Preface

Welcome to Pages

17

Â

Associate comments with text, images, and other objects in your document.

Comments are an electronic way to “write in the margin” of a document.

Comments let you make annotations that relate to particular parts of a document

without actually changing the body of the document. They’re useful for making

notes to yourself, asking questions of reviewers, conveying editorial suggestions,

and so on.

Â

Navigate through and manage parts of a document using page thumbnails.

You can view miniature versions (thumbnails) of all the pages in a document,

displayed along the side of the document. The thumbnail view offers a quick way to

go to a specific page and to work with sections in the document. (A section is a

group of one or more pages that have the same layout, numbering, and other

document attributes. A chapter is an example of a section.)

Â

Use automatic text correction.

Automatic text correction lets you fix typos as you work, or automatically replace

text you type with other text.

You can have Pages automatically change quotes into smart quotes, correct

common spelling mistakes (replace “teh” with “the”), change (c) to ©, and so on. You

can also make sure that sentences start with a capital letter, and that email and web

addresses you type automatically become hyperlinks for Mail or Safari.

Â

List all occurrences of a word or phrase in a document at once.

You can generate a list of all occurrences of a specific word or phrase in your

document. If you select an occurrence in the list, the page containing the matching

text is displayed in the main viewing area. To edit the text, just press Return.

Â

Add endnotes to a document.

Instead of using footnotes, which are printed at the bottom of a page, you can use

endnotes. Place endnotes at the end of your document, or at the end of each

section in your document.
