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!

Coming from a PC and new to Mac. This was a HUGE help!

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.

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.

I need to buck up to your Patrion, you free information has been so insightful. Thankyou

Styles in Pages are brilliantly implemented. I’ve never been able to grasp how they work in Word.

Damn Gary, I don't know how you do it. So much killer info in just 5 minutes. Thanks for this.

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...

Ok, the go to document creator has usually been Word, Libre, etc. This video has shown a lot that Pages can do. Thank you!

The reason I come to macmost first. Quick and easy! Thank you!

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.

HI es, 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.

SO happy I found this. Wish I saw this 6 months ago!

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.

Nice and straightforward. Thanks for this, I think Pages is more advanced than Word…my opinion of course

Mac Most is the most! Thanks Gary!

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.

Thanks man, I’m a new mac user from windows, i need that video!!!!!

Great tutorial ~ TY it is awesome 💯

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏❤️

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.

Loved it, Gary! Thank you so much 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Really nice video. Of course I took the MacMost Pages class which was great! This was an excellent reminder of the functionality of Styles.

Excellent. I have been using Pages for years and still learned a lot!

Excellent intro to using Pages. I now know more than I did in the years of using a Mac. lol

Thank you very much. I was almost going to buy Office 2021 but now I can give pages a try.

I didn’t realise Pages was so good.

AWESOME! I am cancelling my subscription to Microsoft office right now! Thank you! You are amazing!

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!

wow! short and to the point. I like this video! thank you.

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.

Thank you!

A masterclass in teaching and pages too , well done, so exact and clear in every part, well done .

Another excellent tutorial.

When I print a document from a website called Musicnotes which sells sheet music, my MacBook Pro chops off the title of the page. I have to use a work-around to get it all on one sheet of paper.

I get enough of it on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper to make it look reasonably right. I shouldn't have to do this. I don't have this problem with any other documents. I am using Safari but Musicnotes does not stipulate any conditions to print this. In fact, the Preview show it correctly until I get to the Mac Printer dialogue box. Then it show it with the top chopped off. Any suggestions?

I write a monthly newsletter dealing with family history, which is distributed locally. I like to include a link or two to each subject. I highlight to make them links, then highlight them using Insert>Highlight. They show up on the screen as yellow links, but they never print out yellow. The link feature is still attached, just not in the highlighted yellow. I'm using Pages on my 2-year-old Mac Mini, with an HP Officejet Pro 8620. If this is something I'm doing wrong in Pages, please instruct me. If this is a printer problem, let me know and I'll contact HP. Thanks so much!!!
