Wow! I have been using word processors for years and Pages for the last couple of years. Your presentation is and total game changer, not just about software tricks but a philosophy of how to utilize the software for better writing. Thank you!!

This fellow is amazing. I have used Pages 365 days a year for more than 10 years and I never knew half of this stuff !

Any time I hear someone say "I don't use Pages, I use (other random app that cost them quite a bit of money)," I'm amazed, unless their work requires the other app. Pages is a fantastic writing tool, and comes with every Mac. I hate having to write in Word when I'm forced to after using Pages. And now, I know even more about things I'd never even thought about. Thanks again, Gary!

This actually gave such a nice and smooth time while writing my novel. Thank you so much.

The use of 'white space' in reports or emails (i.e. gaps between paragraphs or special sections in a document) is something that's always considered at work to improve the readability of a document,

I prefer black page with green text just like in the good old days. It's easiest on the eyes, and when on my laptop, uses less energy. I had never learned the advantages of Styles, but now I see I need to incorporate that into my writing. I'm writing my biography for grandkids. Thanks Gary.

Thanks so much. I’ve got a document to edit, so this is fortuitous timing! You’re always clear and make things easy to understand. Thanks:)

Again, love your channel and your tutorials.

A very useful and a very informative video tutorial today! As always thanks for the visuals! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻👍❤️

Pages is my favorite Apple app. Improvements have been constant and useful. Where I used to start in a plain text app or the infuriating Notes, I am increasingly using Pages from the start, saving tons of time. I especially like how it handles images but feel that part is crying out for a Styles paradigm as well. I find the default wrapping and spacing maddeningly cumbersome in my work creating technical manuals. Way too many steps currently to use a consistent look of image fitting to text. It would be really big for me to have 3-4 styles with the many settings done with a single click. Tables could use a little attention as well.

Styles and templates are really useful. I do a lot of public speaking and it’s great to be able to easily set a special format so that my notes are easily legible from the lectern without losing much eye contact and concentration with my audience. Once I set it up it’s a simple matter to select it before I print.

No, it doesn't. The thing to use is Styles. With Styles you can change all of the formats for all similar items (headings, captions, etc) all at once.

That kind of table of contents doesn't make sense for page layout since there is no body text for it to pull headings from. With page layout, you'd create your own, manually. You can use links in them if you want so a PDF would have a TOC that links to the right page.

Good one! I’m considering writing all my serious emails, as in long letters to friends, in Pages first, then pasting the result into Mail, because I keep losing content I’ve created in Mail sort of randomly. This is extremely disturbing and frustrating. I’ve searched on Apple forums for similar problems and complaints and possible solutions, but to no avail. Am I really the only person in the universe who experiences this? One of the symptoms is that my cursor gets moved from where I’m typing to the address line or subject line or some seemingly random location in my body text. Since I touch type, I often don’t notice this until I’ve typed a sentence or three and check to see if I’ve spelled everything right. Another symptom is that the letter I’m writing will disappear altogether. I’ve learned that I can usually find it as a draft, often with extra space added at the top, and all too often with sizable chunks missing, including photos I’ve included in the text. When this happens the formatting is often changed so that each sentence becomes one paragraph that stretches across the screen so that I have to scroll sideways to see it all, and a return is placed after each sentence, so the paragraphs that I have composed are lost. If you or anyone else who happens to read this has any ideas for causes or solutions, I’d be might grateful to learn how I might deal with this frustrating phenomenon.
