Pages Tools and Techniques

To show or hide a document’s layout:

m

Click View in the toolbar and then choose Show Layout or Hide Layout.

In the following example, you can see the page layout includes two columns at the top,
two layout breaks, and then three columns, a floating image, and the footer area.

A layout is part of a document in which you have defined layout margins and columns.
As the example above illustrates, you can have multiple layouts on a single page. A
layout break ends one layout and starts a new one with a different number of columns.
See “Using Layouts” on page 44 for details.

The example above shows a floating image. A floating image stays where you place it
on a page, unless you drag it to a new position. Text flows around a floating image as
you type. There’s a second kind of image: an inline image. An inline image is an image
placed so that it’s anchored to text. An inline image moves with the text around it. To
learn how to place images so that they’re floating or inline, see “Adding Images” on
page 158.
