When you use the Copy or Cut command, the selected text is placed in a holding area
called the Clipboard, where it remains until you choose Copy or Cut again or you turn
off your computer. The Clipboard holds the contents of only one copy or cut operation
at a time.
To avoid unintentionally changing a document’s format by removing formatting
characters in addition to text, it’s a good idea to display formatting characters
(invisibles) before cutting or deleting text. To show invisibles, click View in the toolbar,
and then click Show Invisibles.
Formatting Text Size and Appearance
You can format text using the format bar, the Pages menus, the Text inspector, and the
