Chapter 1 Getting Started with Pages 43
 RTF: RTF stands for Rich Text Format, a file format that retains most text formatting
and graphics. You can open and edit RTF files in a word processor.
 Plain Text: Plain Text files can be opened and edited in a text editing application,
such as TextEdit. However, exporting to a plain text file removes all your formatting,
and images aren’t exported.
m If you have iWeb ‘08 or later installed, you can send a Pages document directly to a
blog or podcast entry, as an attachment. Choose File > Send to iWeb > PDF or
Pages Document. In iWeb, choose the blog or podcast to attach your document to.
m To print a document, choose File > Print.
Working with Page Layout Documents
You would choose a Page Layout template (rather than a Word Processing template) for
a graphics-intensive document, such as a flyer, where you’ll frequently reposition
images and other objects. Page layout documents are also useful for continuing text on
nonsequential pages, as you would do in a newsletter.
You can do all the tasks described so far in this chapter in page layout documents as
well as in word processing documents. This section of the tutorial explains the
differences between the two kinds of documents and describes some of the typical
tasks when working with page layout documents.
