Select the checkbox “Use first page as book cover image” if you want to use a

thumbnail image of the document’s first page as the icon for this book in your iBooks
library, and start the book’s content from the document’s second page. The cover
image is also visible opposite the book’s table of contents. If you leave this checkbox
deselected, the book uses the generic icon in your iBooks library.

You won’t be able to open the ePub file in Pages. The file can only be opened as a
book in an ePub reader. In iBooks, the book font is set to the font you choose from
within the iBooks application. All the text sizes in the book are displayed only as small,
medium, or large, and you can select which size from within iBooks. Colors in the book
may not be identical to those in its Pages counterpart.

To transfer your ePub document to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch:

1

Make sure you’ve downloaded the iBooks application from the App Store onto

your device.

2

Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.

3

Drag the ePub file to Books, listed on the left side of the iTunes window, under Library.

4

Synchronize your device with iTunes.

For information about connecting your mobile device to your computer, synchronizing
it with iTunes, and using the iBooks application, see the documentation available for
the device.

Saving a Document as an iWork ’08 or Microsoft Word Document

You can save a Pages document so that users with iWork ’08 or Microsoft Word can
open and use the document.

To save a document for use with iWork ’08 or Microsoft Word:

1

Choose File > Save As, or choose File > Save.

2

Type a new name for the document in the Save As field.

3

Choose where you want to save the document.

4

Select “Save a copy as,” and choose iWork ’08 or Word Document from the

pop-up menu.

5

Click Save.

Users of Pages in iWork ’08 can open and use the document, but won’t be able to use
the new Pages ’09 features. For example:

Tracking changes to tables and floating objects isn’t supported, so those changes

Â

will be accepted.
Mail merge from a Numbers document isn’t supported, so those mail merge fields

Â

will export as text.
Viewing the document as an outline isn’t supported.
