Chapter 2. Editing Text in Pages

With Pages’ flashy arsenal of design features, it’s tempting to take the program’s mild-mannered writing tools for granted. The page-layout features certainly set Pages apart from other word processing programs, but the gang at Apple haven’t forgotten that, in the end, it’s words that tell the story. Beneath the program’s stylish veneer beats the heart of a full-featured word processor to help polish your prose to a high shine. Along the way, you can shape every aspect of your text’s visual presentation, from the sublime (ah, subtle typography tweaks) to the ridiculous (shadowed text!). This chapter covers everything you need to know about editing and formatting your text in Pages.
