for instance, I've got a couple of here already. The one that you probably see on your computer is o m w, which is on my way. So I can actually write others are a couple of them in and Japanese as well, but I've got also other one like BBS. I'll be back soon for instance. So if I want to create a new one, I'm going to show you how to do that now. So for instance, if I get rid of this, for instance, and by the way, I'm going to just move this on aside. I'm going to get rid of that. And let's say I want to write, for instance, my e-mail automatically. I can actually highlight this. I can copy it by right-clicking and copy it. I can use the shortcut Command C. I can go back to my text preferences. Again, go to my text here I can press the plus button. So if I want to write the word e-mail or just say, if I want to just write a word, my email or on Word, I can actually substitute that with Command V. I'm going to paste my e-mail here. So now that is going to be my short word, my email. So if I go back into my pages document and I type my email, it will automatically come up with suggestions down below. Very, very handy and a fibrous. Now the spacebar is going to substitute that with my e-mail address. So this can be very useful if you have specific word you want to substitute. You can type them under Text Preferences in your system preferences, by the way, these function is under keyboard on your System Preferences if you look for this from System Preferences view. So here you've got keyboard text and on the texts you've got your substitutions. Other thing is you have here on the top right is correct spelling automatically, this will apply not just four pages. It will apply everywhere else in your Mac. Also capitalize words automatically. This is something that comes up automatically. You may want to have that off. Annoying if you write lot of abbreviation or lot of words, we the dot after it, you also have add full stop with double-space. And this is another option if you want to speed up your typing. And again, you have also the option to use smart quotes and dashes here as well. So again, you can close this now and now you know how to use substitutions and how to avoid annoyance if you want to turn things on and off. So you can do an edit on the substitutions. 25. Writing fractions: So now that we know where to search for special characters, we also have another option in pages under preferences. So we're gonna go into Pages preferences here. And the auto corrections, we have a bunch of new options including spelling, formatting, and replacement. And now you can actually go directly here and create your own substitution here without going into system preference above. Of course, in the previous video, I showed you how to do that to change that globally. So wherever you are in your Mac, will that change it in here? This will only affect pages. So I've got a bunch here already saved, like for instance, trademark TM. I've got copyrights, I've got registered as symbol as well. Now on top, I also have an option for fractions before we used to have that under the substitution for fracture. Now we have an actual functions as automatically format fraction. So if I tick that box, and now I close this and I just type anywhere here. Let's say I want to type something there and I type a fraction. It will automatically epsilons or press Spacebar will automatically make that as a fraction. So this is something that you can enable or disable in pages preferences. And we'll look at that. You've got also other ways to as substitutions in your document. 26. Overview of Styles: Let's talk about now all the different styles that we have in pages. We have paragraph styles, character styles, and also Bullet styles. So as you notice before in the previous chapters, in previous videos, I was actually changing the paragraph styles and character styles of my text starting from the title. You notice when I click anywhere in the title, I've gone my inspector and the format text, I've got my title here on top. And if I click on that, say the subtitle here, I'll go Subtitle coming up here on top. God the headings to, for instance, or the beginning of these paragraphs. And also have some other bolded text with some shadow in the background. And that is also a changed from the default style. And if I click anywhere in my document, I can see that I used the default font, but all of these paragraph styles have now this little asterix next to them. And by the way, all of them have an asterix next to the word. And the reason is that we actually made some changes after we've chosen the character style. So in here, for instance, after a change this I also press the return key to go to the next line. Perhaps also use some spacing at the moment, I haven't used any spacing and the tides or by if I go to, for instance, into the subtitle here. No, actually the heading here, the heading 2 also has it is an asterix M. The reason is we actually clicked on it first to change the way looked, but also we changed some spacing here. I've got this option before paragraph, after paragraph has been changed and I will suppress certain key perhaps and I went and a change also the spacing and above as well. So that will come up with this little asterix. Minspeak can actually overwrite all these styles. So in paragraph and character styles, I went for instance to this quote here. I clicked anywhere inside and we change it there on the character style. So if I click on character styles and the pop-up menu, I can see all the different styles and we, and we actually created one as well in the previous lessons. And you can do this, you can actually amend your styles. And everything's got an asterix. And the reason is if I go all the way down here, for instance, and I create something like and I click on this title here. Now that I'm using a default, if I want to change that, I can actually go and highlight it or just click anywhere without highlighting it, go to my paragraph style. And let's say I want to use something like heading three. Perhaps something that looks like this. Now, this does not have an asterix now because we haven't actually changed anything yet. If I now go and change something in that it's safe, I highlighted and I'm gonna make that bold. You notice now my heading that it's going to have a little asterix means that actually amended and I change it. Weird something that I modified with. So in this case you also notice you have a little update button, which I'm going to show you in the next lessons anyway. But this is the way you meant paragraphs as soon as you do something even minimal into your style, a will, of course, showing you the little asterix center top. The character styles works exactly the same way. So you have your character here and you might see again, this little asterix next to it means you actually amending it. And the bullet is the same thing. So if I go back here into page number three and I see I've got this sort of star as a bullet. If I click on it, you'll notice now my bullet style as also a little asterisks next to it. Very tiny. So if I click on that and notice the image is been modified with a different shape, in this case the z star. So if I want to modify all of the other bullets around the documents, I can click on update and then we'll update all the bullets that have used the image as a style. In this case, I'm going to just change this because I don't really like the stars. I'm going to highlight all of that. I'm going to go to my image here, and I'm going to go back to the standard bullet. I'm going to click on that again to go back to the previous view. And that will change it again. To bulla saddened by the way, I can not true in Dan data as well. I can change the distance between the bullet and the text. So I'm going to leave it like this for now. So this is the way to change Character Styles, Paragraph Style, and Bullet styles in your document. And I next week I'm going to show you also how to override the styles, how to save your own styles. It will make your document more consistent and much easier to read. 27. Overriding and saving styles: Now that we have a better understanding of styles, we're going to now modify some of these that we created before. For instance, if I want to change the style of my text here, you notice when I click on that, I've got my heading two with the Asterix. So it means we made some modifications after choosing heading 2. And at the moment, I've got some spacing in-between the heading and the actual paragraph. In this case, I've got some spacing before and after paragraph that we are ready to apply for one to have the heading 2 with these properties, I can actually click on date here. If I do that is going to apply these changes to all my heading throughout my document. So let's do that for now so I can click on that update, is going to update all of my headings. And now the asterix will disappear. But let's say I want to do another modification. Let's say I want to change the font size to a smaller size. I can actually go here and highlight that. And let's make this slightly smaller instead of 16, I'm going to use a 14 size. And now again, I've got my asterix there, which basically tells me I've done an amendment, done in editing and also have an update. So I'm going to press Update and that will apply to all of my other headings. Let's click on Update now. And now everything else we'd heading 2 will be changed to font 14th. And as you notice throughout my document, they're all the same size now, 14141414. Perfect. If I want to apply this to single characters or single words, I can just highlight something and say I want to highlight. So I want to highlight the word nature when I double-click on it. Now I want to perhaps make that bold or italic perhaps. And now if I wanted to change that into paragraph style, I could actually press it, update by. If I do that, what's happening is is going to change all the default tax. So all the texts across my document will be bolded and italic. I don't really want. So make sure you don't press Update only for a single character. Otherwise, it's going to change the entire document, which really we don't want to do that. We probably something you could do is to perhaps highlight that and create a character style. Instead, it can go here down below in your inspector and perhaps you want to press the Plus button to create a new style just for that word nature with that sort of bold and italic size 12, perhaps you want to add that in. You can do that by pressing the plus button and rename that for instance, Bold 12, PT point. Perhaps you want to use that and press return. And this is how to create a new style, the character styles. So you might want to do that, so do not update that. Otherwise it's going to do this. So if I press that now and press Update, everything will be bolded, which I don't really want to do that. So I'm going to press Edit here on top and I click on Undo to go back to the previous view. So make sure that you don't affect the entire paragraph style only for a single word by just go to crack the styles for that. Saving your character styles, paragraph styles can actually save you a lot of time, especially after you finish the document. And you want to make everything look consistent by just clicking a button and just with a couple of clicks, you can make your document look beautiful. 28. Creating styles: Let's now save some styles into our document. We already covered this in the previous lessons, but I'm gonna kinda reiterate deaths as well on this one. And we're using the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius, 014. Is you following up? So we're gonna go into one of these heading here. So we already created new heading, but let's say I want to amend these even further and say I want to make this a little bit bigger. Let's say up to 16. And also want to make sure that the spacing a bit further away from my paragraph, let's say 14 points and 14 points above that as well. Now as you notice, my heading 2 now has an asterix because we amended and also we have an update. So instead of updating the existing heading 2, I might want to keep that and I want to create a new one from scratch. So in order to do that, I can go to the arrow here next to my paragraph style. I've got the heading 2 here by I want to add a new one. So I press the plus button at the top right hand corner of my little window here. And it is going to create a new heading, is going to call a heading for bang on and change that to perhaps I'm going to name it Title, title, name. And I'll press return. And that is going to be saved as my new style. So now I can go to a different title here. I can go to the top again, and I can choose title, name. And that will change as well. I can go to the third one again, go to my paragraph styles and click on that as well. So I can go through all of them and change them all with my title name. And I don't have any anything else at the moment. So this is the way to save your styles. Whether you want to do it in paragraph styles, whether you want to do it in character styles as well. Got the plus button here on the top. And also for your bullet, you can go to bullet list here on top. And you have the plus button on top right-hand corner as well if you want to create a new bullet styles. So now you have all tools. Uh, you need to create your own styles for your document to make it look beautiful, to make it even easier for you to add it if you want to readjust the way the document looks by make your own personalized styles. 29. Rename, delete and Share styles: When we create a new styles on our document. And you have all of your personalized styles here like we did before. We're tidal name. This will only apply for these specific document. If I open a new document, a new blank document, for instance, these styles, these customized 11 be there. So one of the way for me to save this styles for it, the next documents I'm going to create, I would have to basically save this document as a template. Now if I go to file, I've got an option to save this as a template by if I do that now is going to save my document again as my templates, but then is going to also save this text which I don't really need for my next document. I only need to have these styles that I saved here and all the other settings that I might have in my inspector. So in this case, yeah, What I would do, I will probably duplicate this first. So I'm going to have a copy. Once I have the copy, I can actually highlight everything, all the texts that I've got here by using to Edit and select all. And then I press the backspace to delete it. And then I can just go on top and news Save as Template. And I can go to Add to template chooser. They will create another category down below here called My Templates. And I can change this to be cold, for instance, blank, weird styles and press return. So now when I open it up and I go to Styles, I've got the styles that I saved including title name. If I go and close that and then go back to my file and new a phi open a new document from the basics. Click on Blank. I double-click that, I open it and then go to my character styles. You notice I don't have my title name there. How don't have any of these settings. So this is starts from scratch. So in one app, any of my styles and saved, so make sure you save your document as style and you do this trick. You actually delete the content and then you save it as templates. So you will be able to use this over and over throughout your document. Now let me just close this empty document. I'm going to just press Delete or the need that to have that as a copy, I can go back here. And if I click on my styles, my character styles on top. When I hover the cursor on any of these styles, I can actually access. There are options to see the little arrow next to the style and say I want to go to the heading red here, I can click on the little arrow next to it. And I've got an option here to rename that style. I want to rename it. I can click on that and give it a different name. Otherwise, you just let go and leave it as it is. Or you can go back into your character styles and other thing you can do if I click on the arrow here next to it, I can also delete that style. So if I click on Delete, it's going to come up with a little message here on the top middle of the screen. It says the sky you want to delete is used in the document. Choose a style to replace it. So I can actually go here and choose a. Let's say I'm going to choose a body empress a K, or if you don't care, you just press cancel and that will ignore this option. And this case I'm going to just use it as a buddies and click on, Okay. And then you can carry on working and you can carry on going into your styles and delete the one you're not going to use by using these options here, delete. You can also use the shortcuts. You have an option to go and shortcuts and choose between F1 to F8. So you can use a keyboard to that. So that could be quite handy to have the style that way. There you go. This is how to manage your styles, how to save them, how to save your document as a template so you can use it for future projects. And also how to rename, delete, and manage your styles. 30. Assigning Shortcut to styles: If you use certain styles more than others, you might want to have a shortcut key assigned to them. And I kind of mentioned about this in the previous lesson, but I'm going to show you how to do this here. So if I go into a style that I'm going to use, often say I'm going to use this title name quite often. We kind of rename that already and we create a new style. So if I click on the little arrow next to it, I can see title name is being created here in a previous lesson, we've done that. So if you want to know how to do it, just go the previous lesson and find out by now if I want to create a shortcut, I can actually click on the little arrow next to it. And now here I've got an option to create a shortcuts. As you notice, I've got F1 all the way to F eight, which I can actually use if I want to assign that to. So I'm going to leave F1 for now. I'm going to go to F2 and assign that as my shortcut. Now as you notice, my style has an F2 next to it, so I'm going to just use another one as well. I'm going to use the subtitle here. I'm going to go into the paragraph style. I'm going to click on the little arrow next to it. And I'm going to also assign a shortcut for that. And as you notice now f2 is grayed out because we already used it. I'm going to use F3 for that. And now that is assigned as well. Now if I want to go down here, let's say I want to assign a paragraph style to, let's say this contact information title. I'm going to click anywhere there. And I can just do F2, for instance, new function F2. And it will apply my title name or F3 for UPS. I want to have that in a different format or quite like actually that style. I'm going to leave it like this. So this is the way to assign shortcuts to your styles by using the F1, F8 keys. 31. Pagination and Brakes: Let's have a look now at how we can improve the layout of our documents by using pagination and breaks. Now you might have noticed, if I scroll down here and this document, by the way, I'm using the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius o 17, if you following up, if I scroll down here and page number 2, you notice I've got the beginning of this paragraph with the title is going to start here. And then I've got a couple of lines and I'm going to jump to the next page. Sometimes you might want to keep a paragraph together. And one of the things that we have already enabled in pages is to avoid to have just one line starting up on the end of a page, for instance, and the rest of the paragraph, new page and vice versa. You might have a, an entire paragraph starting at the bottom of the page and then the last line of that paragraph starting at the beginning of a new page. So these are called widows and orphans lines. So we can actually check these feature on the inspector if I click anywhere in my document and I go to my inspect on the format. And if I go into my more here, the third tab here, you'll notice I've got an option for pagination and breaks. And down below I've got prevent. We do an orphan lines enabled who's not enabled? You can actually click on it. So that will basically avoid a single line to be left alone into a page and then the rest starting after. So I'm going to leave that as is, but let's say I want to keep these paragraph together so what I could do, I can click anywhere in the paragraph. And I've got a bunch of options here. So I've got, for instance, keep lines on the same page. So I could do that by clicking on it. And that will basically make that paragraph together by still have this title on top here that I need to fix and I want to keep it with the rest of the paragraph. I'm going to just fix that in a second, but for now and just untick that box for now, just to go back here. And the next things I've got is keep with next paragraph. So this will basically keep, for instance, a title with the next paragraph for the paragraph down below. The third one here is start paragraph on a new page. So I can use, for instance, that option as well. I can click anywhere here has already clicked and click on Start paragraph or a new page. And then we'll do the same thing that it does, keep lines on the same page. So if I leave it as is, and now want to unite these two together, the title and the paragraph, I can click on the paragraph that on top. And now as you can see the page, the pagination and breaks changes accordingly where you click and if I click on keep with next paragraph, this in theory should keep these titled together with the paragraph 55. Do that now. What it does, it will move that down, but then the paragraph be shifted to the new page, which we don't really want. So I'm going to just go to edit and undo that. And undo that again, capital times. Now I can go here again, and instead of using start paragraph on a new page for this paragraph, I'm going to use Keep Lines on same page. So if I click on that, now that is going to jump to the next page. But now if I go back into my title here on top, I can actually say keep with next paragraph and that will basically keep that title with the paragraph down below. So you have to play around and experiment with this functions here because sometimes the formatting of your lectures might look different than mine. So make sure, uh, you experiment with this options. If I scroll down here in page 3, I also have another issue of God, the paragraph 10 here, which has a couple of lines, come left alone in the new page. So I can actually click anywhere there. And I can keep the texts, keep aligns on the same page. So if I do that is going to jump into the new page directly. So are rather keep a little bit of space here and have the paragraph altogether. And this is kind of a subjective is up to you how you want to keep it. But this is the way you can clean your document and keep it a little bit more consistent. So for instance, here at the bottom I've got another paragraph that I want to actually keep with the rest of my contact. Perhaps I want to have that at the bottom. Perhaps I want to have the content by itself is up to you. So if I want to now click there, I can actually start that in the new page, start paragraph in a new page. And that what it does, it will move that with the next paragraph down below. So this is kind of clean up a little bit my document. It actually looks better than before, and I can do more adjustment of course here. But this is how you can use pagination and breaks by playing around with these four options that we have under more on the APA format inspector. 32. Headers and Footers: If you have content that you need to repeat in every page of your document, or perhaps certain sections of it, like a title or page numbers or perhaps footnotes. You probably have to deal with headers and footers. And that's what we're going to cover it in these video. We're going to be using the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius. O 18 if you're following up. So let's make sure that we have the same view. We have now our title here. We also have the layout lines he has, as you know, is I've got this line goes all the way to all my pages. And you also see this footer down below with the number of the page. So you should be able to see that. Now if you don't see the layout or introducing people to view at the top on the menu bar. And make sure you actually show the layout if it says Hide means he already showing it. So if I click on Hide now the lines will disappear. And also my footer line will disappear and will only appear if I hover the cursor over the footer or the header, if I have the header, now I'm going to go back into view. And I'm going to turn these on again, show layout by the wave is Shift Command L for layout. And now we're gonna go into the inspector and the document document. The tab is sub tab here document. And you'll notice now I've got my footer, which is at our favorite off of an inch from the bottom. And we also have the Hadza, which is actually an ticked. Now at the moment I don't have any header here, but if I wanted to include that, I can click on Header. And now I've got my hair there here, which will appear in each of my pages. Now I can actually add page numbering or titles throughout all my document. Or I can actually add certain titles, certain headers only on certain sections if I want it to, which is very handy. Perhaps if I use this first page as my cover or may not want to see the page numbering here. So what I can do here, I can actually make this invisible or can actually start to count from page number 2, especially if you write a book or a little booklet or ebooks, you might want to know how to do that. So so we're gonna go into the inspector and the documents, make sure you click on section. And here in section I've got an option to hide first page of section, so that will hide my page numbering in half. Or if I click on that, it's going to hide data from the first page. And if I go to page number 2, and if I scroll down, I should be able to see page number two by can also start counting my pages from these page. And I can actually use page number one instead. So if I want to do that, I can go here again under the Inspector. Make sure you go into start at and then you just make sure you start at one and this case is going to start at one. And then if I go to page 2 and it's going to carry on page two, page three, page four. What about we want to have the page number at the top and the legal title or something here written down at the bottom. I could do that as well. Let's get rid of this numbering so I'm going to click on that. I'm going to press backspace to get rid of it. And as you can see, the inspector, which is context-sensitive, will also get rid of the numbering down. And I'm going to go into the header. I'm going to make sure I'm gonna hide the header. It's already had, it will go to Documents inspector, my head there is editor ready and I can have it also the same distance if I wanted to, by just moving these arrows at the moment is there's a 0.49 inches, but I can call it a bit down if I wanted to or up. I'm going to leave it up for now, 0.5 would do. And then I'm going to click on that. So if I, if I do that, you'll notice I've got this little window. A little window comes up here. It says insert page number. Now with new pages, you have three different section within the header or the footer. So I can actually decide to have the page number all the way to the left or to the center, or on the right is really up to you. So I'm going to put the page numbering actually year on the left. I'm going to click on Insert number. And now I've got a bunch of options that allows me to actually add a number or the number of the page, of the total of the page, or the words page 2, or even page 2 of 5 for instance. So that's the grit to, um, I want to have that might if it comes up with the option that we chosen before in our inspector comes up with page number one there for go to the section here my inspector is starts from 1. A kinda remembers the last option that we chosen. Perfect. Now at the bottom I want my, want to write something here. And my footer, I might want to have something in the center. Perhaps I can just start to type. I'm going to click on that and start to type something that you type that you can actually go on top just to verify if that one is being added to the first page, which is not which is perfect. So I'm going to go to the second one. I've got that. And now if I go down to the other pages, I noticed that that footer is repeated for all of my pages. That's what I wanted. Perfect. So I'm going to go on top here. Another thing you can do, if I click on this page thumbnail here on the left-hand side, just make sure that you highlight it and you see the yellow frame around it. Now these sectioning here in the inspector will be independent for each section. So if I click on that section here, I can apply that headers and footers options only on that page and in the following ones that are attached to their section. In this case here page number to use a section which as other three page breaks underneath. And that's why you see the little shuttled area behind the pages. If you have a previous version of pages, you might see a yellow frame going around the entire section, or you might see this page is slightly smaller. The page break might be smaller. In this case, you have got the latest version of pages, so it's going to show me the thumbnails all the same. Perfect. When I click on page number 2. And if I want to hide, for instance, the number on this page number two and from page number three, for instance, I could do that as well. I can go into the section, I can click on Hide on first page of section, and then it will disappear from these first page. And if I go to page number 2, of course going to see the number 2 page here. And again, I can do the same thing here. I can actually change the position of my page number, whatever I want. I'm going to leave it as is. I can actually leave the page numbering on page number 2. So if I want to do that, I just hunt tick the box in my inspector Hi Don. First page section and then the page numbering will reappear. So this area here on the inspector, the section area will apply for each section you got. So at this document at the moment as two sections. The first section is our page one, which is blank. In section two, is our page number two with the title and all the page breaks below. So it doesn't footers can save you a lot of time, especially if you want to type something down below and you want to repeat it all the way throughout your document. You can also highlight and change the style of your footer or header by just clicking on it and say I'm going to triple-click. Then by the way, if you want to double-click a word, is highlighting only one word. If I wanted to highlight the entire row or the entire paragraph, I can triple click and it will highlight the whole row. In this case, I can go back into my format in my inspector here on the top right hand corner. And I can change the style here. I can use a different font, perhaps I might want to have in Arial font, which is very plain. And perhaps I want to have a smaller size because I'm going to have to have that big, necessarily big. I can actually have a quite small, actually, I can have it to perhaps at, Let's leave it at 10. And everything else, of course, will be changed as well. So use adders and footers wisely because it can actually save you a lot of time, especially if you need to repeat things around your document. 33. Using Columns: One other way to make your text look great and easy to read is by using columns. You might have noticed NYC magazines or newspapers. Articles were Chuck sorted in columns. So when you read an article, you never go from the left all the way to the right of the page. You're always kind of have a very narrow columns and that makes it very easy to read and you have less eye strain as well. So we're going to do the same thing in pages here. If I wanted to make the entire document in two or more columns, will introduce simply select everything. So I'm going to use the shortcut command, a bar for those of you who don't like shortcuts, you can go to add it and you can go to Select All. So this will select the entire document. And now in my inspector, I'm going to make sure you hire him format. And under Layout, you should be able to see something called columns. Now if you have any other tab open, just close it and make sure you click on the triangle next two columns, so you'll see it open. And now I can actually choose the number of columns I want in this little box where it says multiple, I can choose, for instance, two or three or more. I can also use the arrow. I'm going to use the arrows now here on the site, I'm going to click on that. And now as you notice, the entire document is in two columns. Now if I click away or anywhere in the background of my document just to de-select. And notice that the sum of these pages don't look great. And I would have to probably do some fixing here, some editing. And by the way, I'm using the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 99. If you're following up, I'm gonna go back here to page number 2, and I'm going to actually undo this by going to Edit and press Undo or just use a shortcut Command Z. Now I'm going to deselect my text and I can actually make certain section or certain paragraph or certain area of my document into columns without affecting the rest of the document. And that's what I'm gonna do now. I'm going to try and to highlight the first two paragraphs here. I'm gonna go to here and highlight the whole section. Make sure when you do that Dell, you select up to the full stop. Are you done? Actually highlight the higher the return otherwise is going to create an empty space which you we don't want. So I'm going to make sure you highlight that. And then we're gonna go into our Inspector and the format layout. And as you notice here, I've got one column which is actually the entire document with here, which is 6 by 26 inches. So I can change that now to column to by using the arrows. And only the first section now is in two columns. Now I've got a problem. First of all, I've got these quotes here, which is quite too narrow. And I also have this paragraph which is quite close to the stack, so I will have to fix this. So before I do that, I'm going to undo that or I'll just press back to the one column and I have to fix these quotes. First of all, I'm going to deselect by clicking on the background. I'm going to show you, I click before the quote and a press backspace until I go back to the same line as my paragraph just to make everything even. And perhaps I'm going to also use another space there to go back where I was. So now I can actually go back into the column, are going to highlight again the two columns together up to the full stop. I'm going to go back to the column and increase it to two. Okay, now I click away from the tax just with the select and see how it looks. It looks much better, better than before. One thing that I can do now is simply click on the other paragraph down below the Providence, and I press Return just to leave a little bit more space in between the columns and the next paragraph's. Perfect. So at this it looks great. And also one thing that you see in the new pages version is that it will automatically add these feature which is equal column width, and it will automatically tick that box for you. So if I highlight this again, and I want to make a column larger than the other one. If I have this ticked and one, let me change the column width from here, I would have to uncheck that first and then I can use the single numbers here to make them largest hole for isn't for. Wanna make the first column larger than the second one. Can go here, double-click on that and use, for instance, 3.5 inches. Press Return. And now the first columns is larger. If I want to go back to the equal columns with and just tick that box again, and it will fix it for me. One thing that I can do also men, I use multiple columns. I can also change the gutter, so that is the distance between the two columns or the columns themselves. So I can go here and double-click on that and say I want to have a little bit more distance and say I want to do is 0.4 and press return. So I've got a little bit more distance there. Perfect. So I'm going to click away. I'm going to scroll down. Actually, by the way, I've got the subtitle here, which is quite close to the columns. I'm going to basically hit the return key. And you could do that or you can just change the paragraph styles, subtitles to have more distance is really up to you how you want to do it and just press return for a question of time. So I'm going to just scroll down here. And let's go down and see if we can change something else. Now I added some text in this document. So if you go all the way down here, you should be able to see it down below, which is the guided tours for schools and also guided tours, groups, etc. So all these stacks can actually be sorted in columns. So what I'm gonna do, I'm going to highlight it first. I'm gonna get all this stuff just up to the full stop. Now I'm gonna go to my inspector. I'm going to choose two columns here. Perfect. Sometimes you might have some empty spaces. In this case, I've got this. If I move the stuff around and I started to move perhaps the spaces to get rid of them. Pages, we always tried to make your columns even. But what about, I've got some column which are longer than the other one. Perhaps I've got the first column here which is longer than the second number. Perhaps I want to have the last section here deleted. So I've got an hour to uneven columns, but I can actually add here a column break. So we talked about page breaks, section breaks, and now we also have an option to add column breaks. So if I'm going to insert here and the top, I can actually add a column break. And by the way, you can also use the menu bar on top and go to Insert Column Break. So if I click on that, it's going to basically add that section that I highlighted into the second column just to make the two even. So let's leave it as it is. Scroll up a little bit. We're going to do a little bit of adjustment also on D section here. So I'm going to go highlight the entire section here, up to here. And by the way, Don highlight the hired return. We're going to go all the way up here. And we're going to also add two columns. And by the way, when you create two columns, I always leave the next paragraph very close to each other, so awake and doing just click on that press Return and make sure you have that section separate. But we still have the problem now that that paragraph is kind of going through the bottom of the page and then restarting here. If you don't like that, now you know how to do it. You can actually go into the inspector. The more. And now I can start a paragraph on new page if I wanted to. And if I do that now, that will start in the new page. Now, if I just scroll down a bit just to check if everything looks great and okay. Oh, by the way, this doesn't look right at all. So we're going to click on that. And now we're going to start that into new, new page. And again, that is something you can fix easily call now my document looks great. And again, you can create multiple columns in certain sections of your document. Use this feature rigors. It's very easy for you to make your document easier to read. 34. Auto updated fields: In previous lessons, we'll learn how to add page numbering into our pages here in our header. There are also other fields that we can add to our documents that will automatically update. So we're going to add them down below here. So for instance, if I want to have a field right below the contact, so I might want to have risks and the date last modified. And if I want to add that, I'm going to go into insert on the top. I'm going to click on date and time. If you want to change the format of your date and time, make sure you go to System Preferences under date and time and you change it from that. Now we can also add something else, gumbo. And by the way, this would change every time you open the document that will give you the right date. The other one is, for instance, is number of pages in a section. So you can also add now took him go to Insert again. And I've got an option to page count. We already know about page number. Page count will count the number of pages within a section, not the entire document, just in a section. This will automatically update while you go through the document. Of course. Of course, we all waiting for having other auto entry fields in the future with the future updates. But at the moment we have page number, page count, and date and time. 35. Using Section and Page Breaks: Now if you're writing a book or a novel, or you're writing a long documents, you might want to know how to use sections more wisely. So in this video, I'm gonna show you how to use section breaks and page breaks as well. Now, at the moment we have two sections. We have the first section here into this document by where I'm using the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 21, if you following up. So the first section here on the thumbnails is my page number one. And by the way, if you can see the thumbnails, you can go to View and make sure you have page thumbnails ticked in. We could also go to view and a top left here and use Page Thumbnails just first option. Once you see this thumbnails on the side, you'll notice when you click on a section, you'll see this little yellow frame around it. Now in a new version of pages, you'll see also Leila shuttered area in the background. At the moment, I only see one page. But if I click on the second page, which is another section, you'll notice these section here as also these other page breaks down below this entire section here as five pages in total. We have four page breaks. So these are page breaks which are part of the same section. And the moment the only up the first page here selected where this yellow frame around it. If you have a previous versions of pages, you might see that yellow frame going around all of your sections, including your page breaks. And you might see the page breaks here down below, little bit smaller. But in the new version of pages they decided to have its bigger. All the same width, which is fine. But you see this little shadowed area in the background that kind of delineate where the page sections is. And this case I've got four or five pages. So if I want to, for instance, move page number 4 all the way to the beginning before this white page. And I tried to drag it. So if I do that now what it's doing is actually grouping the entire section with me and is actually moving the entire section rather than just page for this because that page is a page break and does not let you move it around that is locked with the entire section. I can move this section around and I can move it to vary. And the very top or at the bottom by cannot move individual page breaks around. So let's say I want to go at the bottom here. And by the way, I'm going to just make a little modification here. I've got these two columns. Looks, don't look really great here in this page I'm going to go into my inspector on the format. I'm gonna go two more. I'm going to start this paragraph in the new page. That looks much better. Okay, Let's go all the way down here. I'm going to click anywhere in the bottom of the page, make sure you have a blinking cursor there. And then we're going to add a new section break. So I'm going to go into insert in my toolbar and add a new section break. I can also go into my Insert and it's OK menu bar and use section break. So if I do that now, I actually have another section down below here. And by the way, when you insert a new section break and doesn't matter where you are in your document. I can actually be, for instance, in page number three and then go into Insert. I can actually insert a section and that section will be added at the bottom of my document. So let's go back down here as you notice now, Section 2 gives me this shadowed area around it until page number 6. And then we have page number seven, which is a completely different section so that if I click on it now, that one is independent, I can actually move it around. If I drag it, I can move it around to my other sections. I can have it all the way at the top, in the middle anywhere I want. So let's say I'm going to keep it there. And as you notice now, the page numbering is starting from one by one. The sexual do have a continuation. I want to have, for instance, page number six, and it looks like it doesn't. So if I click somewhere here in the page and I'm going to my inspector on the document. And under section now I can see I've got headers and footers and also a page numbering. At the moment this starts at one, I actually want to be a continuation, so I'm going to click on Continue it from previous section. And that's what I want now I've got page number six and also have the option to match the previous section. And that's what I want. I want to match the same format from previous section because it's a continuation. So this is perfect. If you're writing a book, you might want to have different sections for different chapters. And then perhaps in a future you might want to move that section in a different area. I can also create a new section here on the inspector by clicking on create a new section and add a new section after this section. But I can actually do that also in insert here as well, section break or page break if I want to carry on with that chapter, for instance, now if I want to type more text here, if I want to add another page break here in my chapter, I can actually go to Insert and create a page break here. So if I go down, now I've got a page break down below here. If I click on that. Now these two pages are shadowed together, highlight it together. So these is because they're part of the same section. So always make sure before you writing your book or starting to writing your chapters that you actually create your sections. Remind yourself that you can actually move around. The sections are not the page breaks because page breaks will be locked together into a section. 36. Creating Footnotes: If you writing a book or an article or a big project in your document, you might want to reference certain sections to the respective alters or respected magazines perhaps, or respective books. If you're taking something from somewhere else and you want to reference through them. So one way to do that is by using footnotes. So let's say I want to reference the section here to a book. Actually took the entire section here of this document from a book, thoughts of Marcus Aurelius. So I might want to reference that book in here. And one other way to do that is by using the footnotes. So I'm going to go down here. And in fact, what I did, I actually added the excerpt from Emperor of Rome, Marcus Aurelius, thoughts of macros or alias. So I can actually have that as a footnote rather than me typing it manually down here. And by the way, I'm using the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 22 issues following up. So I'm going to highlight this and I'm going to cut it out. So command X, we can go to Edit and cut it out from there. So I copied in my clipboard. So before we create a footnote, we have to basically highlight a section first. So let's say I wanna get the first particle, the second part here from Providence. I want to click at the beginning of that and I want to add a footnote from here. So what I'm gonna do and go to Insert now, I can go to footnote. And as soon as I do that now a note has been inserted down below here. You also know something else happened. So some of the paragraph moved out here in the second page to make some space for my footnotes, which is fine. So now I've got this number one here. And you also notice I've got a number 1, which is a superscript, which is a little mini font here, just above my word Providence, which appears there. So now I can actually type the reference down below here. I just copied it and cut it out. So I can actually do Command V to paste it there. And I can make this slightly smaller so I can highlight the whole section, but I'm going to leave the number one unselected. I want to make sure that it matches with my title that on top. And then I'm going to go into my format, my inspector, and the style. I'm gonna make this smaller. Let's say I want to go to number eight. Yeah, 8. Who would do that is it's not particularly away from there. I can actually have my footnote done. Now if I want to go and reference something else, I can go down here. And let's say I want to reference a specific point here. It's, I want to go to point number 9. And let's say a one to reference. From here, I'm going to click at the beginning of that sentence. Or you could also do this at the beginning of a word. Is I really up to you? I'm gonna do that and I'm going to go back again into Insert and create other footnote. What that does, it's going to add number 2 is going to count it for me other than half to actually keep note of are many footnotes I created and I've got my superscript here just before the sentence with the number 2. Perfect. And now I can go down here and I'm going to just copy and paste the same reference for now. And I'm going to make that reference a little smaller. Again, got to point number eight, but you can have any other reference that you like. And that is how you add footnotes throughout your document. And this will also count how many footnotes you create throughout the entire project. 37. Table of Content: If you write a long document or a book, or even a book glad to or manual, you might want to have a table of content that will help your reader to actually jump two separate sections or certain chapters throughout your document. In order to do that, we need to kind of fix some of the things we have in our document here, using the thoughts of markers are used or 23, if you are following up. And if I scroll down here and I check my paragraph styles, I need to see if these are some sort of consistency. So let's have a look. I've got my title here. If I click anywhere that it's going to show me on the paragraph styles and my inspector and she's actually title when I go to the subtitle. Okay. And then I've got these legal as chapters or legal titles here, which actually titled name. Let's go to the second one here is my title name again, perfect. Now scroll down and see if my providence here is the same. It is the same. Perfect. I'm going to go down here. So make sure that they have the same style. I do have their same style here, but you might have separate paragraph styles. Let's go to the other one here. Okay, These got title name by his cause, some override. So I can actually make sure that asterix disappeared because I want to make sure that I've got exactly the sign that I want. So in this case here, if I want to have some spacing in between the title and the paragraph, I can actually update that and that will update all of my title name, styles. Let's do that. I'm gonna do that now. And if I go up again, Let's see what happened there. Something up and actually kinda messed up my document here. So don't panic if something like the app and you can go back into edit and undo that. To go, to go back to this previous View and make sure that you actually apply this to the rest of your other styles. So fluorescent go back here on top. Now one has title name. So if I go down here, so as an asterix perhaps I want to change that. So I'm just wanna make sure that one is not updated. So I'm going to leave it as title name has been amended, but it's fine. I'll leave it like that. And we'll go down here. Let's have a look at this one titled name again is called an override by its fine. And the rest is also down here, the guided tour, perhaps I want to change that as well from default to title name. Okay, and then I want to also jump of that section down below. So I'm going to go into my more here and my specter when I start the paragraph and the new page. Perfect. Kind of no meat trying to redefine all of this. And then we're going to go down a little bit more. I'm going to also change the contact information to change that back to title, name, document formation. Again, the same thing. You're going to go into our inspector and we're going to change subtitle to title name as well. So everything looks consistent, perfect. Now that we've done our adjustment, I can still kind of repair and make things look better buffer now I just want to add my table of contents. So usually you want to add our table of contents just before our first chapter, in this case, this page. So what I am doing to just click at the beginning of the title there with my cursor. And I'm going to go into insert at the top here on the menu bar. I'm going to go into Table of Contents, which gives me three different options. The first one is to apply the table of content to the entire document. The second, and we'll create a table content only foot that section, specific section and the other one down below test to the next occurrences means it's going to create a table of content till the next table of contents. If I have more than one, in this case you only have one actually and don't have anyone yet. So I'm going to just use the entire documents on top and click on that. So what it does, it will create a separate page before my chapter 1. And I've got my table of contents magically appearing because all my styles where now fixed. I've got all my chapters now here. If some of your styles not appear, or if you see more than certain style that you were expecting to see, you can actually fix that into your inspector here. So if you go into the format here on the top right-hand corner, you have now Table of Contents. And if I click anywhere inside the table of content to highlighted, I can actually go into range. I can even change the range if I decided to changed my mind and say I want to do it for this section. I can do that from here until the next table of content. You can still change those settings there. I can also click on Customize styles. Let's click on that. So as you notice now, in my paragraph styles, it looks like the table of contents is including anything that is highlighted in heading, anything that is been set as heading to that title name that we did just now. And also Heading 3, I don't want to have included into my table of contents, I'm going to untick dose and I'm going to just leave title name in it. The only my chapters name will be included in my table of content. Now that I've done there, I also have an optional top to change a little bit of textile. So I can go to text are on top and I can change the font style if I wanted to. Now I'm going to leave it as it is, but I want to have a nice title at the top. So what I'm gonna do, I'm going to click on the left-hand side of my table of content. And you see this huge blinking cursor here. And I'll press the Return a couple of times just to leave a little space. And I click on top to actually type my own text. Now, I can actually use a different paragraph style. And at the moment I'm using title here. And I can actually type table of content. Now if it's too big, I could actually make that smaller by just go into the paragraph style and choosing something else, perhaps something that is not titled name or the y's, if I choose that, is going to include that into my paragraph style. There we go here, which I don't want. So I'm going to go back into the paragraph style and choose something else and say I want to have, for instance, heading, perfect. Now I want to have that centralized and then go to Alignment. Make it centralized, and perhaps press return a couple of times to make it slightly distance from the rest of my table of contents. And by the way, once you create a table of content like this, if I hover the cursor over these numbers here, you'll see a little index, a little hand cursor there, that will let me just jump into that section automatically say if I go into existence of the gods here, I can click on page number 4 and it will jump into page number four. So if I now export this as a PDF and I want to send it to someone, that table content will be interactive. So this is the way to create your table of contents. Play around and personalize your document to make it even easier to navigate. 38. Inserting Column breaks: If you're following up open document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 24, we just need to basically fix something in our columns here. We're going to insert a column breaks because we have this existing off the gods now here, which has these two columns which are very uneven. So we would have to basically fix that. And one other way to fix that is by using insert column breaks. So we're going to go into point number 7. It looks like we're going to drag that into this other section here. In order to add a new column breaks, you have to click at the beginning of that column. And then we're gonna go into Insert now a toolbar and insert a column break. I can also go into the Insert on my, on my menu bar on top and use column breaks from here. So if I do that now, now that column is going to be balanced out with the rest of my text. So it looks much better than before. And now everything is kinda even so, which is good. And this is the way to fix your columns using column breaks. 39. Navigate quickly across pages: So now that we have the table of contents, we can actually navigate our books of a document much easier by going into the second page here and just clicking on this link. But what about you have hundreds of pages and perhaps you want to go through certain pages and you want to then navigate quickly to another page by using the table of content. Now pages offers you a new view. On the top left-hand corner, under View, you can actually see the table of contents up here. So you can actually click on it. And now we see the table of contents on the sidebar here. And I can click, and I can click on any of this chapters to jump directly to the right place. So this will save you a lot of time, especially if you have lots of chapters and lots of pages or you have to deal with, and you want to quickly access to your table of content wherever you are. 40. A Brief look at templates: Okay, In this module we're going to dive into the templates that we have available in pages. So if you have anything open, just close them up and then go back into page stumbled on your dock. And we're going to click on it. And then instead of choosing one of our documents, we're going to click on new document here down below, we can go on top of the menu bar on the file and create a new document by using, by using the first option, will just use the shortcut Command N to start. So when you do that, you should be able to see this template chooser. Let's make little bit bigger by dragging the corners. Now, in the previous versions of pages, we used to have two different kinds of documents. We used to have word processing document and page layout documents. So the word processing documents are purely for taxed, the one that we've been working so far in our lesson. So everything has to do with tax, with body of texts. Perhaps you want to have adders and footers or table of contents. That sort of stuff is done in Word processing mode. If you want to do something more graphics, Let's say you want to add more images. You want to create a brochure, you want to create a postures. You want to create something that is totally graphic and move text around with textboxes. We working on Page Layout. Now the new versions of pages are not showing us anymore those two categories, everything kind of a mixed together by how do we tell if a document is a page layout or a word processing one? So I'm going to scroll down here, I'm going to choose a couple of this. So as you can see, I've got quite a few different documents here. I've got lots of categories on the left-hand side. But let's go into, for instance, something like letters. So if I click on one of these letters, he go into modern letter. I'm going to click on shoes down below here, bottom right-hand corner. So if I click on this and I click on the actual tax, you'll notice this is a place holder tax, so I can actually type over my own tax if I wanted to. So this looks like DO is a word processing, but to make sure this is actually a word processing, Let's have a look at the other elements we have here on our letter can click on top. And this is also look like a place, all the text on top here also, we have a text box. Actually, there could actually be, there's a page layout, but we're not still Sure. Let's click down below here on this information that also look like a textbox. Just to double-check is this is a word processing or page layout format that we're going to go into file. And we're going to actually see here down below it says Convert and page layout. So this is actually a word processing document which has some text boxes on top of it. So in this case, I'm not going to change this to page layout two because if I do that, it will basically get rid of all my text body, the IEP, which is could be a disaster if you start to type a document and then you decide you want to change that to a different format in the page layout or word processing is gonna give me a warning that I'm going to lose the content within the document. So it's a good practice to start with the right format before you even start to type your document. So in this case, this is a word processing document. So I'm going to close this, I'm going to open another one. Let's go back to file and new. And let's scroll down here. Let's go actually to a different style. It's cool to see newsletters, for instance, I'm going to click on one of these new electricity to the serif newsletter, gonna double-click on that. So as you notice here, I've got some images as well. So if I click on this image, I know is I've got this little symbol here at the bottom right-hand corner that allows me to add my own images so I can actually go into these taxi if I click on the text, looks like this is a textbox. Okay, This is another clue that could be a page layout. Let's go down here. So this looks like Dell. It's part of the document body. So it could be actually a word processing document. As you notice, I've got all this text placeholder that I can actually replace by typing on it. And again, this is the same. So if I go back into my file, I also have the option to convert to page layout. This is another word processing document. I'm going to close that. Let's go back to File and New, and let's search for something else, more graphic backups. Let's go into flyers and posters. And this looks very, very graphic. So I'm going to go into something like that for sale flyers. When I double-click on that, I'll click on Choose here. It's up to you. Open up that. So I'm going to click on there again. These looks like an image placeholder on top of another protects box that are down below is also a textbox and looks like a page layout. So that's verified that go to file. And as you can see now it says Convert to word processing. So if I do that is going to then convert that into a proper word processing document, the Merryman, you have these two kind of documents when you open a new templates. So make sure you are in the right place before you start to type anything. In the next video, I'm gonna show you more about templates and we're going to dive deep to customize them the way we want. 41. Changing images: Now that we know the difference between word processing documents and page layout documents, let's explore the templates a little bit more and find out what objects or elements we have within a template. Perhaps you might have some images or some text or some shapes as well, the lines. So let's go into pages done below. And we're gonna open a new document or we can go to the file on top new or use the shortcut Command N. Open your template user. And now we're going to scroll down. And I'm going to find something like graphic, but also a little bit with some images that we can actually play with. So it's going to Serif newsletter, so I'm going to double-click on that. So you'll find these latter in their exercise files and also the images we're going to work on this video or you can just watch me doing it. And then later as an exercise, you can try do it on your own. At the moment, we've got here this document, which is actually a word processing document. And why do I know this? Because I actually explored this before, but you can actually just click into the tax form and find out that actually this text is a placeholder text with no borders around it. So if you see here next to it, there's a textbox. Textbox because I've got a frame around it with these white dots. So that is a clue that that one is a textbox, but this one here definitely is embedded into the document itself. And I also see when I hover the cursor over this document, I've got the footer coming up. And if I go on top of also the header. So in page layout, I don't have Edison footers, our app to create everything from scratch. It's like having a white canvas and you start to paint something on top of it. There's no format in word processing. You have a farmer to have margins. You have the ruler that you saw before that you can actually move the margins around. You have actually a blinking cursor. As soon as you click on the white document. In a page layout, you don't have anything yet to start from scratch. And again, if I want to find out this is a word processing or page layout, I can go to the File menu, I can go to here down below says Convert to Page Layout means is a word processing document. The other clue is by go into the inspector here on the top right hand corner and the document and under the document tab. And you see down below under headers and footers, I've got document body. So if they sticked means this is a word processing document. If I untick that is going to give me a warning, There are may lose some of this text. I'm going to show you enough, I click on that now. It's going to give me this warning. Are you sure you want to convert to their page layout document? Converting with removed the documents by the Including body text and inline object might mess up what I've got here. So I'm not going to convert it now. I'm going to just leave it as it is. I just want to show you all the different elements on this template. At the moment, I've got a bunch of images of these big images here. I've got also some on top and you'll notice each of these images have this little symbol here at the bottom right-hand corner. That is our access to our photos library. So if I click on it, it's going to access to my photo library and I can add any of these images in. So for instance, if I want to add one of that, I can click on it. I can drag it if I wanted to. And that will replace that image with mine. And by the way, you'll find these images in your exercise files. So ever look at those as well. At the top of God, also some other taxes. Click on that. So that frame around it, let me know that that one is actually a textbox. Let's go further. These old tax boxes, for instance, and top I've got some image placeholders. So now I can go here, for instance, and click on the little symbol and choose a different image. Another thing I can do here is to resize the image by changing the proportion of it. I might want to keep it in the same width, or perhaps I want to change the height to put some other images in. So in this case here, if I drag one of these dots, it will resize the image, but it will constrain the proportion in order for me to change the proportion of this image is by going to my inspector and the format. We're going to go into the Arrange. And by the way, you'd also have style and images. If I want to go to style. Here you got a bunch of ways to actually change the frame around the image. Awesome styles here on top. I have also some options to change the borders, the shadows, the reflection, et cetera. We're going to cover that later on anyway. Image is another way to add your image down by clicking on replace. Or you can also drag and drop any imagine from whatever source or you can go directly into a range in here is going to give me more options to deal with objects within my document. If I go down into size, I can see the size of my image, which is 6.6 inches by 4.28. Now, if I want to, the proportions, now if I drag one of these white dots is going to change the proportion of me image. And as you can see, it's going to squash it a little bit, but it's fine. So I want to have a slightly smaller and let's say I want to drag now and different imaging. You can go to your exercise files. The top right corner, go to module 6. And on the images you should be able to see all the images that are touched in this class. And again, under newsletter 6 should be the same as that one layer and drag that in. And now you'll notice that the proportions of the image are fine, but it's cropped now. So if I want to change the position of the crop oriented losing bid, double-click on it. I want you to move the handle tool to reposition the image and so on. I even like this. I can click on Done once I finished, I can click away to save it. And now the image has been saved, it's been resized. And you can actually have the freedom to do the same thing for the other images in your document. And also down below here I've got other images that you can replace and change the proportion of. So in the next video, I'm gonna show you how to deal with text. 42. Replacing text: Okay, Now is the time to change some text. First of all, we're going to resize our document here by dragging the borders to make his little bit bigger. We're going to get less destructions. Okay? And we're gonna make it up to a 150 will be more than enough. Perfect. So now we're going to change the place or the text. It's very easy to deal with placeholder tax or you need to do simply just click on it and then just replace it with your own text. Now I'm going to just do a couple of changes here down below a copied, I copied some texts from one of my exercise files. So I'm going to just copy and paste that here. Essentially I'm gonna go to Edit and I'm going to go press paste. And now the text is based adapt perfect. And I'll do the same thing for the title. I just click on the title and then I'll just type a. So you can change it acts like that. So we're changing the text is as easy as just clicking and replacing it with your own. Now, the majority of cases, we might not want to keep the same format as the templates. We might want to change it completely. And I'm going to show you all of this later on, before these lesson. I would like you to just stop this video and then start to replace the text with the one that I provided or what you're on taxed is up to you and your own images, or you have also the images in the exercise files. So play around with this and see are you finding it? In the next video, I'm gonna show you more tips and tricks on how to manage your templates. 43. Moving and editing text boxes: Hopefully by now you would have changed everything within that template if you haven't done so. You can also open the weekly newsletter document that you find in the exercise files and you can follow along. Now, I replaced pretty much everything. You can see that all the text here is replaced and there's no place all the text anymore, everything has been replaced including images. Now let's talk about text boxes. Now I've got here this dx, this is not a textbox. How do I know? Because I don't have any frame around it. If I click on this text next to it, that comes up with the line. So these is actually a textbox and by the way, all these on top towel. So with Xboxes, you'll see, I've got the frame around all of these descriptions. And down below here inside this shape, I've got also this textbox. These are the textbox as well. And if I want to, for instance, move this around, I can do that. That's the advantage of having textboxes. I can drag it. And as you can see now my text behind it will wrap around it. And this is something that we can change as well in our Inspector. That's why I'm going to show you now, if I want to, for instance, place this tax here, and I want to change the behavior of the text behind. I can actually go to a range here in my inspector. And here I've got a new option called text wrap and says around at the moment. So as you can see, if I put it in the middle, erupts around the tax. So if I click on this, I can change their behavior to be automatic, to be above and below or none. So let's try automatic. So that is something that pages will automatically do for me without, without be choosing around and will automatically determine what's the size of my text box, What's the shape, et cetera. And it will then do the modification for me. Instead, I can go here and I can say around to force that to be wrap around the text. Well, I can go to something like above and below. And that will kinda split the text completely. So from the background that you see now, if I move it around, a world only split the tax if I want to break, perhaps have that sort of behavior, or otherwise you can go to none. And that will kind of switch off that text box for me. So whatever a drug it to and nothing will move to make some space for it, which is not really ideal for this sort of template. But I could actually go scroll down and drag that periphery sense at the bottom here if I wanted to and kinda repositioned a whole lot. So I could do that. I can say drag it on top again and re-enable text wrap to be around perhaps. And as you can see now the text will wrap around again. I can resize that text box by dragging these white dots around it and then we'll resize it. I can just make it smaller. And if I click on top, you'll notice I've got this little white button there. Soon as I click on it, it comes up with this little number. So that allows me to actually link this textbox to a different textbox. Perhaps I've got lots of text that I want to type in and I want to carry on that text somewhere else in another textbox. I can do that by using these function on top. So if I click on it now, shows me basically the beginning of that sentence on the textbox and the beginning of another sentence from another text box which is actually labeled in green. This is kinda purple. The other ones in green for Let's find out where the other one is. That one is not on top, perhaps is at the bottom. Let's have a look you up Oral-B click on the text box to find out and look at that. He's actually the one and he's actually the one below. So I can actually link these two text boxes together, but I'm gonna show you this later on. And let's carry on here now resizing this textbox. So after we've done that, let's say we are happy with this sort of size. And again, sometimes when you drag a text box, you'll see this little plus icon at the bottom. That means that something is missing from the text box where there is a tax to where there is a, an empty space. Perhaps you press Return a couple of times that also count as a tax. So we have to basically scroll down until it disappears and then we can see what's missing. So that's the way to move around the text boxes. And in the next video I'm going to show you how to create your own template. 44. Creating templates: Now we modified our templates with our own taxed. We moved around, we textboxes, we change images, et cetera. What about we want to create our own templates out of what we modified. Perhaps you want to save your templates with this modifications. Now, as you notice before, when we first started the template, when you click on a text box, it will highlight that text box for me. And if I click on the text itself down below, a will highlight the whole lot, but now it doesn't do it. How can I make those play soldiers as I had it before, even my image here does not have that. Symbols at the bottom right-hand corner needed those at the top and at the bottom here don't have that symbol anymore. So if I have to basically use that as a template, I can not really, I cannot really see it as a template unless they create, place all the text and place all the images. And that's what I'm going to show you how to do that in this video. So if I want to make this as my placeholder text, for instance, I would like to highlight that first. And then I have to go into the menu bar on top on the format. And I've got an option now advanced to define that as placeholder text. So you'll notice I've got also down below here grayed out define as media placeholder. We're going to use that later in a second. So if I want to make that as my place or the tax, I can click on define as place with the tax and looks what happened now is going to make that text with a different color, orange color I've got here. So if I click away, now that is defined as a place holder. So if I click on it again, if I click away and click again there, I can type something else instead. So as you can see, it will replace it automatically. Let me just undo that commands it. So that is my placeholder text. And that's through the same thing on this paragraph here. Let's say I want to highlight that. And I wanna make this also as a place holder text. I'm going to go again under Format on top and the advanced. And again, I've got defined as plays with the tax that's going on under there now, when I click on that, and also that is been defined as a place or the tax is actually better than having those weird Latin language that we had before. This is kinda makes more sense. So when I click on it now, I can type my yawn, my own text. And you can do the same thing for textboxes as well. So if I want to highlight that, I can do the same thing under Format advance. And now you know the routine. So you can actually change the whole lot here as well. So I can go, hey, again, advanced defined as a placeholder. If I want to do the same thing for images, I can click on the image and go to Format, can go to Advanced. But actually that when he's already been ticked as a placeholder, but I don't have that symbol that we had before. Remember, so if I click on that to remove it. So now is it just a normal image? If I go back to Format advance and a redefined as a place holder, look what happened now I've got that symbol popping up again in my screen. I can do the same thing on the top here. I can actually highlight more than one at the same time we're using command. So if I hold down Command on my keyboard and click on all the images. Now I can go to Format advanced. And now I can untick that first and then go back to Format advance and click on media plays older again. And now their whole lab the same symbols. We're going to do the same thing down below here. And a highlight is images. You're going to go into Format advance when I click that and we'll replace all there, but we want to see that symbol. And there we go. Now we have that symbols there, which led us access to the photos library as well. And again, I can do the same thing here. I can highlight that advances a place holder do the same thing for my title there. And as you can see, once you know exactly where to go, everything else is going to be kind of very easy to modify once you're happy with the arrangement and anything else. Now we are pretty much ready to go. I think the company name on tuples and instead we changed. So I'm going to highlight that. I'm gonna make that as a placeholder text. Perfect. And I think the data, I'm going to leave it as it is. I want to have the date to change automatically. And for that tax box again, I'm going to highlight a whole lot. I can even create a placeholder with tax for each line. Perhaps I've got a line that I want to have in that format and another line I want to have bolded, for instance, this is a good example. So if I'm going to highlight the first one, I can go to arrange, format the fine as a place holder. And I've got another option down below. Highlight that format advance and the fine as a placeholder. And now I've got two separate placeholders. Yeah, if I double-click that and double-click that, it will highlight the whole lot. Perfect. I can do the same thing here. I can highlight that. Go to Arrange, sorry, go to farm. It advanced the fine as a place holder. So carry on doing this for the rest of your templates. And by the way, I'm going to just highlight all of this. I'm going to just do quickly. Perhaps I'm going to fast-forward the video. Cool, no issue there. Everything as a placeholder, images and taxed, everything has been set up correctly and now we're ready to save this as a templates. We can go to File Save as Template. And now I've got an option here to add these template into my template. Choose it. Do you remember at the beginning when you are choosing the templates from our template user, That's what we want to have that end perhaps, or perhaps you want to just save it into a different location. In this case, I want to have it into my template uses. I'm going to click on it. Now it's going to show me the template chooser menu at the bottom here I've got a section for my templates. As you recall, we actually saved a templates at the very beginning of this class with the styles, but now we have a proper templates and I can actually rename that, call it, press Return. And now it's saved. And whatever I want to use it, I can just double-click it and modify that newsletter for every week that I publish it. So this is, can be very, very handy for those of you who wants to create a design and use it over and over again with the templates. So Abbott, look at this and I'll see you in the next video. And I'm going to show you other tips and other powerful features in pages in regards of templates. 45. Manage custom templates: Now that we created our own templates, I'm going to just show you how to open it up. I want to modify it out or save it as a normal document into your documents folder, onto your desktop. I'm going to go into my pages here. I'm going to click on New or Command. And if you want to use your shortcuts, now we're going to scroll down to our templates. We're going to click on actually the a category here on the left-hand side. My templates and I've got my office newsletter here. I'm going to double-click on it. And those will work exactly the same as we open any other templates. So if I now want to modify something, I can go here and I can type for instance, and other thing. So when I do that now, it will modify my document. And as you can see on top, it says untitled here, untitled, two pages edited. And if I want to save it, I can go to File and click on Save. And now I can save this perhaps into my desktop. And I can save it, for instance, December newsletter. And now I can click on Save. So that will be saving to my desktop. And now I can close this. This is actually saved. Again, reopening here with my December's newsletter. And if I want to open another one in my templates, I can go down here under Templates, new document. And there we go. The other one is here. And if I wanted to delete a template, right-click on it and click on Delete. I can also rename a template if I wanted to, perhaps I created two identical copies, but I want to have some, some changes to a second copy, for instance, you might want to rename that. So that is the way to deal with templates. Create templates, use it for your document and then delete them as well if you don't want to see them here. So play around with templates, creating your own ones. And I'm going to show you later on also how to deal with templates, even more complex than this. Perhaps you want to do something graphically more appealing rather than just using preexisting templates. I'm going to show you other ways to create something from scratch that looks very professional. 46. Adding and removing elements: In this class, I just want to remind you and show you how to add and remove elements from a template. And if you following up, you can open the template that we just saved it in the previous lesson, my office newsletter. If you are jumping into this lesson and you want to carry on and following up, you can actually open the exercise files on Module 6. Otherwise you can go to Newsletter here on the category, you actually choose the serif newsletter, which is the closest to the one we're working on at the moment. I'm gonna go back to my templates and double-click with my office newsletter. And I'm going to resize the border by dragging the two arrows there on the upper border as well, so we don't get destructed. And now I'm going to make this slightly bigger. And the Zoom we're going to go 250 to make it slightly bigger. And as you notice, again, I've got some text boxes in my templates. You have got that one down below. I've got the ones here on top. So what that means is I can actually move them around, but I can also remove them if I don't want to see them, I can just do select them and press backspace to remove them. Or I can just do Command Z. And perhaps I want to copy that somewhere else in my document. Now if I do that, if I right-click, I can actually copy that and I can paste it somewhere else. Now, let's do that. Let's do copy, and let's paste it perhaps at the bottom, you have got some room here for my text box. I'm going to click on it. It looks like I've got a cursor that because this is a word processing document is not a page layout. So I have to basically pasted down at several core app. And if I do right-click the text placeholder on top, highlights automatically. Not really what I wanted if I press Paste now, nothing really is going to happen because it's trying to do basically pays the tax box instead of that placeholder text, which is not the same thing. Text within Word processing tax box are two different element, even though they sounds and look the same, then not. So in this case here, if I go paste, nothing's going to happen is you can see nothing happened. So I'm not just press Command Z to undo that. The easiest way to copy and paste and element, especially a textbox into a word processing document like this is by just right-clicking and use duplicate. Or if you really want to use copy and paste, copy first and then paste after, and then it will paste a duplication on top of it. Now it seems like something happening. I've got plus sign there. I've got these other textbooks on top. It looks very confusing. By soon as I move that text box around, you'll notice I've got the other text was actually behind. Now I can actually move this down. And I'm going to scroll down here. And as you notice, the text wraps around it. And now let's say I want to move it there. So I can actually do that. And now if I want to duplicate the stacks box, I can just right-click, press Duplicate and it will duplicate it for me. And now I've got to now going to do the same thing for images. I can actually click on image. I can press Command C and Command V. Perhaps I can move that image around and I can do all the modification. I want to resize that image to make it smaller. I can move it there, for instance, I can double-click to raise, crop it perhaps. And I can click on Done once I finished. So you can do all these modification, but we're going to talk about this later on. I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the fact that you can add elements, you can remove elements, you can modify them and recreate your own templates. Bang on, assure you more of this. Later on. I just want to give you a taste of what's going to happen next. 47. Adding images: In this module, we are going to work with boxes, with objects, and any other element we can add in our document. Now in the previous module, we dealt a little bit with templates and all the elements within it. But here we have our documents now we're going to add some elements here. So we working with thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 26, if you are following up. And I'm going to zoom out these pages because when I deal with objects such as images or any other elements I want to add. I like to see the documents smaller so I can actually see the proportions of the objects around my text. And this one I'm going to do now we're gonna go into zoom on top left-hand corner. And I'm going to choose something like a 125. That would do perfect. And we have a couple of ways to add an image into our document who we can go either to insert in our menu barrier on top, and we can go to choose. And the shortcut is Shift Command V. You interested to know that? Otherwise you can go to the toolbar under the Media button here. And we can access to our photos library. We can also add some other elements which are going to cover later on. And I also have an option to choose from here, so I can actually click on that. We'll access to my Finder. And if you go to your exercise files under images, you should be able to see these images here. I'm going to click on the first one and I'm going to click on Insert. So when I do that, these image come up very big. So this is the original size of the image. So if that happened with your own images and you have a huge images, he's going to probably cover the entire page and you're going to have to resize them. So that's what we're gonna do in now when I drag one of these white dots around the image and we're going to resize that. And as you notice the text in the document and wraps around it automatically. And now I can use this guidelines you see, when I move the objects around, you'll see you have this yellow guidelines that tells me exactly where the image is at the moment is on the light right in the middle of the page, for instance, always snaps to the nearest or to the closest object. So I want to keep it there for now. And then I want to resize a little bit more. Perhaps I want to have a smaller probably looks better. I'm going to drag it up here. Of course you can modify this, you can change it around the way you like. And now if I go into my Inspector, I can change the behavior of the text. I can change how that image is going to look like. So we're gonna go into format on the Inspector and the Arrange and what style image and arranged. If I click on range, I've got here quite a few options. And the first one on top is Object placement. At the moment I've got two tabs. Stay on Page or move with text. So move with text is highlighted and the tax wrap is under automatic. So whatever shape or whatever size I had the tax world and behave automatically. So in this case, if I want to change that, I can change it to, let's say to wrap around which is the same as automatically for now if I go that it looks like nothing happened. Bike and go to something like above and below. And that we're kind of split the text in sort of a paragraph or so when I move the text around it, we're kind of split it completely. So, um, you might like that or you might want to have something like inline with text that will behave as a text is a letter almost. So if I do that now you'll notice that it will kind of lock with the text. So if I now go here and I just press return a couple of times, is going to behave as a letter, as a kind of word. And if I want to instead, I have a little bit of space but still have the ability to move it around. I will have to click on the image again. And instead of using inline with tax, I can go back to around. And that will wrap it around. Or I can go to none. I'm going to show you nanosecond by failover around. And my option on top is move with tax means. If I click at the beginning of this paragraph and I press return a couple of times. The image will follow my text, will be almost like a word within the same text. It follows the text. Instead, if I wanted to keep that locked into the page, I can go into stay on page. And now if I move the text, the image will stay put. So that is the other option. You got that. So I'm going to click on the image again. I'm going to go back into move with text and I can even change the spacing here. You see you got taxed fit. I can click on the first one here. And that will change the way the tax will behave. So for instance, in this one, it says here wrap text around the objects rectangular boundary. So I can do that and that will automatically make that acts very, kind of very straight and very pointy as well on the edges, which is quite nice as well, makes it very regular. Or I can choose the other one and the other one will basically follow irregular shapes if I use that and I have an irregular shape rather than rectangle who may have something like curved, like a weird shape. Danny will follow that shape for you. The spacing will change, of course, the distance between the text and the object, in this case the image. And I can change, I can make it that further away or closer is up to you. Are you want to do it RFA, something we're going to cover later on, where we're going to talk about transparency. And, but for now, that's it. This is the way to add your image there, but feel free now to add the rest of the images around your document. They're going have to be necessarily in the same order as mine. Otherwise, just jumping to the next video. And you're going to have the exercise files so you can follow along. 48. Set transparency to images: Hopefully you added all the images from the exercise file. And by the time you've done that, you'll probably have noticed that some of these images look very weird. So for instance, the first two were quite regular because now like a rectangle shape, so they're quite okay with attacks as well. But the third one, which is this one here with this weird black, it doesn't look proportionate at all as well. So we want to get rid of this background here and also want to work a little bit more with other images as well. So we want to remove that background there. And in order to do that, we can use something called Instant Alpha. So if I click on the image there and I'm going to format the very top menu bar. I'm going to image. And here I find that option to use ISS and Alpha. So if I click on it, I've got these little dialog box popping up at the bottom of the image. It says, click a color to make it transparent. Drag to make similar colors transparent. Now if I hover the cursor over the image, you'll notice my cursor becomes a target. And if I click and hold with my mouse, you'll notice now that part became shadowed and I've got these percentage going on here. And now if I move my mouse up or down, you'll notice that percentage will increase. And you also notice that the border around the fees also get highlighted as well. And if I carry on and also highlight something else on the face that I don't want to really get rid of. So I'm going to just go back until I've got a nice surrounding of the face. And I'm going to leave it like that as soon as I let go the mouse, something happened that I still got to sort of, uh, the shadowed area that as a rectangle. But if I click away, you have to click on done. And what happened now is that the background is gone. And now I'm free to resize this image. Tax will beautifully wrap around it. Now, I could actually do some other modification, looks like some of the texts went on the left-hand side here, which doesn't make it very clear to read. So I'm going to go into my inspector and the format, our range. And I'm going to go down to tax Rupp. Now at the moment is on the automatic, which in this case is what I want, but I can go to Text fit here, the tax fit, this, this is for regular shape and this on the right is for irregular shape. In this case, this is an irregular shape. So I'm going to leave it like this because if I click on the first one is going to be over like a rectangle. So I'm going to go back in there. And the spacing is the distance between the shape and the text. So that can be changed as well. So if I keep on doing that, I might actually fix myText. They're actually reducing. It. Looks like it's okay. I can make it a little bit closer. And the alpha is the percentage of transparency at which the text will wrap. So basically if I make this all do way to stri, all the way to a 100 percent. Nothing happened there. So if I make it all the way down, sometimes you have to kind of experiment and see what sort of what happened if you do certain changes to make some certain changes and nothing happened there. So I'll probably just leave it at 50 percent is worse because it's not going to change that much. But I can change the size, perhaps trying to push that text around to make sure that it's kind of easy to read. That will probably would do even if it goes beyond the margins on the mind. So we're gonna do the same thing with these coins down below. I'm gonna just move them slightly up. And again, I want to remove the background, that there's probably a white background and I want to also have the tax wrapping around those like actually are centralized that perhaps may get there, go to my inspect on the farm at the range. And instead of using automatic, I'm going to use around. And again, after use instant half a year again. Now I have to go back into my format. I'm going to go back into my image is an alpha. As you notice, this is actually a sub menu here. So every time I need using some n5 to go all the way to format image is an Alpha, which is very cumbersome. One other way is to actually add these on Alpha in your toolbar here. So I can actually just get rid of that. Go into the toolbar on top of Right-click with a cursor anywhere in this gray bar. And I'm going to go into customize toolbar. So one of these options is my instant Alpha. That's what I'm going to add now in my menu on top and I drag Eastern Alpha. I'm going to leave it somewhere there. And also going to use a flexible space in between those media buttons. And that, because I want to have the graphic section perhaps separated. It's up to you where you want to put it, and then you just press Done. Now I can easily access to Alpha by clicking on it. And now I've got my target cursor here, I'm going to click and hold and drag. And as you notice, that is getting rid of the part, the inside part, which is fine. You can do this in stages. So again, let go there. And as soon as I let go will get rid of the background there. As you notice also the text. You started to kinda wraps around a bit better. Now I'm going to go to the border here. I'm going to do the same thing on one side. The other side as well. Click and hold and drag. Click and hold and drag on the other side, click and hold and drag and may take you several attempt. But that's fine. You can also repeat that. And just to reiterate that you want to get rid of the background as much as possible, okay? Now the background is gone. Now I can resize that and the tax is wrapping around almost almost the way I want. So I can go back into my inspect on the Arrange and that's changed these perhaps the spacing, perhaps I want to have a more spacing there and have the nice curved effect on the text. And I'm going to click away. And that's it. And now I can carry on down below. I've got another one here. Perhaps I want to have that as well. I'm going to click on Alpha and I'm going to highlight a section. There's almost does everything perfect. I'm going to just let go and now the text will do the magic and, or press Done. And I'm going to just move it around and resize it for UPS and change the distance of the text by using spacing. Perhaps I want to have more space there. And I'm going to drag a slightly up, so at least the title is not affected and the number that 11 is not affected either. Same thing here. I can do a nice artistic effect here. I can actually drag that slay up. I can go into my insulin, alpha can go to my eastern half a year on top. And I can get rid of this dark background. So this might take a little bit more attempt. And I'm going to do that. I'm going to get rid of that part down below that. Can go all women for them not too much otherwise cannot get rid of the face. I'm going to do that and I'm going to again, just for the legal part and press down. Of course, if it's too tiny, just gone to the zoom in, zoom all the way up. So you can actually see a little bit better and just press Done. And now I've got only Marcus Aurelius face. Perfect. And now I can just move around and I look how the tax beautifully wraps around his face, which is what I want an angle to spacing again and make a little bit closer now that I adjusted it. Now you've got that just so hard to use is an Alpha. Play around with that and make your own style move around and have fun. Not other thing that I can do here, it looks like kinda goes beyond the margins here. So you can double-click on an image. When you double-click on an image, the white dots become black. And now I can just move them to crop the image. If I wanted to, to make it slightly smaller, I can do that. I can go from the top here and make it slightly smaller, can do that as well. Press Done. And now I cropped the image and I'm going to show you more on graphics in the next videos as well. 49. Adjust images: After we added our images and also added them with Eastern Alpha, we might still need to do some editing on them. Perhaps we don't like that a brightness, we don't like the color of them. So instead of just going back to photos or your editing software, we can actually edit them directly into pages. And in order to do that, or you simply select the image. And by the way, we working with the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 28, if you following up, I'm going to click on an image. And now in my inspector and under my inspector on the format, I've got style, image and arrange. I'm going to click on image for now. And I've got an option down below to do some adjustment of God, the exposure slider, I've got the saturation so I can actually go here and just drag this either left or right to change the exposure. Perhaps I want to make that slightly darker or slightly brighter, actually going to leave it roughly around, let's say, 34 percent to adieu and saturation. This is going to basically affect the color. If I drag that all the way to the left is going to become black or white. Or all the way to the right is going to announce all the colors there. So I can actually use a black and white if I wanted to. But let's say I want to have it slightly up here at 26 percent. So this is very subjective, is up to you how you want to edit your photos marking go down here, for instance, click on the image and do the same thing here I've actually changed the exposure, the saturation as well in MC or black or white. I can make it slightly. This is actually black or white. So one make any difference really? But if I want to just do it automatically, I can click on the enhanced button here. I can click on that. And it will automatically announce the photo. Sometimes it doesn't give you the effect that you really hope for BI, you can actually go back into resets to go back to the previous fact. And you can go even deeper into editing by clicking on this button here. And if I could do that is going to show me the adjustment tools here, a drug that next to the image. And here you can change all sorts of things. I can change the Instagram on top, the dark area, the meat tones, the highlights as well. I can change the exposure like like I was doing it in the inspector may also can change highlights and shadows, et cetera. So play around with this. You can also click on enhanced down below here, and then kind of tweak the adjustment to make it look even better. So spend some times here. If you work with graphics and images a lot, I'll probably add the Adjust image here on the toolbar. So if I right-click anywhere here on the toolbar and I go to customize toolbar again. I've got some of the button for Adjust image. There we go, is there I'm going to drag it next to my Eastern Alpha. So I'm going to have my legal graphic section here only for images and graphics. And I'll click on Done. So whenever I want to access to that, I can close this and I can click on an image if I want to, I can click on adjust and I've got all my tools here available to work on. So play around with the adjustment tools and make sure that all of your photos are nice and optimized. And I'll see you in the next video with more tips. 50. Change Image Styles: So let's work a little bit more on the images here by using the image style, which is the other option we have in that respect us. So let's click on one of these images and I'm going to go into my spectrum on the format style. So I mentioned these styles before, but these are actually the six preset styles that we have. So abrupt, we have something like a frame. You might want to have a frame around the image. Or perhaps you want to try something like this. I can nice frame, thick frame with a shadow in the background. Whenever you add any of these styles, you can actually modify them down below here I've got now border, we'd picture frame. I can go to the picture frame down below here and change it to something else. If I click on that button and we'll come up with a different kind of frame. Perhaps I want to have something like that, or perhaps I want to have something more simple. So you can do that. You can also change the thickness of the frame by using that slider. So by doing that, you can actually just change the thickness. You can also use the value that in percentage. You can also change the frame by clicking on picture frame and have line instead. And you can have just a simple line around the image, weird per up something else perhaps you want to have or something with different color. And I can go to the quickselect to here and choose a different color. If you want to, just to remove everything, you can go to no border and it goes back to the original. So let's try now down below here to use one of these eastern Alpha image. So if I click on that face that and again go to my style, I can choose one of this as try to go into border and I'm going to use line. Now as you notice, because I've used an alpha here, instead of going around the rectangle is going around the actual shape of the image. So I'm going to go into line. I'm going to use just a normal line there. And perhaps I want to have a different color. I may want to have something weird, blue or darker color perhaps. So that's something more artistic and I can actually make that line a little bit thicker. So these can be quite good for artistic representation. So you could do that as well. I can also go to shadow here and add some shadow and go to drop shadow. Might want to have that I can even change the blurriness of the shadow. I can make it more fainted. I can make it more distant from the actual subject, from the actual image. And I can also change the opacity of that shallow. I can also change the angle of it. So I can really be creative here. And I can apply this to all my images and I can change the color of the shadow as well. I want to make it a different color. I can do that as well. I can go back to my black as well. Reflection, click on reflection is going to have a reflection just arrived below. I guess they will work very well with my coins there so I can click on the coin, I click on reflection. And as you noted, it will automatically apply that for me. And I can also change the opacity of my reflection. So as you can see, you've got lots of different ways to modify your pictures by using style. And if you like a specific style and you want to save it, you can do that as well. See if I like this style with this border here, I can actually go back into the liner megaliths, slightly thinner. Perhaps I want to have a very subtle line in between. Perfect. And then I want to save this as a style. I can go into my style here, click on this little arrow next to it. And I can press the plus button to save my new style. And if I want to apply that to a different object, I can go to that, for instance, and I can go to that style. And that will be applied as well. So you'll notice is the same thing go down here into the same weird this, these are the statue for instance, and outlet the same thing and have the same thing here for instance. So play around with this, trying to find the right style for you and the apply or around your document to make it look more interesting, more, more appealing to look at. And these are the options you've got available on that format style. You'll find it there. You have lots of flexibility in order to highlight your images into your document. 51. Adding and combine shapes: Now is the time to add some shapes into our document here. So we using the file thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 30, if you're following up. So we're gonna go into page number four, page number five. And here the beginning of this paragraph and we're going to add a shape. So we're going to go into our toolbar and we have a shape here. Now we also have an option to go to Insert, and we can go to shape here, but here I've got a limited list of all the shapes. I've got some rectangles from oval, triangle, arrow, DYAMAND, et cetera, by for 12 access to more shapes, I can go to the toolbar here, click on shape. And then I've got here all different kind of categories here. I've got probably around 700 or more different shapes that I can choose from. And on the basics of God, of course, in lines and arrows. So these are connection lines as well. And I also have a pen tool at the top if I want to draw my own shape. Are we going to cover that later on? But for now, I've got my standard shapes here. I've got some objects here on the side. Then I can choose from animals, nature, food, symbols. I can even search on top if I look for something specific. So let's go into symbols here. And I'm going to scroll down. I think I found a symbol before that I wanted to use. I can actually scroll down then. Now we'll kinda scroll all the way through different categories. Let's see if I can find it somewhere. Here was a symbol that looks like this. Perfect. I'm going to click on that. Now my shape is here. This behaves very similar to a text box where I can actually move around. And again, the text will wrap around it as well. So I'm going to move it just right at the beginning here. I can resize it as well. I want to change the color of it. I can go to my inspector and the format. I'm going to go into style. And I've got some different styles here for my shape. I've got here some colors saved. I can click on this one to change the color of it if I wanted to. And down below here, I can also change the fill. I can go to Color Fill. For instance, I can have a gradient field or advanced gradient fields. So I can actually go here and have some kinda to color blends. Or I'm wanna have perhaps in advanced gradient field, which gives me three different kinds of colors and shade. So I can play around with this a lot. But let's say I want to just go to Color Fill. I'm going to stick with my yellow color here. I also have the option to add some borders. Can go to border here and put a line in between the border and then change the thickness of the line if I want to make it more graphically aggressive in a way, and I can actually make it bigger if I wanted to. So that's the weird one. Actually make a very subtle, I can add a shadow reflection of course. And of course, the opacity of the actual shape. So that's a bit like this. I'm going to add another shape on top of it. I'm going to go up to shape again. And I'm going to add a basic shape. I'm going to add a square this time. Now in this case here, same thing, I'm going to go and drag it on top of it. Actually, I want to make this shape going behind. But whenever I had an object, I would have to basically rearrange it the way I want into the inspector in this case here looks like my shape behind disappeared by, it's actually behind you see. And now I want to place this shape behind in order to do the app, to go to my inspector and the range. So range of God, another section down below, I've got back, front, backwards and forward. If I want to push an object all the way behind, I can click on back. And that's what I'm gonna do. Uh, now we're all the way on front. I can go front. Or if I want to go layer by layer, you can go backwards or forwards. So you can use that. In this case, I want to have the old way in the back so I can click on back. And now I've got my shape here back in front. I can click on it to rearrange it. And I've got these nice guidelines. It tells me exactly a day is the center. And now I can go and change perhaps the color of it. I can resize the shape, of course, and the tax will behave accordingly. Let's change the color or the shape again, go to style. And let's make this perhaps a different column. Go to the quick selector here. And I can choose something like darker perhaps. And I can also use a gradient. If I like to have a gradient, I can do that. Now, one of the ways to create logos, this is kind of a topic goes beyond our scope, but this is just to show you how easy can be to create a logo is you can actually combine several shapes together like this two, and then we can make some sort of a cool effect with that. So if you go to arrange again into our Inspector and I select both of our shapes together. So if I hold down Command and click on the other shape, this case our tempo here. Now I've got the two shapes highlighted together and something happened into my inspector here at the bottom, I've got these four buttons. I've got to unite, intersect, subtract, exclude. Let's try this and see what happened with that. So if I click on Unite is going to basically blend them together and looks like that the shape that we added before took over the other ones. So let's press commands that, so that one doesn't really work for our combination. Let's try intersect. If I do intersect, it looks like it gets rid of the other one and applies that gradient field into the second shape as the command Z astride subtract. So if I do Subtract now, I've got this nice effect of this shape that subtract the shapes within it, which is quite nice. Let's try the other one commands that I'm actually choose that one might exclude. Exclude, looks like it does the same thing, actually does something else. And let's undo that for a second. That now if I go back into the shape, I deselect the shape and a move the shape within it on the site, perhaps here. And I highlight them both again by using command. Now if I use subtract, it looks like a subtracting the excess out and leaving the rest in the second shape. And we do commands that. Let's try the other one is clued. If I do exclude a will get rid of the intersection between the two shapes, which is also quite nice, and you can also make a logo out of it as well. So let's think about what we had before. Actually, I'm going to go back to commands that I'm going to de-select, reselect the other shape, put it in my middle, re-select the one in the background by holding down Command and click on the second one. And now I can go to subtract, and that's what I want. So I'm going to click away from that, see how it looks quite nice. I'm going to click again and then resize that. And as you can see, I can squash, hey, I can make it the way I want. And I can move it around. And again, if I want to constrain the proportion, I can go to the Inspector on the constraint proportion, I can tick that box. And now if I resize it, it will keep the proportion that I set up with. Very good. So now I can just move it around. And let's say I'm going to stick with that again, which shapes you can do a lot more than just what I showed you. But if I click on the Shape now you'll see on the inspector, you have all the different settings you can go to arrange. And you can really be creative here. You can even add another shape on top of it and create another combination where I can go to shape here and I can add another shape. Perhaps I want to have that little splash and I want to combine the two. You can do the same thing. So play around, make your own shape and it into a document. And then I'm going to show you other things you can do in the next video. 52. Make shapes editable: Pages offers you're such a large amount of shapes that you have really a lot of choice here. But what about you looking for a shape that is not necessarily here on this list? How would you go about it? So one of the ways to actually make your shape editable. So for instance, if I go back into one of these shapes, actually explain around before weird something around supports. So if I click on that, this is like a ball shape. I'm going to just drag it down below here. Let's say I want to have a shape of this year. And what a bar want to have some sort of a like a movement effect. But I was having some sort of a spike shapes on the side. So you can actually right-click on any shape. And you have an option to make that shape editable. So that's what we're going to do now I'm going to click on that. Now you'll see all these red dots around it are editable. You can actually move them around and change it to your own shape. I'm going to zoom in a little bit more here on my screen. I'm gonna go to all the way to 400. So you'll see exactly what I'm doing. I'm gonna make this very nice and big. If I hover the cursor anywhere on these dots, I can actually drag them. And I can just modify the shape. And you see this is kind of a curve, the shape. And I can also go the other way around if I wanted to. But let's say I wanted to make that in sort of a curve. They want to make it nice and straight. Or you need to do simply double-click on that red dots there and it will make it nice and straight. So now I can actually make this nicer fact of having this spiky effects as well. Here I'm gonna double-click to have that sort of a shape like this. And if I go in between these dots have also have another daughter appears. So if I drag that, I can actually have that also on the side. Curving on the side like this, or curving on the side on like this. Perhaps. I can move that around to make it this way. So I can make everything editable here. And let's say I'm going to go into here. I'm going to drag that. I'm going to double-click as well to make it going that direction. And I can do the same thing on the other side, dragging out, double-click to make a spiky and straight. And I can do the same thing here. And as you notice now I just completely modify the shape. If I click away is going to save that shape, I can click on it again. I can resize it now and move it wherever I want. So I can go to Zoom under than 50 per ups. And let's say I want to make a slightly smaller. I can do that. And perhaps I want to make it the same color as the last image perhaps, or the image that I like the most. So what you can do it, click on the image and go to the Inspector on the format style. And of course you have your quick selector here on the palette. But what about when I choose my own color can go to the actual polity and next to that quick selector. So I've got this color palette appearing, and I can choose any of these color if I wanted to display, just move the cursor around here. The shape will change color, but what about want to have the exactly the same gray as that statue that I can clone colors here and go to this little eyedropper here and click on it. And then I can just clone any color by pointing and clicking on them. Let's say I want to have that nice gray. I'm going to click on it. And now that color is applied to that shape. And by the way, if you want to save that color, I can drag this little palette here into one of these empty spaces to save it. And it's going to save that for future reference in case I want to apply the same color to a different shape. So I'm going to close the palate now. But this is the way to add it to your shape. And other thing you can do in shape is there. So I can right-click on the shape and I can click on break apart. And what that does, it will make all these elements separate. So if I click away from that and I click on one of these element, I can now position in a different way. I can move them in a different position. I can, and I can even rotate them anywhere I want. I can hold down the command key and I can go to any of these border. And you see now the arrow there becomes curved and ionic actually move it around. I can even go into one and make it bigger. I can even right-click and make that editable and do some other changes. So the possibility here are endless. You can make your own things here. You're on shape, logo, anything you want directly in pages. So play around with this. You're going to have lots of fun creating your own shapes. And stay tuned because I'm going to show you something else in the next video. You're going to love. 53. Saving custom shapes: Now that we've been working with shapes and we created our own form, what about we want to just save that and use it in other projects in the future. If you right-click on the shape, we have an option to save that to my shapes. So if I click on that now, now that shape is going to be added into a separate section on the my shapes here at the bottom, I can rename that, I can call it. And now that is going to be available everywhere in my Mac where I can access to the shape is perhaps I want to use numbers or Keynote or again pages with other project I can access to that shape anytime I want. If I want to delete that, I can right-click on the shape. I can either renamed or deleted. And by the way, now we'd pages. You can also find these shapes in any other devices with the same Apple ID, Bigger's. Icloud will sync all of your shapes around your devices as well. How beautiful is that? 54. Use the pen tool: Moving forward, we add shapes so we can actually create our own shape as well from scratch. So we're gonna go into shape on top. We're going to choose the pen tool that we have here at the top right hand corner. And now I can actually draw any shape I want anywhere and say I want to do it down below here in this paragraph, I can click with my cursor there and then I can just move the cursor somewhere else to create this line. Soon as I click on it, it's going to create that line. And I'm going to just carry on doing this. And the purpose here is to actually create your own shape, even if, even if there's a rough shape, we need to also close our lines eventually to start to them modify our shapes. That's not gonna go into doing something a little bit longer than that. And then I'm going to close the shape. Once it's closed now I can actually hover the cursor over one of these dots and I can make those areas curved. Or if I want to move them and make them spiky or straight, I can double-click on the red dots to make them straight. And you'll also notice that dot become illegal square. So I can do the same thing on the corner here. I can use a little bit of imagination. He had just trying to make it a little bit more appealing, but you got the gist of it now you can actually make your own shape. And again, once you've finished, you can click away from that. You can click inside. You can even of course, with command, you can rotate that shape if you want to, you know, make it a little sort of a different effects. You can squash it by resizing it. And on the inspector here you can actually change the color. Perhaps you want to have a red color. You can also have a combination of shapes. And also under a range you may want to have that wrap around. So it will wrap around the text. So you can have that sort of effect. Perhaps you can make a smaller. Now if I want to save that shape, I can right-click on it and save it to my shapes for future use. Or I can make that editable by clicking on Make editable. And I can keep on, carry on, yeah, on. Changing the shape a little bit further and click away. So that's another way to create your shapes. You have plenty of option. Again, use your imagination and tried to fit those shapes into your documents the best you can. 55. Add photos directly from your phone: Among the other features that you have in pages, you also have another beautiful way to add images directly from your iPhone using something called continuity camera. So this is something that comes with more harvest. So you need to have 10.14 as operating system in order to have that feature on. And you can pretty much add your photo, take photo directly from your iPhone. Anyway, you can type something on, but this will work only with Apple native apps. So let's try to add an image here at the bottom of this document them using thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 33. I'm going to just click anywhere here. And I'm gonna make sure I've got the cursor blinking somewhere. I'm going to right-click and I've got an option to take a photo or scan a document. I can either scanned document yet get something on paper directly on my document. Amazing. And I'm going to click on Take photo that will trigger my iPhone camera and I can take the photo. I'm going to take a photo of my mouse mat. And once I've done in just press use photo on your iPhone, and that will appear magically in your document and I can resize that. And I can also rotate as well. So if you want to rotate that 90 degrees, you can hold down the command key anywhere on the corner or anywhere where the borders are, and hold down the Shift key as well. And that will kind of rotate 45 degrees incremental. And now I've got that picture there. I can double-click to crop it for one, I get rid of some of the excess. And let me just do that again. And I get rid of that part. Or perhaps I want to have only the pattern of that. And there we go. And now I can just click on Done. And I've got the little image there. I can actually move it around. You can actually do a better job than I did. But this is the way to add your images directly from your iPhone into your document in Pages. 56. Add text boxes: We completely change the aspect of our document so far, but what about adding some text boxes and added them as well? I'm going to show you, I'll do that in this video. Now we're using thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 34. If you following up, we're going to add our text box now we're going to scroll down here, I'd say when I have a text box or right around here. And I'm going to just go into the text, into the stacks button on my toolbar. Otherwise you can go to Insert and a menu bar here on top. And you can go to a tax box. Same thing. I'm going to click on that. I've got this nice text box popping up in the middle of my screen. And of course everything else is shifted around. Do not worry, you can still resize your same way. You resize your shapes by dragging these white dots around. And that's all we're gonna do now. And as you can see, the text comes back magically. So do not worry if the deck system moving around, but we can still modify that. Let's copy and paste some text in here into this box on there go up here. I'm going to just highlight this sentence that I bolded and created a style of in the previous videos. And press Command C to copy it when I was with my textbox. And now it looks like invisible bees actually here. I'm going to click on it to highlight it, click again to go inside the box and do Command V. And now my sentence is paste the data. I can click away, click inside again, so I can see these dots. So you have to do always this movement in case you want to resize that text box. So I'm going to resize that. I'm going to go to my inspector and the format, style. And I'm going to put a border and I'll go to Border, use a line. And I've got this nice, sketchy look. So I can go to this line here, pop-up menu and choose a different one if you like. I'm going to choose this for now. And the color, I'm happy with, the black and orange logo 2D points to make a slightly thinner and scaling. And I'll go to five points. And now I've got this plus sign here at the bottom of this text box that tells me that something is missing. So what I'm gonna do only to basically drag that down in order to retrieve the missing text and this and now reappears. Now I'm going to resize this. I'm going to move it around, perhaps down here. And I'm going to basically now make it a little bit more artistically appealing. So I'm going to just change the shape of my textbox, so oriented to simply just right-click on it. And I can go to Make editable, so I'm going to click on that. And now I've got these red dots around it. I can actually now drag any of this. Is I hover the cursor over any of this area. I can make a curved, again double-click to make a spiky. I can move it slightly irregularly around. I can go down here and do the same thing for the rest of these dots to make a little bit curve ish, kind of without really breaking the text in-between and rights. So as you can see, I'm actually doing all these modifications to make the text a little bit more appealing to the, to the viewer and to the reader. Okay, I'm going to do another curve here. I'm going to move it down here now. Whoops. Actually, it's not bad at all. On top of a click away and then drag it down. Perfect. And I'm going to resize this by dragging one of the border to make it smaller. Of course, you need to make sure the text fix it, fit into that. All right. So now I can go to my arrange in my inspector here, make sure he's not automatic is actually under around. So the Tax 2 will be closer, will come closer to it. Even just reduce the spacing and do a little bit more adjustment here. The overall taxed. It's okay, kind of shifted everything else here as well, which is not a problem. You can go to nine here. You can go to our format layout more actually and go to start paragraph on a new page. We can do that to fix the problem. And now we have a nice uniform shapes. Everything else looks okay So we can actually carry on now with our document. But now if I want to change the color inside, I can do that as well and go to the shape and go to my style again on the format. And let's give it a color. It's go to the fill. And let's do the color fill. We've got this yellow color which is kind of matches my coins here. My, if I want to clone it, narc and go to the palette here on my side. I can go to my eyedropper, and I can just point at Goldie color of my coin to match that. If it's too bright and we can actually go back into the high drop and point at something darker. And that CAN, I can actually go here into my palette and do my other, you know, other modification here manually if I wanted to, let's close the palate. Let's click away. And now this is my custom text box that I can play around and I can even right-click and save as one of my shapes if I want to use it in the future. Well done pages. 57. Image gallery: One of the many features in pages now is to add a gallery of images. You might want to have them perhaps showing at the bottom of an article or somewhere in your documents. I'm going to put mine here at the end of this document. I'm using thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 35, you're following up. So I'm going to place the gallery here. So before I do that, I'm going to drag this logo a little bit down here. And I'm going to make sure I'm going to go into my media here on top. And I'm going to choose a image gallery. You can also go into insert, of course, in the menu bar. And you have an option here to Insert Image Gallery. Same thing. And I click on that. I've got my box here and it tells me yet to drag images inside. So I'm going to drag that in, make a slightly smaller and resize it. I'm gonna make sure my logo stays closer to that. Perhaps I want to centralize that using the guidelines. Amazing, I can do that. And now if I want to add images, I can drag them in. Now I've got this little button that we saw before in our image placeholder. And when I click on it, this does not access to my library directly, actually access to my find it. So I can go to the exercise files. So if you check the Exercise Files in Module 7 and the images, you'll see all the Marcus Aurelius images highlighted them all, and click on open. Now they're all being added. And now if I scroll through, I can see all of them in older, but some of them are kind of cropped. So what I can do, I can go to one of these, I can double-click on them and it can actually resize the crop. I can go, just go back down, press done, and I can modify pretty much the rest. I can go here, double-click and make it slightly smaller. Press Done. I can go to the following one as well. I will click. So these are the original that we'd not alpha, but it's fine for now. I think about I leave it as it is like this. I'm going to go back to this one. I'm going to double-click. I'm going to crop it as well. And we're gonna go to the first one, double-click area adjusted. The fact that you've got this white frame around the other, really like it. So I'm going to make sure that it's nice. And frame. I can also move it around as well. I'm going to leave it like this press Done. I think it looks great. So I'm going go through this one as well. This is fine as finding this kind of that is fine when I go to the next one and the next one and the next one. Perfect. After you type your caption, you can click on the actual box here. And on the inspector, you have now under format a tab for galleries. And when I click on that, now I've got the option here to add a caption or remove the caption altogether. Or I can even add individual captions per image or same caption for all images up to you, how you want to have it. And also the audit of your images. Down below, you can add more imaged by pressing the plus. We can remove with the minus, of course, and you have altered the bottom the image description. So you can actually go to each image and, and write a description down below. So this is the way to add your image gallery into your document. And again, you can also put your captions down below are not going to do. And now I'm going to feel these up later on for the next class. Coming up next. 58. Linking text boxes: Another way to manage text boxes is by linking them between each other. And this one I'm going to show you in this class, I'm using the document thoughts of microbes or alias or 36 by it doesn't matter. You can not see open any document, any blank document to follow through. I just drag that these three images in. I'm going to click on a text button here on top to add a textbox. And I'm going to drag this on the side here. I can resize it, of course. And I'm going to make it same height as the image. I'm going to put it like this. Perhaps I'm going to highlight, I'm going to align it to the one below and just copied some text from above. So I'm going to double-click inside the text box. I'm gonna do Command V or paste. I've got some missing text, as you can see, I've got that plus icon down below. No further, don't have any room to extend that. The only thing I can do here is to resize with Xbox by dragging one of the border to try and to feed the entire tax-based effects is too long or may need to create another text box somewhere else. And that's what I'm gonna do now. What I will do my button on top taxed again, I'm going to add the second Xbox here on the side. I'm going to resize that as well. Let's say I'm going to make it the same width at the one below. It doesn't really matter. But just to give you an example, and I'm going to add another 1 third, 1 down below as well. I'm going to just recite it from there. And I'm going to make it a little bit higher. Now, if I want to link this textbox and carry on my tax in the second, I can click on the little circle on top there. So that would give me this number, number one, and go to the second and click on again on a circle on top. And that will automatically link it to number two by still got some missing deck. So I'm going to put my third textbox here. I'm going to click on the circle, and that is going to automatically appear number three. So this will automatically then link the three together. Now again, resize them. And as you notice, as soon as I resize them, the tax will behave accordingly to the size of the text-box. Of course, this is the easiest way to create link text boxes. And also if you want to change the order of these textboxes and see when I go from here, carry on reading here and then go into the next column. Perhaps you can click on these number on top and you have an option here to change the order. So the moment is number two, I can actually click on number 3. And then we'll swap automatically to the other box. The options you've got down below, you have also an option to create a new thread or removed from Fred altogether. So you can carry on doing this in another page or from another text box altogether. So play around with these textboxes links. You might find them very useful, especially if you want to create a brochure or something similar to a newspaper. 59. Working in Page Layout mode: By now you should be able to have a good grasp on how to create word processing documents from scratch. But what about creating a graphic using the Page Layout mode? And that's what we're gonna do in this module. We're going to create something graphics such as a brochure or a booklet, or even a family recipe book just from scratch using page layout. Now I've already created this document in the exercise file, so we're going to use that. And we're going to also start from a blank document as well. So we can actually copy and paste some text and you can see exactly what I'm doing step-by-step. So I'm going to open a blank document. First of all, by double-clicking on a blank document, it's going to open our document here, which is a word processing document. How do I know that? Because I've got this blinking cursor here going on. So I have to basically remove that by going to file and convert this to a page layout. So I can also change the page layout by going to document in the main spectrum in the top right hand corner. And then going down to documents by the anime tick this box. Same thing. So I'm going to convert here. And I'm going to move this document on the site that we're going to go into our exercise files here in the top right-hand corner. Then I will to Module 8. And we're going to open the document called Four Seasons recipe one. That is the one we need to open, which is our pre-made document here. And we got all these are the pages. So we're gonna go through each individual page and I'm going to show you are actually started to make this document from scratch. So we're going to have the other window here on the side. Now I'm not going to use this preview screen at the moment because I want to access to the desktop and I wanted to show you step-by-step what I'm doing. So for now, I'm going to leave it like this. And perhaps, and we're going to minimize this as well. We're going to just now drag the images into our first page. This is a family book. So I'm going to go and just minimize this for a second. I'm going to go to my exercise files and I've got my images under the Images folder. And I'm going to choose for Susan recipe 7, that's our image down. We're going to drag it and drop it into our page. And then we're going to make this beach slightly bigger. And then we're going to resize this. So I want to have that end portrait. And by the way, we have an option to change the orientation here on the right-hand side. So I'm going to basically double-click on this image to crop it when a drug the borders here to just resize it roughly like this and press Done. And now I'm going to resize it. I'm gonna make it slightly bigger. Gonna make sure it goes the bottom here and move it up a little. And I'm going to centralize it. Perfect. I'm going to play it. It will affect das, so I can actually go into form a tier on the top right corner. Let me just make this slightly bigger. And then we're going to go into style and choose a nice border. Border here. Choose line. And actually no picture frame. And go into the picture frame menu here to choose something like this, like a paper cut, quite like that, and choose to have a scale of 70 per ups to make it slightly subtle. But it's there, which is, which has got a nice shadow as well, the background. So now we want to add a header. So we already have a header on top. What we're going to create a text box before dragging into the ADA. So we're going to go into a text box here. We have this nice text box and we're going to start to type something in it than that and just resize it. Make us lady up there. And I'm going to just type something in it. You can do the same thing. So I just centralized that text. And I basically put these lines here down below to make it look cool. So I just copy and paste this from the other document. And I just created this text box. Perfect. Now I can copy that. Actually I can cut it by using command acts by all. But you can go to edit and use cut. And then you can paste it into this text-box by doing Command V, and it will then paste it. Now this is going to be our header and he's going to repeat for each individual page. In the next video, I'm gonna show you how to add titles and also the second page. 60. Adding text and images Part 1: Now is the time to add some text. We're going to do it by using a textbox. But when I click on the text box there, and we're going to drag that on top. Now just copying something from the document, I'm going to just double-click that and I'll press Command V to paste it. And I'm going to just resize this box. I've got this plus sign that tells me that I've got some missing text and I'm going to make it slightly bigger. So feel free to copy and paste from the other document or otherwise, you can just highlight something, type urine text and change it to the font on the side. I use basket feel for this and basket field for the description as well. So let's make this a little bit bigger. 150. So you'll see what I'm doing. And now I can just reposition it that way. I want. Perhaps it just slightly there. Perfect. And now is the time to go to the second page. So we're going to go into the plus here on top. And we have our second page. And by the way, if you want to see the thumbnail view can go to the view here, the top-left go to Page Thumbnails. Okay, we have our second page and then we're going to add something else here as well. So I'm going to add another text box here. I'm going to move it on a site. And I'm going to make it to like this. Usually when you start to create a brochure like this, you might want to have perhaps the layout in front of you first, and then you can start to type your word into it. Let's, let's add a shape. Now. I'm going to add just a normal shape. And I'm going to move it on the side here. Perhaps I want to make it slightly bigger. And there we go. We have our lines. If you want to have some guidelines, why are you making this brochure? You can actually use the Command R to bring your rulers in. It can actually drug guidelines, fixed guidelines while you're working on it. So you can actually see if everything is aligned. In order to do that, you have to place the cursor where the ruler is unsafe. When I bring up a vertical line, make sure cursor is on the ruler and you click and hold and drag. And now you have that yellow line that you can actually move whatever you like. And this is going to stay there for as long as you want. And then if you want to remove it, you simply drag that line out and it will be puffed out. So I'm going to drag that line back in. I can do the same thing for horizontal line by dragging the border, by dragging the ruler from the top. And I can do the same thing. You have to realign everything. So this can be quite handy to work with it. And start to create your, your lines backwards. They're not going to be printed. But this can give you a good idea of where to drag and drop your objects. And I'll copy and paste some text here as well. I'm going to create another text box now down below. Perhaps I'm going to resize that whenever you make a little bit bigger, double-click on a type something in it. And again, I can resize that as well. Something's missing, so I'm going to make it slightly bigger. Okay, I'll rearrange all of this anyway. And I can even move these guidelines again so we aren't going to rearrange everything. So you can your freedom to move around as much as you want. Now we're going to add a couple of images. So we're going to go into the exercise file. I'm gonna go to media choose. And let's go to our images here. I'm going to choose something like see what we got here. We have this one. I like it. Yeah, let's do that and then resize that. Were on the side. We're going to add another one as well. Choose perhaps our tomatoes. Perfect. Resize that as well. This is a vertical one, so I'll probably have to crop it. Just do that and crop, crop it for now and then again, still go back here and adjust it. Perfect. Now a document started to take shape, and I'm going to probably change the color of that to something more greenish. So I'm going to try that in grain is too bright. Let's try something darker. And I'm going to just paste something in it abrupt. I'm going to just choose a different color. Later on we're going to paste some text. And by the way, when you are in shape, you can double-click and start to type your own text if you like. And it will start from this from the center and just guessing, just copied some texts somewhere else and then I just paste it like this and just resize it. There we go. So this is the way to get started. And then you can see the proportion and more around and see how it looks and perhaps keep consistency with the rest of the pages. 61. Adding text and images Part 2: Okay, So far so good. We added our images. We had also some nice picture frame as well, and we can realign everything else. Of course, you can still use those guidelines I was showing you before. Just kind of realign everything if you'd like to. And I remove them from that because I couldn't actually see, probably for my point of view. But again, this is very subjective. You may want to have those guidelines anyway, but I'm going to remove them from now. And let's create our third page of Google to add a page. And as you notice here, I've got two different choices. When I was in a word processing mode, I didn't have this choice. But now I've got suddenly a choice here. So basically I can actually see my pages as master pages. And I'm going to trigger this later on in this chapter, but for now, and we're going to use these pages actually it's blank copy because I want to make another page similar to this, but just want to change the images and the tax, I'm going to click on that. I'm going to just make some changes here. Perhaps I'm going to delete that and get rid of the second part. And perhaps I want to just resize this text box. By the way, to resize the text box, click away, click inside again until you see these white dots, and then you can drag it, drag them all the way you want, and then drag them up, down. We can resize this image, perhaps bring the image down a little bit. Perhaps I want to double-click and crop it. Let's say their breasts away oppressed done. To finish the cropping. And I'm going to drag something else inside. And number 2 media, I'm going to go to choose, I'm going to choose another image. What I will do my images here. And I'm going to go to see what I've got here. I'm going to choose that one. Insert. Now, got that one. Now I'm going to delete that one on down below. And then I resize this. No problem. I'm gonna just make it slightly smaller. Just that fits in my portrait breast done. I'm going to resize that purpose. I'm going to crop a little bit more. And now I'm going to move it around. I'm going to centralize that. And it looks about right to proclaim, to move a little bit more. Now, going over to my border, good to pitch frame. And it's going to play the same picture frame as the first image. Pretty clever. I'm going to make a little bit bigger. And then those who are just men anyway, but I'm going to change the tax now on this. And I'm going to make, well, actually crop a little bit more, going to drag it up a little bit more upside to basically move the image. So I'm going to double-click on it. We're going to move the image up. Described big anyway. Make sure I've got these black dots by double-clicking on the image, I can actually bring back, I can bring back those dots and embraced done. In Cancun or double-click again perhaps on a crop is slightly more and click, Done. Okay? And then I'm going to change the text, double-click down. I'm going to just Command V, paste the new tax. Then I'm going to resize that as well. Perfect. And then I'm going to just add something else as well. I'm going to add a shape. Perhaps I'm going to just move this shape on the side down below here. Kinda make a nice text box here. I'm going to change also the color, and I'm going to choose something like in my palette per up something red. Or perhaps I want to clone a color. Let's go into the palette here. Click on the eyedropper and I'm going to just clone or one of these brownish color looks good. And double-click on our type something in it. Brilliant. So I'm going to just make this box slightly bigger. I'm going to click on the box. And when you see the white lines is the right time to resize it. Perhaps make a slightly wider. And perhaps I want to also add some border to border here. And I can make some white border. And that's it. And then the next step is to go into readjust these images a little bit and to go to the next step. 62. Adding text and images Part 3: Okay, so let's go to the next step by creating our fourth page. We're going to the plus again, and this time we're going to use a blank page. And again we have our header and we're going to add something similar to page number two. So we could in theory, copy and paste this and then amend something. We could do that. I can actually just drag the whole lot. Compress command C. I can go to the next one down below here. I can press Command V and then do my changes. I can go on top there and type something else. So I can actually highlight that. And I can go there and paste something else. Perfect. I'm going to leave this as it is. Perhaps. I'll just remove this. I'm gonna make this smaller and I'm going to pay some other texts into it. And again, I just copy and paste some text from the document just to make it little bit faster. So you see what I'm doing. But at the same time it gives you an idea of how you could start creating your own brochures. And again, I can actually use that image in conjunction with that. Make the same width. And perhaps changing the frame width something like a line and resize it. And actually I'm going to change the image with something else. I'm going to go to My Media, choose. Let's say I've got some nice image of tomatoes. Let's see what they are. I think I've got another one that steepness. I went there, press Insert, and then I'll get rid of that one, Ashley. And I'm going to resize this. I'm going to go here, resize it. Still realign it. And now I'm going to add a shape here, Sullivan who image. I'm going to tap on, Delete and then I'll go into my shape and I'm going to add a shape here, just a normal. Standard shapes start with something very simple at the beginning and then you can amend later on. I'll double-click and paste some text. Perfect. And then I'm going to change the color. Perhaps I want to change the color to red. So I didn't go to a high drop here and just cloned the rad of these tomatoes here. We're really antiquated like that. Kind of very Italian. And again, probably need to match the color of that text to the, to the rads. And I'm going to highlight that. And we're gonna go into the pilots that we're going to also use the hand drop I dropped to clone the color to make it the same. Perfect. And let's see, you want to change that with something else? I want to delete that. And we're going to add another couple of textboxes here, one here, and another one down below. Perhaps like this. Perfect. And let's see if we can copy some text. Now, let's double-click down. Press Command V to paste. All right, and we're going to do the same thing down below here and paste something else. Resize that text box. To be more missing text, I'm going to probably have to do the same thing here to align it together. The look the same. Okay? All right, so and then the next step we're going to add our fifth page. 63. Adding text and images Part 4: Okay, Now is the time to add our last page. So if you following up, open the file called four seasons recipe or four, and we're going to just use another page. This case going to use a blank page. And we're going to copy and paste actually the textbox from here and then do Command V, one C command V, and type something else. Yes, ma'am. Okay. And let's make a smaller roughly about there, perhaps a little bit down. And then we're going to add a new image. We're going to do media choose. And let's see what image we got here. Nice pizza like X1 here. So recipe six were due. I'm going to make this large enough. I don't want to go beyond the page here. Let's make it slightly bigger. Bigger. They would do. And again, when you start to reorganize your pages, you can actually go to arrange the only inspector. You can see the size of the image comparing to the rest of your sizes. For instance, if this one is 7.5 inches by 826, perhaps you want to make the other one, the same. Ad essay will look at this one. This is actually the cover, so it's lazy, so it's slightly bigger. But again, I can actually copy and paste the same measurements to the new one. So 7.5 by eight, 26, I can go here, do the same thing. I click on that, then goes home 0.5.5. And this is actually constrain the proportion of that image. So I would have to crop it first. Otherwise, if I have removed constrain is going to squash my image, which I don't want. So I'm going to double-click on that. And I'm going to probably make that small enough, let's say up to them. And let's go back to the other one. The other one was 8.26. So I'm going to make sure is the same as 852. So I'm going to go down here. 826 also have the indicator that says Perfect, 826, perfect. And now I'm going to go into centralize it. Nice. And I'm going to add also eight tax box action. I'm going to add a shape. Shapes are perfect for graphics because you can actually use them as a textbox. Day, less more in the textbox. So you can actually change the size, of course now, you can also change the shape of a tax box as well. By if you have a shape already, you have visually the ADL, how you want to rearrange the object into your, into your page. And then you can change the color. I'm going to double-click on an angle and just paste some text. And the resize that click outside and click inside again and resize that a little bit more. Let's make a little bit larger text here. I'm going to up a little bit more, perfect. And then I'm going to change the color as well. Perhaps I'm going to use one of these dark green here. I'm going to go into the shape and then go to Style. Go to the pilot, use the eyedropper and point at these green here. Perhaps you want to have something a little bit more greenish than that. Perfect. I can also change it later on. And we'll also use a border. I don't want to have a line or perhaps something they've chosen before. Yeah, line. This is the arcade, the fourth one down. So I'm going to go down here and choose the same list. Six. Yeah, let's see how it looks like. Go to Border picture frame. And the fourth one has been chosen. Actually want to choose this one is the one that I used before on the cover and the third page as well. Perfect. Now I'm going to make a little bit of changes here. Okay, so we added all our pages and we're going to now create some master pages in the next videos. 64. Using Master pages: Okay, now our document is ready, but what about we want to use this in the future without doing all of these copy and paste that I was doing before, we can actually think about saving it as a template. Now when we save something as a template is good that we can actually reuse it over and over. But what about we working on a template and we start to kind of saving and over and over for other days. And then we decide actually paid to it doesn't look that good. And I want to go back to the previous version of the master. Now pages allows you to create master pages so we can actually add reapply the default page again, if you actually super useful. So if you click on any of these page, you'll notice on the inspector, I've got the Format tab open and I've got something called change muster under Page Layout. That gives me a clue that I can actually create musters here so I can click on Change muster. It shows me the two pages out there we'd been shown before and we are pressing the plus button and add page. So we can actually create a more of this by using the one we've just done here. So I'm going to click away from that. I'm going to go into one of this and I've got an option down below into my inspector here to add it Master page. So if I do that is going to show me this master page, which has the image and the text that I added. And I've got here on the left-hand side, my thumbnails. So these are the thumbnails of my master's. I haven't created any master's yet, but that's what I'm gonna do now I'm going to click on that. And this is actually my master's already. So I don't have to really change anything here. I'm going to leave it as it is and press Done. So this is already saved as my master. So let's go to the second page now and create the muster out of this page. So I'm going to go into Format on top. I'm going to go to Advanced. And now I've grown up from top says create master from current page. And that's what we're gonna do now when I click on that. And now as you can see, it went back into the master view. And I've got now my second page as must an ARG and move it down to reorganize that, I can right-click on the thumbnail and go to Rename. And when I renamed that as my cover page, press. Okay. Then I'll do a second one again, right-click. When I called this recipe page too. Actually I'm going to call it ingredient pH press. Okay. That's pressed down at the bottom right hand corner here to go back to our view. And now we're gonna go to the third one and do the same thing here. I'm going to go to Format advanced, create master from current page. And I'm going to go right-click on it and rename it. And I'm going to call it cover two. Recipe page. Press Okay. And press Done at the bottom there. Cool. So now that I'm actually adding all these pages as a master, if I go to the plus sign here on the top left hand corner to add a new page. Now I've got the option to choose between my masters, so very handy and time-saving. So I'm going to go through the other ones as well. And by the way, I haven't actually named the last to buy if I wanted to go to the Inspector here under Edit Master page. And I can just go into any of these page and renamed them. And by the way, this should be attracted the bottom, let me just change the position of them. So this should be also right before the last one. And we have our cover on top. We have our second one there. 1 fourth, 1 fifth, 1, perfect. All right, so now we have our masters and we can press the done button here at the bottom right-hand corner. And now we can actually use that muster for other purposes, for other document. Before we save this document as a template, we need to make sure that these texts and images are converted as a place holder for it. I'm going to just do the first page and then you can do the rest by itself. So I'm going to click on the image first. I'm going to go to Format and I'm going to advance. So that when he is defined as a media Place Order By if I want to have that nice icon at the bottom right-hand corner ad to go to advanced AI, to click on it. And then I'm going to go back to Format advance and click on Define, Media place order again. Now I've got that nice label icon. And I can go to the box, I can highlight the text. And by the way, these are two different texts. So I'm going to highlight the first one. Go to Format, advance and create that as a place holder. So define as placeholder text, that's one. And also the description down below, the same thing, format advanced, defined as placeholder text. And now they're both placeholders perfect. Before we save this as a template. So we can also do another thing. We can actually select the text. And if we like the font style and the way we choose the colors as well, we can save this as a muster as well. So we're going to format, we can go to Advanced and now we have an option down below to set this as a default textbox appearance. So if I do that, now next time, I can actually reapply that to all of my text boxes in my document. So very handy feature. Now you need to do the same thing for the rest of your documents. So you can use that as a template. So once we've done that, we can go into saving it as a template by going to File Save as a template. And now you know how to do it by using AT to template user. 65. Saving as Template: Hopefully we have changed all the text boxes and image as a place holder as well. And now we are ready to save this as a template. So I'm using the file Four Seasons recipe or six, if you're following up, you're gonna go to File on top and we're going to go to Save as Template. I'm going to go to Add to template chooser. And we're going to call this recipe book Latin. And just press actually a recipe, the recipe book and press Return. Perfect. Now we can use this template for all our future recipes. 66. Reapply Master pages: I just want to give you any sense of what the benefits are to having a master page. Let's say I'm just working on this document and I want to just change things around on this page. Perhaps I want to get rid of that. And perhaps I started to just do my changes and decide actually, I want to get rid of everything and start from scratch. I can do that. I can actually put something else in there and perhaps a change in my mind. And I'm what I call back to the default master. So I'll can I do with that? So I can actually reapply the master without having to go to Add Page and re-add the muscle, which is going to add another additional page. I'm gonna reapply them us directly here. So I can actually click on the thumbnail here, on the left-hand side. And by the way, fake get drew the vault. So the header for instance, I can go to now format and I've got an option to reapply master to page. So if I do that, everything will come back but the header. So I would have to go somewhere else to get the header on. I'm going to click on the header. I'm going to press Command C to copy. And I'm going to press on the header on top command V to paste it, and I'm back to square one. So this is one of the advantages of having master pages saved. And also by using these nifty be the feature to reapply the master to the page without having to add another page from scratch. 67. Add alignment guides: Now that our document is ready, we created our master slides about what about using alignment guides to give us visual way to align our object easily. So for instance, if we're going to page 2 here, I've got a bunch of images of this shape. I've got this textboxes are, I would like to have some guidelines, especially if I want to remake this document again. And guidelines can be very useful. Why are you making a document, but also for your master pages? So for instance, if I want to drag a guidelines here and into just hover the cursor over one of these ruler, the vertical or horizontal rule. And then I can drag with my mouse into the page and you'll see now I've got these yellow line. I can actually apply it to my document. And I can do the same thing again if I go into the ruler, click and hold and drag. So I'm creating these guidelines are, by the way, these are not going to be printed, but is a good indication for me to align objects within my document. So I'm not gonna do the same thing on the horizontal line as well. Again, go down here. I can make this horizontal line. So this is very useful here while I'm creating a document. What about I want to apply this to my master pages because if I go to edit the master pages now, you'll notice these guidelines are gone. So I would like to have these guidelines here now will be in previous version of pages. So you couldn't do this. Now with the new update, we can actually apply the guidelines here as well. So before we do that, I'm going to just go back by clicking on Done here at the bottom right-hand corner. And I'm gonna get rid of these guidelines by dragging them out. So all introducing be dragged them. When you see the two arrow cursor on that, you drag it out. So you drag it where the ruler is, and it puffs that out and unnormal. The same thing for the horizontal as well. Perfect. And I'm going to go into my Edit Master page and I'm going to apply them here so I can actually go same way. I'm going to drag them from the ruler itself. I'm going to make my guidelines so I can do this, but many people use this for graphics. And of course you can use this in page layout where we are now when we have to deal with graphics mainly. And so we know exactly where to drop our images without our, our shapes and text, without doing any random measurements, we know exactly where they are. Now that I've done with my guidelines, I can go to done now with the guidelines will stay there. As you can see now, they're there, but I cannot remove them from my document now you see they're fixed because they part of my master page. So now I can play around here, I can move my shapes around my object, anything else that I want. And we're using these guidelines by name if I want to change them, Eigen go back into my master slide. Of course, I'm going to click on the thumbnail here on the left-hand side. So my inspector will show me the Format, Page Layout and and I'm ready to click on it, the master page and then do my modification. If I wanted to move them around fallen to readjust them, I can do them here. So this can be very useful for those of us. We use a lot of graphics and want to have some guidelines in their master pages. 68. Adding colours and images in backgrounds: When we work in page layout, we also have the ability to change the background of our document with an image or weird colors as well. In this video, we're using document Four Seasons recipe 07, if you following up in page number one, now we have this nice, beautiful photo of a pizza that we added before as an image on its own. Or what about when I use this as my page background? In the previous versions of pages, I would have to basically make this image full-screen by dragging it beyond the borders to make it look good. But now, instead of doing this, I can actually get rid of the image by pressing Backspace. And I can go direct link to my Inspector under Format, Page Layout, Make sure you see this. To make sure you see this. If you are anywhere in the document, you might see something different to just click on the thumbnail here on the left-hand side. And they're under format, you'll see page layout and now you have an option for changing the background. If I click on that pop-up menu, it says null feel. I can choose a color fill, I can choose a gradient fill. I can choose Advanced great and feel, and also image fail and advancing materials. So, but basically, right-click also on this little icon here on the side. This is a quick column select allows me just to choose a color from that. And there we go. Now my document page is yellow. So I can go into that and choose any of these colors. I can go into the gradient fields here if I want to make like a nice gradient field with two colors and change them down here. I can also go into image field. So if I've got an image, if I use the image before, he's going to add that image here, at the moment, I haven't added any image yet, so that's why I've got sort of a tile image. I can go down here on the pop-up menu and choose, for instance, call Phil and Lil my coloring here, and go to the quick select so I can go to the palette by clicking on the little circle there and choose one of my preset colors if I wanted to, can do that, or I can go to Image field. So go to Image feel down below here. Miro to choose down below one of the images from the exercise files. Let's try the one we've chosen before. Now we go That one's going to click on Open. And now the image is nice and fullscreen. Page layout now gives us an option to make our document even greater. 69. New ways to style text: Whether you work in Page Layout when we're processing mode. Now pages offers us a way to change the font and the way it looks on our document in a more graphic, appealing way. I'm going to just add another title here down below by going to my text at the top. And I've got my text down here, I'm going to just move it slightly. And I'm going to change that to four zones. Secret, secret. We're going to change it to white and I'll go to my inspect on the format style and I go to Fill. Actually, I'm going to use this nice quick selector to do a nice background. Or perhaps I want to make it with our background. I'll just use nor fill and I'm going to go to tax actually and change it to a different color. Let's try white for now. Now, weird pages. Now if I make that slightly bigger gun and just probably increase that box by doing Command Plus. So when you have the text-box selected, when you see actually the white dots. So you can do Command plus to make the text bigger. And you see here, and if you see the plus icon appearing means you need to make the text box slightly bigger. There we go. So we can make that centralized. And also make the even bigger. Now, with the new version of pages, you have another section done, but again, you Inspector, which is your tax color. Now with tax color, we can change that to whatever color we like. Or we could also go to gradient field now. So now we can make a nice gradient effect, do our font or we can go into and use advanced gradient field if we want to make that a combination of three colors that give us a little bit of smooth transition and Ming between the two colors. So when I click on any of these squares here on my slider, I've got a color palette that are appearing and I can choose a different color. And as you can see now, my font will change. And I can do the same thing on the other one. Click on that. And now I can change the color of that one. And then I can even do choose the eye drop to pick up one of the color from the pizza here, for instance, and have something that it's more. Let's try the other one. A little bit more related to what I'm doing. So again, you can have a lot of choice here. You can actually move this stuff around. You can change that again to make it a bit or add. I can actually click that and choose a green like an Italian sort of a theme and have that. Perhaps it this way goes to change the angle of the color by using the little knob there. Or I can choose actually there, the numbers here up and down to change around. I can change also the way the light of the color looks like that one is Tao and he's using a linear gradient. I can also choose a centralized gradient to have the main color in the center and everything else. Like in a circle, going out in circle. So you could do that as well. So Avar, fun with that. A lot of, a lot of choices you have now, weird, you're attacks than other thing you can do. He's also using image fail or advance image fields. If I click on image field is going to add an image. If I were to choose, I can choose any of my images here from my exercise files. Let's, let's try that one now. The four season for season recipe sex image. And now as you can see in the background, you can see the image in the background. So if I make that taxed even bigger, and if I change the texts as well to something else, Let's try to use the Baskerville. We can choose something a little bit thicker. Just to show you what sort of things you can do. Perhaps we can try something like impact and makes him very thick and thick enough. You can actually see a little bit more. And if you want to can go to style and perhaps change the background to something like that. Or something like white. Little bit darker, perhaps a yellow. So you can play around with that. I think yellow would do. So. You see you can actually make your tax looks great. And of course, you can do even a better job with them myself by adding a different image. But if you go to tax again, you can go to the scale here. Now I've chosen scale to feel, but you can go to scale to fit, to make it smaller. Male course you're going to lose the rest of the text. You can try Dial to repeat that stretch to stretch the image or original size. So it's really up to you how you want to have it. Like to use scale to fill. But again, it really depends on the fonts are you going to use? And again, it's all about playing around with the tax, with the fonts. You even trying to choose something a little bit more thicker Arbor ups if you have your specific font or you download it and you want to use that image, right? Arial Black for instance. Yeah, that's another way to do it when commands at why, like the impact actually. So again, play around with this. This is all very subjective. It's really up to you how you want to use it. But now pages gives you a lot more options by using your custom font and adding different colors, different gradient, and also images as well. 70. New ways to style text Part 2: But let's say we want to ditch the background that we aren't click on the background there. We're going to go to the fill here. We're going to make it no fill. And we're going to highlight the text that says something more creative here. I'm going to highlight the text. We're gonna go into the inspect on the format text. Now on, once we're here, we can go to the little gear icon here on the Advanced Options. And then we're gonna go down to outline. So when I click on outlined now I've got a nice border around my text. I can make that border black. Let's try that with a quick selector. I looked much better and then I can change also the thickness of my borders for wanna make it slightly thicker. I can do that and click away to see how it looks, perhaps is too thick, and go back to that gear and make it 1. I can also use Shadow if I want to make it more graphically appealing. And now I can make that, for instance, I can add that on top, like this on the side. Let's see. I can actually move the whole lockdown and put that on top. Let's see if it works this way. But then the stacks is going to be very hard to actually look at. Yeah, and I can move the text down here. I can resize it. So it's really up to you how you want to make this. I can make that actually a little bit bigger. Now we go and then I can make that and going up a little. So as you can see, pages now gives you a lot of flexibility with tax, adding colors, adding image feel and gradient feel. So play around with these, be creative and I'll see you in the next video. 71. Record audio directly in the page: Now we are back to the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 37, if you following up now in this video, I'm going to show you how to record audio into your document. So now there is a chance to record your own voice. Who someone else's voice as a narrator who has a commentary, for instance, you might want to have this document as interactive document where people can actually click the play button to listen while it's all about. Perhaps the page is all about or perhaps a specific fault. So they, you add perhaps you want to have a commentary next to it. So there are different ways you can use audio. Now, the easiest way to record something in pages by going to Insert and the top of the menu bar. And we're gonna go into record audio. Now when I do that is going to show me this little record icon down below. I can click on the Record button and record. That's what I'm gonna do now. I'm going to record my voice just for few seconds so as to show you how that works, want to click on record. High. This is thoughts of Marcus Aurelius book to how to start today. I'm going to stop it there. So now that I recorded it, I can actually go back by using the scroll bar here and press preview. Hi, this is thoughts of Marcus Aurelius book to how to start today. I'm going to stop it there. Okay. So as you notice, I was recording also the last part. But let's say I want to edit this so I can do that as well. But before I do that and just press insert, let's say let's assume that this recording was okay. You press Insert, and now I've got these icon here in the middle of the page that I can move around. Perhaps I want to have it on the side here. And I can actually create a text box saying click here to listen to the commentary or something. So you can actually make it like this. You can put it at the bottom, is really up to you. And then if you want to play it or you need to do is just click on it. Hi, this is thoughts of Marcus Aurelius book to how to start today. Okay, so let's say now I want to edit the last part because it looks like I've got some other recording there. I'm going to stop it there. I want to remove the last part. So what you can do when you click on the audio, you'll notice that the inspector is content sensitive. So I'm just going to show me under the format, the audio section. Now I can go here. I can actually play that from here. I can rewind and fast-forward. I can go and change the volume as well level. I can repeat that in loop. Now, click on Edit Recording. Now by the way, you can also right-click on the actual audio icon and do that editing from there as well. So I'm going to click on that. Now I've got these little tiny window down below here that allows me to really listen to my audio and also to agitate. So I'm going to click on Edit now at the top right-hand corner, that little window. And I've got these other window popping up on top. And now I can listen to that again by pressing preview. Hi, this is thoughts of Marcus Aurelius book to how to start today. I'm going to stop it there. So let's say I want to get rid of the last part here. I can drag one of these handles. As you can see when I hover the cursor over these handles are called digital hand and drag it, Let's say right there. Really sent to it. Hi, this is thoughts of Marcus Aurelius. Book to how to start the day. Perfect and say, I'm happy with that. I'm going to click on the Caesars down below here. Of course I've got the option to delete the entire recording or to rerecord on top of it. So I'm going to just press Caesar's. And now I've got that trimmed and click on Done. And my recording is now clean and click on Save down below. And the recording now is finished. So now I can add any recording I want into as many pages I like to make my document more interactive. 72. Text to audio speech: In the previous video was showing you how to record your voice in your document by using the record audio feature. But what about we want to add another voiced or UPS and more professional voice to read through the text. Perhaps you want to make the tax interactive and we want to listen to at Olin reading it. So one of the ways to do that is to highlight the text and use something that is under our services options. So I'm going to drag, Let's say my cursor from the title. I'm going to highlight the first paragraph here. So I'm going to highlight this text. Now if I right-click with my cursor, I've got an option under services. It allows me to do a few things and one of them is to add to iTunes as a spoken track. So these allows me to actually use Mac voice to read the text for me. But before I do that, I need to basically set that up in my system preferences. If I do it directly from here now, is going to give me an option to choose the voice, of course, by if I click on that pop-up menu is going to show me all the voices available, including all the other languages. So without me going here and guessing who is, how they sound, I'm going to just cancel for now. I'm going to go into my system preferences down below here. And I'm going to go into my accessibility. So we click on Accessibility. And under there you will find an option for speech. When I click on speech, now, I have got my system voice, which is Kate. If I click on that, I can choose to have a new English voice. I can have an American voice, can choose under customize whatever language you decide. But for the moment I'm going to choose the United Kingdom, Kate. And click on it and I can click on Play. Hello, my name is Kate. I am a British English voice. So you can choose also the speed of speech by just moving this slider. If I let go there and I press Play, Hello, my name is Kate. I think it would do that and just use the red button to close. Now we're going to go back here. And when I right-click on that, you're going to go to services and add to iTunes as a spoken track. And now I've got again these other options I'm going to choose here on my list. Kate. Kate, There we go as Kate. And then I'm going to rename this Marcus Aurelius book two. And instead of saving into music, I'm going to save it into my desktop so it's easy to find. But when I press continue is going to convert this into my desktop and it's going to also save it into my IT. And so I'm going to click on Continue. Now let me just resize pages because I'm not going to tell me when that tax is finished is pretty immediate. Actually going to just drag one of the border here to reveal the desktop. As you notice, I've got my audio there. So I could potentially click on an ad. But as you notice how it is appeared and he went directly into my agent so I can go to iTunes down below when I click on iTunes. And if you go to recently added, you will see it is there if I press play, how to start the day, begin the morning by saying to yourself, I shall meet with a busy body, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, and VS. So it's just basically reading for the tax. So what I can do, I can actually drag this text into my document by just doing what I did now. And now I've got another audio file that I can actually add on the side there. And people can just click Cloud to start the day, begin the morning by saying TOC. So you basically can listen to the tax without your reading, which is quite nice. This feature can be used for all your guides or like manual guides, their guides you through certain instructions. For instance, you want to make interactive guides. And that is something you can do in pages easily by doing text to speech. 73. Adding Videos: We learned a couple of ways to add audio into your pages document. But what about videos? Let's add videos now. So we're gonna go into the page number 5 and music the document, thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 39. If you're following up and I'm going to go into my exercise files here. So you have an optional so to add media videos as well directly in the toolbar here by clicking on media and the galaxy to my movies library directly here. Or you can go to choose, to choose a file as well. In this case, yeah, I don't have anything in my movies library by I've got something in my exercise files. Either by clicking on Choose all going directly on my desktop and I go to my desktop for now. I'll double-click that. And what to module eight. And under videos, you should be able to see this video here. So I'm going to drag that video in. Drag and drop like you do with the file or an image. I'm going to close this for now. I'm going to resize this as well to make as bigger. There we go. This is my video. So I might want to have, for instance, a paragraph that describes something like a music with the audio or a video that does this kind of shows you what the taxes are about perhaps. So on I'm going to resize this video and I'm going to move it. Let's say I'm gonna move it here. As you can see, the video behaves like a shape or an image to the text wraps around it. Perfect can make a slightly smaller if I want. And I can use the guidelines when they pop up. Perfect. And just move it slightly down here. Okay, so if I want to play the video now just pressed play, the video will play. And of course, if I stop it here in the inspector and I've got a tab for movies. I'm going to click on movie there. And here I can replace the movie from here. I can play it as well. I can change the volume. The volume is V and doesn't have any audio, so it's going to be irrelevant to move that. And also I can repeat that in loop or look back and forth if I wanted to. Or I can go to Edit Movie here on the triangle and then I can trim the movie here phis too long because is almost two minutes. If I want to make a shorter, I can simply drag these handles to make a shorter. So it's really up to you and a positive frame, of course, I can have a different image. And rather than have that image, how may want to have perhaps something more appealing. Perhaps I want to have something more graphic. Let's say a CT moving or yeah, or a mall or something like that. So I'm going to probably want to have that one now and then I'll leave it like this does is my boss reframe. So and this is as simple as that. This is how to add videos into your document. And you can use this also for books, e-books. If you want to make multimedia material, you can add videos and audios. The way I showed you in these videos. 74. Adding hyperlinks: In Pages now we can add hyperlinks to different pages and to also websites and email. So for instance, if I want to highlight a tax and by the way, I'm using the document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 40, if you are following up. So let's say I want to highlight that tax now, can right-click on it. And I've got an option to add link. Now I can link it to a webpage, to an email, or to a bookmark. So the bookmark would be one of the page within your document. So let's try to do that. So bookmark, we haven't actually talked about bookmarks yet. And let me just do something before I jump into this bookmark. Let me just click away from that. You'll notice on the inspector here, on the right-hand side, when I highlight attacks or anything else, I've got under document, three tabs have got document section we talked about Section previous lessons and bookmarks as well. And if I click on bookmarks, now I'm going to have any bookmarks here. And also these button down below is grayed out because I haven't selected actually the page. So if I click on the thumbnail here on the left-hand side and click on the page and the white background. You'll notice now I've got the option to add that as a bookmark if I wanted to. Now let's assume we don't know anything about this and we haven't marked anything as bookmark yet, even if you have like, let's say hundreds of pages as well. So we're gonna go into documents back. We're going to highlight our taxed again, and we're going to make a link from this little snippet here from Bader number 4 to page number two, actually the table of content. So I'm going to right-click on that. And I'm going to do Add Link. I'm going to choose Bookmark when I do that. Now pages will show up these other little window that tells me how do I want to display that link? I'm going to probably display as it is or the 12 to just change that paragraph and link to bookmark. And I'm going to link again to an email to a webpage. We're going to stick with bookmark for now. And then under bookmark, I haven't created any bookmark it. But look what happens when I click on this little pop-up menu is going to suggest me what bookmarks I have in my document, including all the pages that I created. This suggests that bookmarks and it starts from the table content all the way down to the document information, the last, the last page. So I can choose from this, for instance, for going to the table of content. I can do that. And now it gives me an option to jump into the bookmark if I wanted to, I can do it from here, or I can click away. And now if I click again on their free hover, the cursor over there. Now that's going to be my hyperlink. And when I click on go to bookmark is going to jump into my table of content. Now these link will be available when I export this document as either pages or as PDF or any other format. So this is going to be all my upper links. So if I wanted to do the same thing for another tax, I can go somewhere else here. I can highlight, for instance, a title or perhaps a phrase within a paragraph. Perhaps I want to highlight that. I want to make that as an hyperlink. I can do add link and I can also add it to a web page, to an e-mail as well. So let's go down to my contact. So these are already my hyperlinks for email. So if I'm going to click on it, it will automatically allows me to get into my emails. So if I want to do it for anything else, I can go to, for instance, the telephone number. This is not actually a link bike and make a link by just going right-clicking on it and add a link to a webpage. Perhaps. I may want to send them into a website so I can go there and I can actually type the website from that. So this is the way to create hyperlinks into your pages. And you can actually now navigate throughout your document using the hyperlinks, bookmarks. 75. Class Project - Home Assignment: If you've come this far through the modules, you probably have learned a lot of new features and other tips and tricks about pages. But before we jump into the next module, I would like you to go through this assignment. I've created this document called Southeast Asia trip. So if you double-click on it, you'll see you have this document is little booklet with all these images and is taxed. I would like you to use this as an inspiration for your new document. I would like you, you actually create something from scratch and perhaps copy and paste these images if you want or use your own images to kinda tell the story of your recent trip and do it similar to this. So do it even better than this if you can, and utilizes all these different media that I added here, including a video here at the end. So feel free to use all these images and videos and tax as well, just to practice and see how comfortable you are using the Page Layout mode in pages. In the following modules, we're going to talk about tables, charts, and also sharing and collaboration. Good luck with this assignment. 76. Adding tables: When you need to organize content in rows and columns, we probably want to use tables, and that's what we're going to cover in this module. We're going to add a table now, first of all, we need to create a page break in between the contacts and the end of this paragraph. By going to the beginning of that paragraph here at the top, I'll title, make sure you click before the title. And then we're gonna go into Insert. And we're going to create a page break. You can also use the menu bar on top on the Insert, and you can go to page break here as well. So I'm going to click on that. So now I've got my page break here on top. I can click annua at the beginning of that page when I call the cursor there. And now I'm ready to insert a table, which I can do in a couple of different ways. The first way is by going to the Insert on the top and the menu bar and go into table, which gives me header, row and other columns. The second one is just the basic, which gives me 1 had a row. Then we've got our plane table when nothing in it just agreed with no headers and that about sums. If I want to sum some numbers as well. So I'm going to, so this is one way to do it, but if I don't know how they look, if it's the first time you actually using tables, Probably you might find useful using the second method, which is going to the toolbar on top here by clicking on table. And then I can choose between these four tables. And again, the same header, basic, plain and SMS. And I can choose in-between a different kind of designs with different colors. So I picked up the green one before. So I'm going to stick with this and I'm going to choose nice basic habitable. So I'm going to click on it. When you add a table in your word processing document, you'll notice it will spread according to your margins. We edit this page from a to column paragraphs here. So a kind of repeated data into our margins. If I click anywhere here in my document, you'll notice on top the margins here. So if I, if I want to make this table longer, I would have to click on the table. And you notice when you do that, you have these white dots around it. And if I tried to drag this do with a shape or a textbox and won't let me go any further than the middle because that's where the margin is there. So in order to do that, I would have to change the way this is arranged in my page at the moment, it kind of behaves like a text. We're going to my inspection. I've got my format and I only have the option for title name here. I don't have an option to change the way is arranged my pages, I will have to click inside the table first. Once I see, now these white dots around my table and I see these letters on top and the rows numbers on the side. Now I can see that the inspector now change to this four tabs and the format I've got table cell, the next and arrange. And I'm going to arrange. I can see them. These table is moving with text, which I don't want. So I'm going to text wrap and I'm going to use none. So when I do that now if I drag now the dots to make it bigger, it will now let me make it much bigger and wider. Now let's have a look at what happened when you have this nice table. I can actually move it down if I wanted to. I'm free to move it. And I can add actually a title at the top. So I'm going to call this museum service 2018, 19. And I'm going to move this a little bit up. And now I'm going to click inside the table and we're going to just explored the inspector here on the right-hand side. I'm going to click on table. And by the way, I'm under format table, I can choose a different style organic or change my mind. I can change the style from here, just down below here, I can see, I can add headers and footers in my table. I've got one header, which is this green one here on top. I can also add some had the column by just going here and add one of that. So that will add the header column by in this case, I don't need that. And also the footer here, I can choose one, some footer here down below for sums. But I'm going to leave it as is for now. I can also have an option to add a table name. So if I click on that, it's going to come up with a table name here, but we already named it above here, so we don't need desk, so we're going to take that. I can choose the number of rows and columns directly from the inspector. If I want to increase that, I can increase the number of rows and columns. And I can do the same thing here. Actually few hover, the cursor over these columns is letters. You see this little arrow next to each of them. So if I click on this arrow, is going to give me a bunch of options. One of them is to add columns, before and after. Again delete columns. And I can do some other actions here. I can also go to the rows. And again, if I hover the cursor over the rows, I can see the little arrow next to it. And if I click on it, I got the same sort of functions as well. Perfect. So let's go back into our Inspector down below. I can also change the font style within the table by using these buttons. I can change also the table outline I want to have perhaps like with dashes, with dots, is really up to you. Or if thin line, I can change the color of it as well. So if I want to change it to something like yellow, you can see now subtle bias days actually yellow frame around the table. I can actually change the point of that to make it thicker. But I'm going to leave it with 0, 500, 25. Actually, I'm going to go back to my lack. It just closed the polar bear. So outline table name. I can click on that if I want to align that they will name each other never the moment. So because we aren't ticked out down here also, I have option to change the grid lines look. And if I want to have alternative rows, I can do that as well. Otherwise, I can click on the tick box to one ticket to go back to the plane grade by quite like the alternating row colors. So I'm going to leave it like this. And I can even change the color from here to a different colors if I wanted to. And then down below I've got the row and column sizes. Well, I can also change accordingly. And I've got also the last option down below, which is a resize rows, two feet cell content is going to be very useful if you have to type some description, so some text There's will resize the rows accordingly. Let's leave it ticked for now and let's go to sell at the top. In cells have got an option to change the cells formats and say if I deal with a dollar or currency in general, I might want to change that data format in specific cell so I can do it. Yeah, I'm gonna shoot these later on in the other videos. Then I've got the option to change the fill of my cells by going to feel. And I can click on this triangle down to reveal the color. I can change the color of myself. And I can also go to the pilot. And I can change all of the borders as well within the within the table. Then I've got taxed and these will affect the texts within the table, very similar to the one we saw before. We'd word processing mode, and then I've got a range and this allows me to arrange the table within my page in my document so we have other shapes. If I have other images, if I have other graphics that have to deal with, I can do it in a range. So let's have a look how it looks when we just click away from that. So it's just a plain table. In the next video, I'm gonna show you how to add data into it. And also I'm going to show you other ways to make it look great and add some formulas as well. 77. Changing Rows and columns size: Now let's start to type some data into our table and resize rows and columns accordingly. So we working on a document, thoughts of Marcus Aurelius. Oh, 42 if you're following up. So I'm going to click inside the table and then I start to type here on top some descriptions. So I'm going to click on the first cell. Type service, revenue, costs. Press the Tab key to the next one. Profit. So after you've done that, you can press the Tab key to go to the next row. With a tab, we can actually go through different cell, cell by cell. And by the way, if you keep on pressing the tab when you arrive at the bottom there and you press Tab again, it's going to create a new row. You can also add new roles. They go into the little circle here down below, you click on that and you increase the number of rows by just doing that. Or decrease it with the down and up arrow. Or you can go to the column here on top. Do the same thing. If you want to make more columns, you can do that as well. Bear in mind once you typed your description, you want to decrease the number of columns. This case doesn't let me go any less than four because I already typed them in. Cool. So now I can just start to type some description. And again, I want to actually add some other roles don't belong. And I go down here and add another couple. I'll probably looks good. I'm going to add some other data down below type ceiling renovation. And if you press the return key is gonna go down to the same cell, so which we'd all wanna do. So I'm going to press backspace and press the Tab to go to the next one. And I'm going to go down below here. Just that breast up, just pressed up a few times. So as you can see, now, the cell expands when I have more texts into it, but we're going to fix that in a second next one. So these are my description. So if I want to resize this column, I can go just in between the letters here on topic and hover the cursor there. And what my cursor becomes a little two arrows. Now I can drag that. 78. Rearranging rows and columns: Now let's talk about how to rearrange our data within a table. So I'm working with a document thoughts of Marcus Aurelius. Oh, 43. If you following up and here, if I click on Cite the table and say I want to choose to have special material as a second row here after the ceiling renovation. So what I can do, I can actually go into here. I can click on the row just before the one I want to add, or just the one after is really up to you. And I can click on the little arrow next to it. And I can add actually a row above or below and say I want to add a row below that will create an external for me. And now I can go and select these row by just highlighting it. And I can just simply drag it and drop it into the new on top by still got these external. So I can actually go into the six here, select the little arrow next to it, and delete the row and a baby go. Now I rearrange these, roll this way now, but there is actually a quicker way to do that. So instead of creating a new row or column, I can actually click on the number next to the row when I move. And I can click and hold and rearrange that row, whatever I want is if I do that now and I drop it, let's say between 56 is going to shift everything else accordingly. So without me adding any row, I can drag it on top. And you see these little blue line just behind the row that I'm dragging. And now if I drop it, that is going to drop it exactly where I want. The same thing I can do with columns as well. So I'm going to have to move every column. But if I wanted to, I can simply hold down column. I want to move from the top and the letter. And now I can just move it around by using that line, that blue line you can see behind and they fall, want to drop it, that I can do that as well. This case here, I want to just go backward. I was. So Daddy's the way to move around your rows and columns out to add new ones. And I'll to shift the audit of your data. 79. Formating data: Okay, I'll table started to look much, much better now. So we're gonna do some more adjustment now. First of all, we want to probably centralize these titles on top. So what we're gonna do, we're gonna click on the header row here at the top by clicking on the number. And we're going to go into our tax inspector to make sure you're in other formats tax. And we're gonna go down into alignment to make this centralized looks much better. And I also want to have some formatting done. So for instance, these numbers here are actually in euros. The highlight them insights. If I go here and I highlight them, I can actually change the format only on this. If I know that this is the final table by if I'm thinking to add more data down below here in the future, I might want to actually format the entire column. And instead of a highlight in the range, I can actually highlight columns on top and say from column B to C for instance. And that's what I'm gonna do now even though this is a final table. So I can go now to my inspector and the format cell. And here I've got an option to change the data format. The moment is on the automatic. I'm going to click on it. And you have got a bunch of options including currency. So if I click on currency here and switches automatically to the currency of your country, I'm going to change here €2. Now we go and also either need a decimal number at the end. Of course too many zeros here. So I'm going to just remove that decimal number and it looks much better. And perhaps I want to have the Euros separate from the rest of the numbers by going to Accounting style, I'm going to tick that box. And now my Euro sign is actually separated from the rest of the numbers. And I can also make these stable stand out by just highlighting the table. So I'm going to click away from that when I click inside again. And to highlight the table, you can actually click on this little circle in the top left-hand corner to highlight it, but it was already highlighted. You actually see the little dots here around the table. And now I can go to the Inspector and the format table. And down below here, I've got an option to change the table outline, which I showed you in the previous videos. I'm gonna go here and I've got an option to have a straight line, a dotted line, and on a lever as straight. I'm going to change the color to a green collar because I've got the header as green, quite like the green. So I'm going to click on that. You'll notice a subtle line around the table, which is barely noticeable. Bike actually go here. And so by being a quarter of inch of thickness, I'm gonna go here and bump it up a little bit to make it slightly thicker. So it's nice and naught symbol, I'm going to just click away. The CEO looks, looks great, perfect. And other thing I can do if I click on sided table, I can change the alternating the royal color. If I wanted to touch on, I remove it. I can do that by, it's actually better having that n. And I can change the color there perhaps to a faded green, perhaps still bright. I'm going to just go back here and perhaps go back to the dark gray over that light gray actually work very well. And I think it looks great so far the only thing I need to change is this row here looks like it's got Project going to the next line. So I'm going to just move it slightly to fit it. And I can also resize these two columns by highlighting minute from the top, dragging the middle. There. Resize one or the Watson and go to the Inspector down below here and go to width and change that as well. Perhaps I'm going to remove it. Perhaps I'm going to make it slightly narrower. That looks better. And in the next video, I'm gonna show you how to do some calculations and add some formulas. 80. Adding calculations: Now our table looks great. The only thing we need to do now is some calculations here as well. So we're going to add some formulas at the moment. We have the service description, we also have the revenue, the cost, but we don't have the perfect. We basically need to subtract the revenue with the costs and we're going to get the profit here. So in order to do that, you can click inside the cell. And there are a bunch of ways I can do that. I can press the equal sign it my keyboard to reveal the formula editor. And soon as I do that, on the right-hand side of my inspector, I can see the functions here. So I can actually go here and insert a formula. Now if I click away from that at the other way to do it is by going to Insert and go down to formula. And I've got a few sum, average, minimum, maximum count product and a completely new formula. So I can go to some if I wanted to, and then it will automatically sum the cells that have got available here, which I don't wanna do it at this time. So I'm going to just do Command Z to go back into the Insert, go to Formula. And perhaps I want to do a minimum or an average, but I don't have the minus subtractions here, so I will have to do it manually. In this case here, I'm gonna go back into myself, make sure you select the cell press equals. And then I'm going to just select the cells where I want the formula to be, not the actual number. Because I want to make sure that whatever number I put that, the formula will calculate the subtraction. So I'm going to click on revenue, that revenue cell, which is my b two. So I'm going to click on that. And as you can see now I've got B2 here. I'm going to press the minus, which is the dash in your keyboard. And then I'm going to click on the cell C2 by clicking on it. And now I've got C2 there. Now if I click on the green little icon next to it to confirm it is going to come up with the result here. Now if I hover the cursor over that cell, you'll notice I've got these little yellow dots around it. When I go down the bottom or on the right, on the left you'll see this yellow. That means that you can actually drag that yellow dots down. And what it does, it will copy that formula over the rest of my table. So if I click on the second one down below, you'll notice got the revenue and the cost highlighted. So if I double-click there, is going to show me exactly the same formula, but with different cells, in this case b3 minus c3. And if I go down here, if I click away from that and click an X1, double-click before minus S4 and so forth. So I'm going to just click away to remove the formula. So this is the quickest way to create formula, just apply to one and then you can drag down the yellow dots to repeat that formula around. Another thing I can do here, I can use conditional highlighting, which allows me to actually make the number standout if negative or positive. So I can go to cell here on my inspector on the format. And I've got some conditional highlighting down below here. So let's say I'm going to change the parameters here. Say for instance, for architectural structure project, I've got 230 thousand Euros and I've got as a cost more 300000. So this is a kind of a minus number. So what I can do, I can click on that and I can use conditional highlighting. So I can click on that. And now I can add a new rule at the top and then click on Add a rule. And now I've got a bunch of different functions and filters that I can use. For instance, if the cell is less than 0, then I will probably make that cell red. So in this case here though, before I even add the rule, I need to highlight the entire column. It's not just applying to that cell that I just highlighted. Sometimes we made a mistake, we just highlight the cell and then we apply that rule only of that cell, which is wrong. So we're going to click on the column D, and we're going to use conditional highlighting now that will apply to the entire column. So I'm going to click on that and go into add a rule. And now I'm going to say, if the number is less than, I'm going to type 0, I can make the cell all red or I can click on it and I can make it perhaps the Tx rat. So I'm going to click on that, and now that x is in red. And also I can add another, another rule if I wanted to, I can go to Edit Rule again. And if the number is greater than 0, it will be green. But if I do that now, everything else will be green, which doesn't make too much sense. So in this case here, I will change that to something a bit greater than 0. Perhaps I want to make it greater than, in this case, a hundred thousand, a hundred thousand. And now I click on the green. Now, only the ones that are under 1000 are green and gentleness, three of them, Let's make a little bit more special than under than 80 thousand. And I click on the tax and C, I want to have a yellow, a green text. Now only one come up in green and only one come up in red. So this is the way you can get conditional formatting. Again, you have more rules here when you click on Add Rule. Other we would for dates, for taxes, for durations, etc. So explore this and make your table look great by using these rules. Once you finish that, you just press done and you are finished using the conditional formatting bag. And you can go back into your highlighting rules and change them accordingly to your needs. 81. Adding a chart: Very useful to represent certain data into a document. But what about adding a visual representation of this data and then can be achieved using charts. So we're using the documents, thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 46, if you following up. And at the top here I've got an option to add my charts. I've got also an option to do it from the menu bar if you prefer it. So you can go to Insert and go to Charts and a goal, lots of different charts. I've got 2D charts, 3D charts, and interactive as well. But I'm quite a visual person. If you are like me, you probably prefer to use the toolbar. So I'm going to click away from that. I'm going to click on the chart here on top. And I've got here a few charts in 2D at the top, I've got 3D as well. And I've got also interactive. So interacting allows me to actually choose different stages of the chart. I'm, I'm, I wanted to represent a range of years of data and I want to actually change it live. I can use interactive. I'm going to go back to 2D now. And as you notice, I've got a few designs here. If I click on the arrow next to it is going to show me different color combinations that I can choose from. And for keep on pressing that is going to go back into my normal 2D coloring here. And I also have these beautiful pie charts, donut charts now. So if I want to represent, for instance, to set the values, perhaps I want to represent the services and the revenue. Um, I want to use a pie charts or a donut charts. Or if I have more than two values, perhaps I want to represent the entire table here. Perhaps I want to have services, revenue, costs, and profit. I might want to use something like a bar or multiple bars, vertical or horizontal is really up to you, where you can go to 3D. And again, you have similar representations here as well. So I'm going to be using the pie charts at the moment. So I'm going to choose the 3D pie charts. So when I click on it, it's going to bring me the pie charts here in the middle of the screen. So if I drag it down, I can move it down here. And now I can even resize it as well. So I can just use the dots to resize the pie charts. And as you can see, I've got the legends on top. April, May, June, July. This is something that is being created automatically. So I can move on to the charts by moving this little symbol here at the center of the charts, I can hold that down to change the angle of the charts, just literally moving my mouse around. And I can also centralize the charts by just moving it around until I see the guidelines. Tells me that is just the right of the page in the middle. And again, I can also move the table to make a slightly centralized as well, just to align it with the rest of my document. Brilliant. Okay. I probably need to move that text to make it also centralized. I can actually move the margins to make it just in line with my table. Perfect. Okay, so now I'm ready to just go and explore this pie charts. At the moment. My inspector here on the format God bunch of new tabs. The first one is chart, and the secondary is wedges. So the first one Charts allows me of course, to change the style of my charts on top of got some chart styles. I can also add some title. The same thing we did with table we can do with charts are for click on title, is going to show me the title right on top here. And if I want to get rid of the legend, I can do that as well by quite like the legend. So I'm going to leave it out. And charts font can be changed as well. Now I can change a different style of font and also the size and the charge Kahlo here and click on the chart color I can choose a different combination. So I can just hover the cursor over these colors are awesome. Colors here I've got these errors, just navigated different color combination. So I can really have a lot of choice here. And I can also go to images as well. So this will use colors from images to make my chart that looks a little bit more interesting and I can go through some of them as well, CA3 from pages here. And I've got textures as well. I want to use like word, marble or any other, or any other material. I can go here and choose those instead. So I'm going to stick with color for now and I'm going to just use the standard one. I'm just going to click away for now and leave it as it is. And down below here I've got also the option to change the 3D scene by clicking on the triangle next to it. I can change the charge that make it thicker if I wanted to. I can also change the lighting style at the moment is medium, you can make it darker or brighter. You have the option to show the bevels as well. If I click on that, it's going to show a nice edge. And between the values, which is quite cool and the rotation as well, I can rotate my chart using the rotation tool. And if I change my mind, I want to change the charts to something else I can go to. From 3D pie, perhaps I want to do a 2D pie. I can do that as well. Or 2D doughnuts, I can do that as well. So it's really up to you how you want to use it. I'm going to just stick with 3D pie for now. And we're going to click away just to see how it looks. I've got some values here in percentage, but we're going to change all of this later on for click on the chart. Again. I can actually go to wedges at the top here are my inspector. And then I can change also the value here by ticking and ticking it. If I want to just have the pie charts without anything in it, I can just tick that box data point names. Of course, it's going to also show the description of those values, which is going to make the charts quite crowded. So I'm going to just untick that for now. I can go also to value data format. If I click on that little triangle, I can change that from percentage to fraction to scientific two numbers is really up to you how you want to look. I can also go to numbers and it looks like this. So I'm going to just stick with percentage for now and I'll leave it as it is. And down below here also have an option to change the label distance. So I can actually move that slider to change the distance of the label. I can also have percentage. Actually, I'm going to use this table on top to represent these data on the pie chart. So instead of percentage actually going to use currency, and I'm going to also remove the decimals because we're gonna be dealing with thousands of euros. So I'm going to remove that. And in the next video I'm going to show you how to add some chart data as well. 82. Enter chart data: Now's the time to add some data into our charts. So we're going to click on the charts first of all. And we're going to click on Edit charts data down below here. Now as you notice, this giant deeds are already come up with some sort of a fictitious numbers. Every time you add a charts into your document, I always come up with some random numbers just to show you how the chart is going to look like. And we're going to change this now. So for instance, if I want to have this charter exactly as it is by just wanted to change the descriptions and the data. I could do that by just clicking on the cell where I want to change it. And perhaps I want to have, for instance, service is there and as soon as a tap on the top, it will change that legend as well as you notice, it will change automatically by, let's say we're not going to use these representational because at the moment, our charge represents the data in columns, but we have our data in rows. So to change the organization of the data, we would have to click on this little button here on the top right-hand corner of the chart data window. So the first one is for rows and the second one is for columns. I'm going to click the plot in rows effect, and I'm going to also get rid of all this data we don't need by clicking on the cell and just press delete. So I can do the same thing for the rest by just clicking on them, highlighting them, and getting rid of them. Perfect. When I do that, everything disappeared and also the charts disappear as well by steel that as soon as I put some data in, it will reappear automatic, her breast the top. Now, the charts will reappear. I'm going to just put a random number for now. And I want to basically use the data that I've got in my table. And I want to paste them directly into the chart data window here. So in order to do that, we're going to click away from that chart data. And if I click again, the charts data disappear by still there. Soon as I just go back into charts data, I'm going to go into my table here. Now to highlight these range, these services and revenue column, instead of clicking on the letter on top, I'm going to click anywhere else but the selection within the table. And then I'm going to highlight these two ranges. I'm going to go all the way down from ceiling renovation, all the way down here at 220 thousand. So now it's highlighted. I'm going to do Command C. To copy it. I'm going to go back to my charts down below here, click on Edit charts data. And then I'm going to go to the first column here, the first row, first column, which is the one day selectable. And I'm going to do Command V or paste. And now my data is represented correctly here. So the only thing that I need to make sure is the ceiling renovation, which is doesn't come up there. So I would have to go here on my table, double-click on it, copy it, go back into my charts data, and I'm going to paste that there. It doesn't let me do. It means that one is our header. So I would have to shift everything down. So in this case here, I would have to probably type it down here. And I'm going to basically move that funded and 50. I'm going to just cut it there. And I'm going to paste it down here. So I can still move these around by dragging the color to reorganize that. Perfect. And now I can actually make these figures little bit better. So I'm going to just close the charts data for now. I'm going to go to my inspector here and I'm going to the wedges. I'm already in the wedges here under the Format. Down below here, the label options that distance from the center can be changed. I've got some more numbers here, and of course, Show me the data in pounds. I'm going to change the currency from pound, €2. Now we go, and then we're going to go back to charts here on top and the my inspector here. And I'm going to also change the 3D scene. So the charts that perhaps can change little bit. I can also change the size of the font. I can make them slightly smaller perhaps. And I can also go back to wedges again and make perhaps that the stunts and a little bit further away. Perfect wedge position. I'm going to click on the triangle next to it. The distance from the center can be changed as well to want to make the lips slightly distance. I can do that. It's actually quite nice to have it that way. And I also can move the value a little bit better. Cool, I'm going to go back to charts on the top and perhaps I want to change the chart font. And so I've being helvetica new, actually going to leave it there, but I'm going to choose instead of regular, something a little bit more bold and say, let's try bold here. That's better. And again, I'm going to go back into wedges. I'm going to change the distance. So it's all about just refining the way your chart look. And I'm going to go back into match position again, going to make a slightly closer to each other or effect. And I'm going back to chart on top. Now my charts look great. I can actually change the rotation if I wanted to, to make it more frontal. And I can go back into chart color. Perhaps I want to change the color to a texture instead, so that can be changed as well. So if I change my mind, I want to go back to something a little bit more uniform. I think I'm going to choose something like, we're going to choose something like this. Let's try two colors again. Quite like this color. I'm going to stick with this color. See actually perfect. We can also change each individual where just by just clicking on them and then dragging perhaps an image instead of having color. This can be done by just go into your media on top, dragging an image from your desktop. For instance, if I go into my photo and let's say I want to add one of my photo instead, I can go here, drag it and drop it into that wedge and it will change. This is just another way for you to experiment with different kinds of colors and material. I'm going to just close that. I'm going to press commands at a couple of times and I want to have that. But just to show that that is possible, you can also click on each individual wedge. Again, you see when you see these three dots around the wedge, I can actually go here and just change that without affecting their AST. I can click on it and change the label distance. I can change that distance or that specific wedge as well. It can be customized the way you like. 83. Using more data in charts: Now in this video, I'm going to show you also how to represent your data from a table into charts, but not using a pie charts by using just a normal charts like a bar chart. So I'm going to just move these pie charts on aside. And by the way, I'm gonna just probably resize it to make slightly smaller and just make sure that kind of aligns with a table on top. And let's move this slightly down and move perhaps the legend a little bit up. Perfect. And by the way, if you want to move the legend separately, you would have to move the charts first and then click on the legend. When you see the text box around it, you can move it around separately. So that's the little trick. And now we're going to represent the revenue, the cost, and the profit as a chart. So we're going to highlight all of this together. I'm going to highlight from the inside. So I'm going to click inside of the table from the outside of my range. So let's say I want to click anywhere here. And I'm going to highlight from revenue all the way down to 97000, known good ground. Do that, highlight that. And then I'm going to copy, right-click, press Copy. And then I'm going to go into my charts on the top and I've got 3D charts. I'm going to go to 2D charts for now. And I'm going to choose bar data like say the first one on top. Click on that. I've got my charts here and it automatically added into another page break. So I'm going to just move this chart up. I want to have everything in one place. And I'm going to just resize that and using the dots. And perhaps I want to make this pie chart a little bit up and move this down here. If I want to paste this to my charts or introducing me go to Edit charts data. At the moment is charts showing me the data sorted in rows by I've got my data in columns. So I'm going to click the plot here button in the top right corner to change it. And I'm going to get rid of these value by highlighting it and still eating him. And then if I want to paste the data here, I'm gonna go to the very beginning here. When you see the blinking cursor, you're ready to paste your data. I'm going to just do Command V. And now my data is pasted there. And I've got now two columns. Actually wanted to have three columns. And the revenue, the cost and the profit in the first column here does not have any color. So I have to basically highlight this. And I'm going to cut it out. And I'm going to paste it here on the third column and do the same thing. Now I can actually change the position of that. If I want to have it at the beginning, I can do simply that. Perfect. And now I've got my untitled here, then I can actually rename. I can learn many of you can do DICOM revenue again. And I can go to the second tab and use costs. And the third one I can get my mouse if I wanted to and go to profits. Profit. And now my legend down below is automatically up to date. And now I can just click away from this chart. I can actually close it with a red button. And there we go. Now I've got my charts data can actually change the size of it. If I wanted to. I can make it slightly higher. And also if I want to change the way it looks, I can go to my inspector now and now I've got more options, actually got more tabs on top of make sure you are on the formats you have now, Chart axes as well, because there'll be dealing with x and y-axis and also have serious as well. So on the charts I can choose a different color. Let's say I'm going to choose the color here. So I've got some shade of green, or you can go to something like blue. Or I can go to the first one as well. So quite like this one down below, I'm going to stick with that. Again, I got the option to add a title if I wanted to, the legend. And also the border down below here can change again the same thing, chart fonts around the corners. Now, this is another feature of God in pages. Now gonna make the corners of my charts little bit less spiky, more rounded, quite nice as well. I can do that. And I will have the option to use the outside corner all instead of having the base around it, I can actually click on that. And then the base going to be nice and spiky. And I've got these value going here. Perfect. If I want to have now the descriptions, now I see I've got the legend, adopters revenue, costs and profit. And I'll go here on the left-hand side, the value. I can also change the gaps as well. If I go to gaps, I can choose how much percentage of kappa want to have between the bars and do that as well, between Sirius perhaps I want to have the CEO is separate. So I could do that. I've got three different kinds of values that are separated between each other, the background and border. This is another thing I can change. If I want to have a background, I can actually have a color fail. And perhaps I want to have a different color fill. You could do that from here, or you can have an image fail a gradient field, et cetera. Now, leave it for now without background that just to make it too complicated. Again, shadows as well. And of course, if I wanna change that 2D column to ever 3D column, I can go here. I can go to the 3D column, and that will change it to a 3D view. So that can be done also later on. And I can change, of course, the position of my legend by dragging this dots as well. I cannot make it slightly smaller, perhaps sorted in column. I can have them on the side here. It's really up to you how you want to have it. And the shadow now it looks like quite nice, but I'm going to click on shadow here. And I'm going to remove the shadow altogether by just pressing off. And then I'm going to go into the axis that on top here on my inspector, our value y and category X, I can change all of that. So I can have the axis name by taking this box. And now I've got the name here and here on the vertical and horizontal view. I can also get rid of it if I don't need it. And I can go into category why? And I cannot show you at the end the axis name here as well if I wanted to, or serious name. But that will make this quite crowded so they not actually fit the way I want. Oh, can go to great lines here. And perhaps you want to have a great lines in between the different stages that can be done as well. And I'll just make it none. Let's go into serious now. And the value label it says none. I can actually choose a different value here can be a number. And then you can actually see the number on the actual Charter, which looks very crowded. I'm going to just leave it as none for now. And the axis here on the category axis, I'm going to just get rid of serious name is just a too crowded than going and just leave it as it is. Like this is actually much, much better. Let's go back to value here and see if I can change something else. Show me my value. I could do that. Oh, if I wanted to minus a 125. Why can't you again get rid of it? By the moment my charts is actually showing a minus figure. So I wanted to have that as a reference. Okay, so let's go back to charts and see if you can do something else here. Charts death. I can actually change that to make it slightly thicker. I can also change the lighting as well style. I want to make a soft light, soft fail. So it's really up to you how you want that to be. Rectangles cylinder perhaps you want to have that instead. So that's the way to change your charts and copy and paste your data from a table. And of course you can change the chart type anywhere you want on the chart type to experiment more shapes as well. And by the way, you can copy and paste any other data, not just from a table like this in pages, but also from a numbers document or from an Excel document as well, and paste it into your charts here in pages. 84. Copy, Paste Pages and Sections: Now in pages we can copy and paste content from one document to another one. So for instance, page breaks or section breaks or anything that you have in the thumbnails here can be copy and paste into a different document. So I'm going to show you how to do this in this video. I've just opened up the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 50, if you following up. And as you can see, I've got my table of contents and also I have my cover page as well. Let's say I want to copy this cover page into a new document or into a similar document like this. So it's gonna go into my exercise files, into modules. And I'm going to open thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 49. So I'm gonna double-click on that to open it up. And I've got my document without the cover. So I can actually go into this thumbnail here. Make sure you say later then you can right-click and copy it and go back to the other one. And I can right-click and paste it exactly where the other thumbnail is, and it will add a new page so you can actually get rid of the first one. And you can just replace it with the one you have now, which is our cover. So you can do the same thing for page breaks and section breaks by simply highlighting them. You can just copy them and paste them automatically into the new document. 85. Export as PDF: So let's talk about how to export this document as a PDF. So PDF stands for portable document format and allows you to share these documents to whomever you want. Doesn't matter what platform they have, whether they have Mac or PC or any other devices, they'll be able to open this document. So I'm going to go to File near the top. And by the way, I'm using the file thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 50, if you following up. And on the export two you'll find all the different formats that we can export this document as. The first one is our PDF. You're going to click on that. And now I've got the option here on top says export your document of God, all my six different ways to export document. The first one is PDF and it, and it gives me an option down below to change the image quality. So if you have a document like this one full of images and graphics, you might want to change the image quality perhaps from best to better to good. So best is the maximum quality you're going to export. Good is the lower quality and better is kind of a middle range quality. So in this case here I'm going to share this with someone else using e-mail so I can actually use either best or better or good. It depends how many pages you have as well. So I'm going to click on best. And I also have an option to require the password. So if I click on that little tick box is going to prompt me with a password and password hint as well, so I can protect that document to all those people who have the password. So I'm going to just untick that for now and press Next. And now I'm going to export it into my desktop so it's easy to find. I'm going to leave it as it is and click on Export. Now I'm going to minimize this by clicking on the yellow box on the top left hand corner. And I go to my desktop and now I've got my PDF here. I'm going to double-click on that to open that up in preview. And again, if they have a Windows computer or any other machine there might open it with Adobe Reader. As you can see my document, It's been exported as a PDF. I can go to each individual page and they are exactly the same as my pages. And again, all these hyperlinks that we added before, if I click on that, it will work of course. And if I click on the Table of Contents here and any of these pages, it will jump to the right page as well. So these table of content and all the hyperlinks will be available. So that's the way to export as a PDF. That's one of the probably easiest way to export. And in the next video, I'm gonna show you other ways to export and share your documents with others. 86. Printing your document: One of the ways to share your content with someone else is by also printing it. So if I go into File here and I go to print down below here, you can also use the shortcut Command P is going to come up with this dialog box. And my looks different than yours, but as you can see on top, I've got my printer. You might have a different printer. And if you want to have more options, you can click on show details down below. When you do that, you'll notice I've got here my printer model on top, the number of copies you want to print. And perhaps you want to copy only certain range of copies. So I can go to from here and I can choose, for instance, to copy from page number two all the way to page number seven or eight. So I can do that by just doing that. Number 2, perhaps all the way to page number 5. And that will only print these ranges, excluding the cover perhaps so you can save some ink and you can also change the layout here. If you have another printer, you might have an option to print black and white. But upset my appear here in this window. These printer I've got is only monochromatic, so you only have black and white by if you have color printers, you also have an option to print it in black and white. You have also this pop-up menu here. When you click on it, is going to give you different options according to the printer you have. You can go to something like paper handling and perhaps you want to collate pages at the moment is ticked. So what that does is if you create 34 or multiple copies of the same document, rather than printing the same page is a page to five times, for instance, or page 35 times in a row. It will collate them for you. So I will copy the first lot from page 1 to page five, for instance, in the second law, again from page 1 to page 5, et cetera, et cetera. It will collate them for you and it will save you a lot of time. Otherwise, you can just uncheck that box and do it the other way. Again, I'm gonna go back to All and I'm going to leave it as is. And I can also change the scale here to fit paper size. And again, these might change according to your printer. The other options are here on the print at the bottom left-hand corner. You'll notice I've got PDF. So when I click on it, I also have an option to save this document as a PDF from here. Even though I showed you in the other video out to export the document from the menu on the File Export. You can also export it as a PDF directly from there, but you can do it also on these little pop-up menu as well. You can send them by email if you wanted to, as a PDF, by messages by iCloud and by other means. So I'm going to leave it as is for now, I'm going to click on cancel. But this is the easiest way to show you a document by using the printing function. 87. Exporting as Word: It will come a time when you have to share your document with someone with a Windows computer who has perhaps Microsoft Word, and you need to probably collaborate with that person as well. So in order for them to edit your document, you wanted to export a document as a Word document. Now we can export this by going to File and go into export to as a word. You can also send this document directly by e-mail, by going to share. And you see the share function here on the menu bar. And I can go to send a copy via e-mail. I can do that as well. So if I click on that, it will prompt me again. We'd all the formats that I can convert my document as in this case, I can choose word. And that will also give me an option to require a password. If I want to encrypt it with the password, I could do that as well. And I also have another additional advanced options here. If I click on the little triangle next to it, is going to give me the ability to format this document either as a Doc X, which is one of the latest Word format. Otherwise an old format which is from 19972004. I can also do that as well. I'm going to stick with Doc X for now, and I'm going to click on Next. If I do that now is going to compose a new email, is going to attach that document, is going to attach the Word document automatically into my e-mail and click on Okay here because it's just saying all the changes within the document looks like the image gallery where remove it because it's not compatible with word. But for the rest, everything is the same so I can press OK. And now that document is going to be attached into an e-mail. So let's have a look. If it comes up, my e-mail pops up. Now. I've got my email address there, and now the document will come up here as a folder. Perfect. So I'm going to close this for now, not going to send it via email and just wanted to show you the way you could do it by using e-mail. But I can also go to file, go to export to. And so let's say I want to save this Word document into my desktop for now, I can go to export to Word document again, same options as before. And again, the advanced options also appears. I'm going to leave it as it is and press Next. And I'm going to save it into my desktop for now. We'll leave it also with the same name, press export. And now I'm going to minimize this. The, again, the same warning that the image gallery is not compatible with word. That's fair enough. That's fine. Just press Okay. I'm going to minimize this document. And now I've got my other folder with the document inside of our double-click on that. And now I've got the media that are part of my document because I've got some videos and audio in that. And also I have got my Word document as well. So now I can double-click on that. And I happened to have Microsoft Word in this computer just to show you the difference between the two. So if I double-click on that, is going to open in Microsoft Word. If I go in down here, I see what opening up. And let's give it a moment to open and our word opens up here. And I'm going to just make this window slightly bigger. Just to show you how the document looks like. I can scroll down for the pages. And again, my table of contents is also working with the hyperlinks. My audio as well has been imported and everything else looks pretty much the same, of course, of course some changes here with the wrapping feature that I'll probably have to spend some times in word adjusting by everything else is there, the video is there as well. And the table. And I need to probably do some adjustment here in the in the tables and the charts. Everything else looks very similar. I would have to probably adjust it slightly. So this is the difference between word and pages. Of course, if you deal only with tax and some images, you're not going to have a lot of issues by fuel deal with text wrapping. You might have some sort of situations where, for instance, the shape comes above the actual title and you would have to go and move it around, kinda readjusted inward. So these are the sort of things you might need to spend some times inward if you need to deal with Microsoft Word and in pages at the same time, I actually done a pretty good job in Word. So this is the quickest way for you to share a document to Microsoft Word users. 88. Exporting as ePub: Another way to share your document is by using the ePub format that can work on iPads and tablets. So if I go into File here on top, I can go to export to and I can use ePub. So when I click on it, it's going to give me a bunch of options on top, and including the title, the author, and also an option to change the color. I can also change the color to be not book cover or use the first page is a book cover or choose an image, view this I2, you can click on that and you have the option to choose whatever image you want from your computer on our breast cancer for now. It can be, you're a flowable or fixed layout. So you can click on each of these options and it will tell you the description down below. For instance, a flowable one continent will reflow to accommodate different devices and orientations best for documents primarily containing text. In this case here, contains the x by a hold, so have some images and videos. So it might not be a good choice bag and go to fix layout. And this is probably the right choice for this kind of documents with columns, with images and videos and audio as well. So I will probably choose Fixed Layout under Advanced Options. If you have that close, you can just click on the little triangle to open it up. You can choose the category. You can also choose the language and also the view as a single page or two pages, you decide how you want to view it. Use a table content and embed fonts as well. So you don't have issues in viewing the document differently with different kind of funds. So after you're done there, you can just press Next and now you can export it to your desktop as an ePub and ANCA be email. It can be shared with anyone else as well. 89. Offer your book to download or Purchase: In Pages now we have the ability to share our documents in Apple Books directly from pages. So what we can offer the books for free or we can also make it as a purchasable. This can be achieved by going to File and going directly to publish to Apple books. So if I click on that, it's going to ask us now to put our document into the Cloud. So I'm going to click on move to Cloud. And now we can click on Continue. And now it gives us an option to choose either our actual apple ID or a different one. I'm going to use mine and I'll click on Use my Apple ID and YouTube and iTunes Connect account. And that will let you then publish your document into Apple books. I'm not gonna go any further than this because it's going to take awhile. And of course now it's going to ask me to set up my iTunes Connect account, which I haven't set up. So what you need to do here is simply just click on this and follow the instructions to open your iTunes Connect. Then you'll be able to publish your documents for free or for selling it to the public. 90. Reducing size of documents: When we share a document with large images and movies and other multimedia files into it, you may end up having a very large files such as this one here. Our thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 50 is actually under than 10 megabytes. A big file to send via email or to send to someone else easily. So one of the ways to reduce the file size within pages. So I'm going to double-click on this to open it up. And once he's open, he and pages again go to File. And we have an option now to reduce file size. So if I click on that, now it's gonna give us a few different options within the reduced file size that allows us to reduce the file from current, which is under the 9.9. So to estimate size of under them, 5.2 is not a lot because there is a video actually included in this document. So down below here, I've gotten the general scaled down large images. Yes, I would like to do that. So you have an option that the other one is to remove trimmed part of a movie and old GO. So I've got a movie here which is around two minutes. So I could trim that to make it shorter. And then here it will remove the parts that are not playing. And down below here, the movie farmer can be also changed. Most compatible is H.264, or I can preserve the original and I can also change them movie quality from 1080 to something smaller. Perhaps I can go to draft quality. So if I do that, look what happened now from under the 9.9 becomes 50 megabyte, much, much better. So I can actually reduce a copy by keeping the original as, as it is and have a copy or reduce the file itself into a smaller version. In this case here I'm going to reduce a copy. So you'll see the differences are gonna do that. And it's going to now ask me where to save and when I save it in the desktop and click on Save. And now is go into convert my movie into a smaller draft and can be easily shared by email or any other means. Now I'm going to minimize this window. I go into here and now the document is in my desktop or I do command. I just to check the size now is 13.7 much better than having 810 megabyte file. So this will reduce the size of your document, retaining the quality within pages. 91. Collaborating with Track changes: If we want to collaborate, we know the person or with a team of people, tracking the changes of your document will be very useful. So you know exactly who did the editing and certain pages or in certain section of your document by using track changes. So before you even share your document and make sure you enable track changes, this can be done by going to the menu on top on the Edit. And you have an option to enable track changes. When you do that, you'll see a bar on top here with comments and changes to add a comment to highlights, for instance. And you also have an option here are the top right hand corner to accept or to reject the changes. And you also have this switch to turn tracking on or post, and also the gear icon near and allows me to mark up, markup without deletion, final, et cetera, can also accept all the changes, reject all the changes, and change the color as well. I'm going to, I'm going to choose one of these colors. Let's say I'm going to choose the color green for myself. So if I send it to someone else, they can choose their own color as well. So I know exactly who did what. So let's say I want to go to one of these pages here. By the way, I'm using the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 50, which is the final document we have here. If you following up and let's say I want to highlight something. Yes, I want to highlight this section here. This little quote. I mean, just do a from that all the way down. And I want to make some changes. I can go to the top here and tap on comment. When I do that, the comment will come up in grain because that's the color I chosen. And then I can type something like, for instance, what do you think about this quote? Would you change it to a different style? And I can click on Done after I finished. And as you notice now I've got a little square here next to that legal annotation so people can reply to her any X2 notice, I've got a reply icon here. I can delete that as well. So if I click away and they receive this document on the other side, all they need to do simply hover the cursor over that and then the comment will appear automatically, very handy. And they can also reply that. So if they have a different color or different name, I can actually see all the amendments as well. Once I receive that back, for instance, if I want to get rid of something. So if they receive this document and they want to highlight something and say I want to highlight that, want to highlight, for instance, the first sentence here. And they want to delete that sentence, can press backspace. So if you do that, you'll notice now I've got the strikethrough along that phrase. And I can see that into my document as well. If you don't see that and you see the phrase gone, you still see the little symbol, a little bar on the side. But you're not going to see the sentence. And that happened when you go into the gear at the top right-hand corner and choose markup without deletion that we just hide the sentences that we just deleted from there. But I will keep that little bar to indicate that something it has been done. So if I want to see all the changes, I can go to mark up and that will show me everything. So I can go here on top. I can also use final to see our looks that will show me the document with all the changes are accepted in this case, I'm going to go to markup so I can see exactly what happened from my document. And again, if I share it with someone else, I can actually see that color label with all the changes as well. So if you want to make some amendments before we use and the back, without tracking the changes, you just go to Track Changes here and the switch, you pose it, you do your changes and that one be recorded as a change, as Amendment within your track changes. So I'm going to go back into that and I can leave it on now. So this is the way to use track changes between one person or a team of people and make sure of course, you have the right column label and the right name in a so people can just go there, can just reply, and you can keep the conversation going within a document in Pages. 92. Improve Pages Performance: We might perhaps end up having a very big document with lots of different pages and lots of images, lots of 0's, lots of media in general, you end up having perhaps a file that is more than a 100 megabyte, perhaps is 500 or more. And that can actually affect the performance pages dealing with loading pages, for instance, it might take longer than usual. So if that happened, one of the advantage now in pages is to convert the file into a package file. I'll show you what it means in a second. So if I go into File here on top, I've got an option under advanced to change the file type from single file to package. So at the moment is under single file. So what that means is if I go back into my exercise files, my thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 51, the one we're in now is actually a single file, which it is, and he's under than 10 megabyte, not too big. So I'm, shouldn't be concerned about converting this as a package because it's still quite small. But if it reaches 50, 100 or more, and it started to get slower to load up and to scroll through the pages and it becoming the pain, essentially, working on the document, I will probably converted as a package. Now if I right-click on this to see the package, usually you see the package files when you right-click on a file. In this case here, if I right-click, I didn't see any package file here should appear usually after open width. But there's nothing that if I go back to my pages now, and I'll go back to file under Advanced change file type, I'm going to choose package. So when I do that and I minimize my pages, I'm going to go back to my exercise files. I see my thoughts on mycorrhizal use 51 over that. So it's still under than 10 megabyte As and change the size by if I right-click now, look what happened. Now I've got an option to see a package content. So if I click on that, now I see the subfolders within that file. And one of them is data. So I've got all of my media in one place. I've got all my audio, I've got all my images, or here, I've got all my movie clips as well. It's part of that. So everything is managed in one single folder, so pages will perform better when I've got these files in this manner. Now bear in mind if you need to share this with someone else. Perhaps you want to share your document with a designer and perhaps you want them to redesign your document. You might want to send this as a package. And if you do that, they can access to all of your images in a folder like this, which could be quite useful for them and quite handy. But on the other hand, when you start share files, especially using iCloud Drive, where the package, you might have more chance to corrupt the file when you start to send them back and forth to weed designers or with other people going in an ideal world, you want to send the file as a single file. So I would probably go back into pages. I would go back to File advance and I will change it back to single file if I need to share it with someone else. Bear in mind if your work on an e-book and interactive book or with the book where there's a lot of images and videos and audios, you might want to consider to use package file, and that will help pages to perform much better on your document. 93. Collaboration: One of the easiest way to collaborate with other people, with your work team or with anyone else within your project is by using the Collaborate feature that comes with pages. As you notice, I've got the Collaborate button here at the top of my toolbar, and I'm using the fire thoughts of Marcus Aurelius or 51 if you following up. So if I click on Collaborate now, it's going to ask me to move the file into the cloud, and that's what I'm gonna do now. I'm going to fast-forward this video anyway, it's going to take awhile to do that. And only middle of my screen I've got an option to add people. So choose how would you like to send your invitation? I can send it by e-mail. By messages. I can also copy the link and send it by e-mail. And I've got an option to add e-mails down below here. I can also use AirDrop if I've got people in proximity, nearby and I want to share the document directory using AirDrop OK, and do that. So let's say I want to send it by e-mail. And I've got also down below the sharing options, so only people you invite can make changes. There will be one of the option if I click on the triangle next to the share options, I also have the ability to choose who can access to it. So only people you invite. If I click on that, anyone with the link, perhaps you want to share with someone who has someone else's contact the Yulen have unnecessarily. So you, perhaps you want to make that link universal and openable from anywhere. And the permission can make changes that people will receive it, can actually amend it or can view only. So you could do that as well. So after you do that, you just press Share and then the document will be shared. If I do that now is going to open my email. And now I can just type the email address of the person and send it via email. So let's choose Copy link. I'm going to choose any MAC address and then I just put my email address. And this case I'm going to put him for. So I'm going to just press Share. And now that person will receive an invitation. And on top here says starting collaboration. So I'm going to fast-forward the video because it was gonna take a little bit to upload into the Cloud. And as you notice now that I'm collaborating with that person, might collaborate button is in green. So I can click on it and I can see all the people that I'm sharing the document with. And I can also add more people. I can change the sharing options if I wanted to, directly from here, I can click on the triangle there, and I can choose a different way to access that document. Perhaps I want to make the link universal so I actually click on anyone with a link. I'll be able to open the file or change the permission. I may want to have view only. So that is up to you or you can click on the person I'm sharing a weird click on the little three dot icon next to it and choose. Send an invitation again if they miss that email or if I want to change individual permissions, I can do that directly from me as well. If I want that person to only view my document rather than amending it, I can do that from here. I can also remove the access if I wanted to, if I sharing them with multiple people that say ten people or more, instead of going to each individual person, I can actually go down here and just say stop sharing. And that will stop the sharing completely. And then may collaborate button will turn off. And again, r will be the only one who deal with that document. So this is the easiest way to collaborate by using these amazing feature in pages. 94. Wrapping up and What's Next?: Well congratulations, you've reached the end of this training course on pages. You should now be feeling more comfortable with the many features and functions of pages that help you to create visually stunning and creative documents. Pages, as you might know, is part of the iWork suite, which also comprises of keynote for creating presentations and numbers are creating spreadsheets. Have a look at the other major media courses available in this platform and on our website as well. I'm saying thanks for watching and hope to see you soon. Have a meaningful day and bye for now.
