The thing I really like about your videos is the pace- really good timing that is not too fast or slow. Great stuff as always

Thanks for a terrific tutorial, Gary. I've never used Pages in this way, so maybe from now on, for simple tasks, I will. Take care, stay safe and keep producing great content.

Gary you never cease to amaze me. I love using my Mac because of you! Thanks for the video

It is a word processor and page layout app. It does A LOT. I have a whole course on it...

This one cracks me up because I've been making signs in WordPad on Windows for many years. Mine are never this elaborate and are more for items on sale at my shop and announcements of holiday hours, etc., but all in black and white because the printer is a laser. Interesting how much more useful it seems Pages is. Haven't converted my shop to Mac yet, but I plan to when it's time to replace the shop computer.

This was really helpful. I was making a form that needs to have four copies of the form per page, to take to the printer and cut into four after printing. One thing I needed on my form was a large (1.4 inch) square in the upper left corner. I learned the easy way to make this from this video. Unfortunately, when I clicked on Option and tried to drag the form to the other three spaces, the shape didn't go with it. I tried copying and pasting the shape into the form afterwards, but the formatting became completely weird, even though I had added the square after the text and lines on the original form. Eventually I found that if I copied the square and put it in place before I dragged the copy of the form into place, the amount of reformatting I had to do was minimal. I suspect there is a better way to do this. I need to watch more of these videos.

I tried using Pages as an alternate the TextEdit because of the iCloud syncing but it’s not really suited to what I want. I find I mostly use Pages in Layout mode to create just the kind of documents you show here, the kinds of things I used to create when I called PageMaker my favorite word processor. In Layout mode I can do most of the things I used to do in PageMaker. We used to always call “option-drag” “option copy” so it’s easier to remember what you’re actually doing.

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! I found it very interesting! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

Hey Gary, do you know of a way to add custom shapes that were created in another application like Affinity Designer to the shape library? Thanks for the awesome video.

Export as a PDF and then import the PDF into Pages.

@@macmost Thank you for your response. I was able to import the PDF to my document, but was unable to later add it to the Shapes Library, perhaps this isn't proper term to used in this instance, if so please forgive me. Anyway, I was unable to see the "Save to My Shapes" option from the PDF that was selected.

When I go to print the sign it comes out real small I must be doing something. Wrong

Just check your print options carefully.

Why not use “FIT PAGE” instead of a specific zoom percentage?

For one, those are buggy. Try them sometimes and you'll see they sometimes don't work. Second, it is nice when making a sign to sometimes see it as a piece of paper to visualize what you are getting.

I don’t believe one can do this that easily in Word. Am I wrong?

Sure. You could use Word or a lot of other word processor or page layout apps to do this too. I'm just showing you how to do it in Pages.
