Program for creating documents on mac for mac#

Click in the center of shape and move to the desired location on the page. Unlike in other “drawing” applications, you do not draw the shape, rather it is just pre-sized on the page. Upon selecting the shape from the drop down list, the shape is placed in the center of the page.

The icon is at the top of Pages in the center. Usually I want some sort of header on my handout, my shape of choice is the rounded edge rectangle. Using Pages you can recreate almost any brochure you’ve seen. Most of the time I choose a BLANK layout from the template chooser. In Page Layout, you must create a text box in order to type anything on the page. In Word Processing, just like a Word document, you are able to type directly onto the page. One quick way to tell if you’re in a Word Processing doc or in a Page Layout document is to just start pounding on the keyboard. Page Layout documents allow you to place text boxes, drawing and images anywhere on the page. What makes Pages so awesome is that it allows you to have a blank canvas, in order to do this you need to steer away from the “Word Processing” document types and stick to “Page Layout” I actually do not use Word or Pages when I need to type a text document. iWork aside, I particularly like using Pages when I need to make any kind of brochure or sign. A downside is that the world has more Office users than Apple iWork users so sharing documents can be an issue. There are many features that I like about these productivity tools over the Office Suite.

This is Pages instead of Word, Keynote instead of PowerPoint and Numbers instead of Excel.

If you have a Mac you may have installed Microsoft Office for Mac or you may use the productivity suite that Mac use to call iWorks but now sells ala carte.
