Pages User Guide

for iPad

The template chooser, showing a row of categories across the top that you can tap to filter the options. Below are thumbnails of pre-designed templates arranged in rows by category, starting with Recents at the top and followed by Basic and Reports. A See All button appears above and to the right of each category row. The Language and Region button is in the top-right corner.

Get started with a template

All documents begin with a template — a model you can use as a starting point. You can create word processing documents, like reports and letters, and page layout documents, like posters and newsletters. Simply replace the template text and images with your own content.

Intro to word processing and page layout documents

The Insert menu with buttons across the top to add tables, charts, shapes and media. Shapes is selected and its menu shows a row of categories with a Search button on the left. The category Activities is selected and shapes appear below.

Add tables, photos, drawings and more

Add objects like tables, charts, shapes and media (images, drawings, audio and video) to your document. You can layer objects, resize them, and place them anywhere on the page.

Intro to images, charts and other objects

The Format controls for changing the size and appearance of the selected image. Style, Image and Arrange buttons are across the top of the controls.

Customise every detail

Change the look of your text, add a drop shadow to an image, fill shapes with colour and more — you can modify everything in your document.

Let your text flow

Get creative with the way text flows through your document. Have an image? Wrap your text around it. Want text to flow in irregular columns or continue a sidebar onto another page? Link text boxes so the text flows from one box to the next.

Place objects with text

The Add People screen showing a picture of the document to be shared. Below it are buttons for ways to send the invitation, including Mail, a Copy Link and More. At the bottom is the Share Options button.

Collaborate in real time

Invite others to work with you on your document. Everyone you invite can see changes as they’re made, but you control who can edit or only view the document.
