Writing the Mac way
Writing comes naturally when you use Pages ’08. The most intuitive word
processing application on the Mac, Pages puts the tools you need within easy
reach. Now writing is as easy and enjoyable as using a Mac.
All the tools you need
The new context-sensitive Format Bar lets you add a personal touch to your
document’s appearance. Choose fonts, set leading and alignment, and apply
paragraph and character styles. All the basics - just a click away. Pages
automatically formats lists on the fly and generates tables of contents on
demand. You can insert headers and footers and add footnotes. Apply polish to
your documents using the proofing and editing tools. And navigate quickly
through even the longest documents with page thumbnails.
Track changes effortlessly
If you collaborate with others, you’ll find the new change tracking tools
invaluable. Change bubbles make it easy to see who suggested which change. You
can accept or reject changes all at once or on a case by case basis.
Seamless interaction with Address Book means you can easily create personalized
documents such as business cards, invoices, and faxes. With your personal
information automatically added to stationery templates, your documents
practically begin to write themselves.
Powerful page layout
Newsletters. Brochures. Flyers. When you want to switch from writer to designer,
Pages provides the layout tools you need. Suddenly it’s easy to build
beautiful, media-rich documents certain to impress readers.
Complete layout control
Produce documents that look exactly the way you envision them. With the
free-form canvas, you can move photos, charts, shapes, and other objects
wherever you like. And place them precisely using the built-in rulers and
alignment guides.
Control text wrapping
To add a photo to a page, simply drag it from the Media Browser and drop it into
your document. Turn on Wrap to control how text flows around the photo. Use the
format bar to set text to wrap to the left or right, around, or above and
below images.
Follow the flow of text
New to Pages, visual text box links let you follow the flow of text through your
document. Say an article starts on page two and jumps to page five. Text links
track it and let you see at a glance if you have more words to place. All it
takes is a click to create a new text box into which the remaining text flows.
Widely compatible
Pages ‘08 supports industry-standard formats, so you can easily open documents
created in other word processing applications and share documents with others.
Whether they’re using a Mac or a PC.
Open for business
Import your Microsoft Word documents into Pages ’08 with ease. Whether
they’re Microsoft Office 2007 (Office Open XML) or earlier Word files, Pages
will open them. Pages imports not only the text, but also the styles, tables,
inline and floating objects, charts, footnotes, endnotes, bookmarks, hyperlinks,
lists, sections, change tracking, and other elements of your original Word
document. Pages ’08 also opens AppleWorks word processing documents, as
well as files saved in Rich Text Format (RTF). It imports a wide assortment of
audio (AAC, AIFF, and MP3), image (EPS, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PSD), video (MOV), and
other media types.
Getting the word out
When it’s time to share Pages documents with friends and colleagues, you can
export them as PDF documents, in Word .doc format, as RTF, or as plain text
documents. Or send your documents to iWeb for publication on your website as
Pages ’08 or PDF documents. (For the former, readers will need a copy of
Pages; for the latter, Preview or Adobe Reader.)
