Chapter 1. Creating a Pages Document

Most of us think of a word processor as a glorified typewriter, a simple way to organize ideas and arguments for the printed page. You craft words into paragraphs, juggle them, refine them, and you’re done. Tap, tap, tap. Print.

Pages goes a big step further, making it easy not only to compose your documents, but to design them, too. Whether you’re publishing a glossy newsletter or just writing a thank-you note to Aunt Peg, Pages lets you grace your documents with the visual polish your words deserve.

This chapter takes you on a quick tour of your new word-processing digs, helping you find your way around Pages’ well-appointed interface. You’ll jump right into creating your own basic documents with some simple projects that highlight Pages’ main features.
