I converted from Windows to Mac 10 months ago. I have been struggling to work with Pages all this time. I just learned so much that will be helpful. Thank You!
This is wonderful. Have used Adobe InDesign for 40+ years, but am helping a friend who is using Pages and I knew nothing about it. Going through Apple instructions was useless to me, I have to see where things are. This was absolutely perfect. THANK YOU!
Apple actually has never made ‘instructions’ for its pro apps. Rather, app Help is well designed to answer specific questions as the user runs into the inevitable dead ends. At first, I also felt frustrated by that approach, but now that I’ve run into scores of those dead ends, I feel the solutions that Help offers are a better way to go. The only thing Apple could do better is to make those solutions contextual popups within one’s own document. That approach, in fact, would be welcome in all complex apps as the solution right there IN the challenge really sticks better in my mind.
This is enormously useful, thank you! I'm in the process of moving away from MS Office, and am learning more about Apple software each day. I'd appreciate seeing something similar for Apple Numbers. Thank you again.
Your clarity of explaining is just gorgeous! Also I wonder why I never knew about so many things my Mac can do. Who reads a manual these days? We watch videos...
Fantastic whistle-stop tour! Yes, Gary, when you say at the end that you have a ton of video tutorials to help us get the most out of Pages, that's absolutely right. And I'd also like to mention your fabulous Course on Pages-as a former Word user, I learnt a massive amount from that course, which was totally worth doing and is still a valuable resource that I come back to whenever I need a refresher on any aspect of the app.
Pages is one of Apple’s great accomplishments. The moment the penny dropped for me was when I realized how many jobs of mine could be accomplished not only best but also easiest, in Pages. I have written and published technical manuals, made notes for everything from shopping to coding, posted illustrated comments for Twitter and working tutorials for my staff, and made build plans for every conceivable job. For the most part, its complex tools are easy to access, making all these jobs a relative breeze. Bringing outside elements into a Pages document is one of its standout features, so easy you’ll feel like you’re missing something. There is room for improvement in the area of cataloguing custom images and I wouldn’t mind a bit of macros capability.
It is written it's like Keynote but in portrait whereas keynote is landscape. Also noticed Keynote is made for presentations, slides, but they seem very similar in functionality. I love the various figures and the ability to edit them. Super convenient feature.
I subscribe to a system for spreadsheets and word processing (guess which!)). But quite a while ago, I started using Pages regularly. The "other" will print envelopes, but it is so much easier with Pages (too bad I got a new Canon printer which refuses to print, for example, DL envelopes but that's not Pages' fault). It is much easier for me to use intuition with Pages than with the "other". Many thanks again.
When I read the subject line to this video I laughed and said to my wife, "Five minutes! Heck I’ve been using Pages for five years and I still can't figure most it out! But I watched it anyway because if anybody could explain Pages in five minutes my bet would be on Gary. Sure enough this brief video solved problems I've had with Pages ever since I began using it! I find myself wondering why Apple has been keeping all this secret for all these years? Maybe Tim Cook is a Microsoft Word user? Thanks Gary!
I'm so happy I found this video, Gary. I have been struggling to achieve in Google Office what you have demonstrated I can achieve in Pages in just a couple of clicks! Looking forward to watching the rest of your content. Liked and subscribed.
Now I understand what that 'update' button is for. It's much easier that what I have been doing all this time. A suggestion, perhaps you could show us how to letterhead template using Pages because this is one of the most difficult for Windows users when they switch to Pages.
Sorry, I don't know what could be wrong. Does it print if you remove the image? Try maybe compressing the image in Preview and using a smaller version then?
I did Keynote before: czcams.com/video/jUJNCun2ccg/video.html Not sure if I will do Numbers. It would have to be a "How to use Numbers for only one very specific thing" video as you can use Numbers for so much.
@@macmost It was before macOS Big Sur pretty much overhauled the entire visuals of the operating system. Besides, the quality of your videos has improved significantly since then.
@@macmost Early in the video you said there are two modes for using Pages. How do you select them. I do not use Pages as I have had a difficult time understanding how to use it (after years of using MS Office). I have defaulted to Libre Office. Do you have any other tutorials for Pages?
This is great. Do you have any other tutorials that go into more detail on using Pages? I don't know why my images get thrown around into strange places whenever I edit the text.
How can I change the margins inside a bordered paragraph in iPages. One side is too close to the edge and the paragraph is not centered inside the border
@@macmost Yes am in ICloud. Not by choice. I did find the stored file in the ICloud document folder and named it. It has an auto save feature. However my next project will be created using the app locally. I watch your tutorials and have learned a lot. Thank you.
Professor: I’m hoping you (or anyone) can answer this question about pages - and I swear you have addressed this somewhere before. When I paste text from another source into Pages, isn’t there a setting in Pages so that the text automatically conforms to the font style / size presently being used in the Pages document? Thanks in advance and thank you, as always, for this presentation.
In the doc, or on a printed page? For printing, just use a bullet character that is a box of some kind. For in the doc, Pages isn't meant for that. Use Notes or Reminders for that.
Fantastic video, but need some help/advice. If you are formatting a novel and want to have a zero indent on first paragraph and a .5 indent on following paragraphs - with a zero indent after a paragraph break, how do you do it without changing the whole lot when you update? I can't seem to get "body 1" and "body 2" to make that a think... I only seem to have "Body." Any help appreciated 😊
Do you mean that instead of being a regular character, it stretches vertically over more than one line? How to do it depends on the situation I would create a text box to hold the text. Then two other text boxes to hold large-sized curly brackets placed to the left or right.
My table won't continue on into the next page. For this document, I have no document body. Is this possible? Is there something in Arrange I'm missing? Love you videos, btw, I had no idea how useful Apple Pages or Apple Numbers were until I watched your content and they're now both staples. Thank you!
Right, the table must fit on one page. If you need a table to stretch across multiple pages you'll need to break it up into multiple tables. Or, just do it in Numbers instead of Pages.
Wow. This is a a Masterclass in presenting useful information brilliantly. Not a word wasted. Awesome.
Truly thought it would be completely too complicated for this old lady. Turns out I understand as long as I slow down the play speed 😂 thank you.

im 27 years old and this video taught me to use pages. Thanks for this!!
Thank you for explaining the basics it’s pretty straight forward and makes sense.
That was very helpful. I never knew the update button was so helpful.
Styles in Pages are brilliantly implemented. I’ve never been able to grasp how they work in Word.
This is enormously useful, thank you! I'm in the process of moving away from MS Office, and am learning more about Apple software each day. I'd appreciate seeing something similar for Apple Numbers. Thank you again.
Ok, the go to document creator has usually been Word, Libre, etc. This video has shown a lot that Pages can do. Thank you!
Damn Gary, I don't know how you do it. So much killer info in just 5 minutes. Thanks for this.
Your clarity of explaining is just gorgeous!
Also I wonder why I never knew about so many things my Mac can do. Who reads a manual these days? We watch videos...

I’ve used iPages for a while but this tutorial showed me several things that were so helpful. Thanks for your concise presentation
Nice and straightforward. Thanks for this, I think Pages is more advanced than Word…my opinion of course
This guy is great. He makes everything so clear.

Nicely explained. Thank you, Gary. How do I determine which is the most current version of the PAGES documents for editing content?
What's the situation? Why do you have two versions at all?
Thank you I love your quick tips on using Mac. Can you tell me why my file will not print with my image on the page?
