patreon there you could read more about the patreon campaign join us and get exclusive content and course discounts so pages is Apple's own word processor and if you don't already have it on your Mac you can get it for free from the back app store when you first run Pages you may see an open file dialog like this if you do click new document or you may just start right here with choose a template there are a variety of different templates for different purposes some may fit your needs and you could just start with those we're going to start with a blank one right here and create a brand new document note that Pages has two modes word processing mode and page layout mode we're going to stick with word processing mode for this tutorial so with our blind document let's start off by typing a title we're going to change the Style by going to the right sidebar if you don't see the right sidebar you can click on this format button here it will come up with the blinking cursor in that first line change the style to something like heading now we're going to press return to go to the next line pages of smart enough enough to know to change the style to body text is you probably don't want two heading lines right after each other now let's add some text here so now we have our first paragraph of text let's select all this and set the font to exactly what we want still under format with style selected here we can go and change the font let's change to something like this and make it a little bit bigger now we can see it still says it's body text but body with an asterisk let's update that with the update button now that changes the body style to be this exact font we could do the same thing here with this heading let's go and change that make it a little bit bigger change the font and now we'll update the heading style let's add some more text and another heading line here with the blinking cursor on this line I will change the style to make this heading so it matches this one now I'll add some more text one of the advantages using Styles rather than just selecting text and changing the font is that if I make a change to say this paragraph here maybe will make it a little bit bigger I can update it it's how it updates all of the paragraphs that are set to body text I do the same thing here with heading I can make this a little bit bigger maybe even change its color and update heading you can see how it does it for everything with that style we can also change line spacing and paragraph spacing so with my cursor in this paragraph I'm going to go in format style down to spacing increase the line spacing just a bit now let's add some spacing after each paragraph now I change it for that paragraph updating the body style will update it for all of them let's also change the spacing after the heading style right here and update you can also change margins for that go to the document sidebar and then under document you'll see document margins so if I wanted more or less on the left margin I could change the value right here I could also add indents I'm going to put the blinking cursor in this paragraph here I'm going to go to format and then I'm going to go to layout and here I've got indents if it isn't open you can click here and I can change say the first lined indent in a little bit like that I could also go to view and then show rulers and then I'll see the rulers here and you can see the first line indent and the left side and right side indents with this indentation on this paragraph now I can update body text and you can see it is now true for all body paragraphs if you ever need to Center something go to format style let's go here to heading and I can use this button right here to Center The Heading if I update it will update for all of the paragraphs using that style you can also set headers and Footers for every page go to the top and you'll see three boxes this is the header I could put something like my name here and maybe the document title there if I go to the bottom I'll find three boxes at the bottom here as well I'll click there and I'm going to use the insert page number button and just insert a page number now those are going to appear on every page to force the text to start on a new page go to where you want that break to occur like just before this heading here and choose insert in either page break or section break and you can see how that forces it to the next page here if you want to add an image you can use this media button here and use this to select something from your photos library or you can just drag and drop a file right into the document and it can then grab any corner to resize the image and I can just drag it from the middle to move it around notice how the text naturally flow goes around this image like that under format Style with the image selected you can now choose a preset style or set up your own style here using line and Border options you could add other elements as well including shapes tables if you want to format data the right way or have a little mini spreadsheet in your document you could add Charts as well when you're done you can go to file print to send the document to your printer or you can go to file export to and most likely you're looking to export the document as a PDF but you can also export as word format or ePub format if you like so there are the basics but there's a lot more to pages I have a ton of tutorials if you want to learn more [Music] if you like this video click the Thumbs Up Button below to let me know I publish new tutorials
