Chapter 2 Creating a Document Using the Pages Templates 45
Step 5: Save and Share Your Document
When you work in Pages, you create a Pages document. All of the graphics and any
chart data are contained within this one document, which can be moved from one
computer to another. However, fonts are not included as part of the document, so if
you transfer a Pages document to another computer, be sure the fonts used in the
document have been installed in the Fonts folder of the other computer.
If you add movies or audio to your document, you can save them as part of your
Pages document so that you don’t have to transfer those files separately.
It’s a good idea to save your document often as you work.
To save your document:
1 Choose File > Save, or press Command-S.
2 Type a name for the document.
3 Click the disclosure triangle to the right of the Save As field.
4 Choose where you want to save the document.
5 If you plan to share the document between computers or with other users, do one or
more of the following:
 Select the “Copy audio and movies into document” checkbox if your document
contains movie or audio files.
If you don’t select this checkbox, then any audio or video files that you have
included in your document will not be carried along with it if you transfer your
document to another computer or send it to someone else. Documents that contain
media may have large file sizes.
 Select the “Copy template images into document” checkbox if you created your
document from a Pages template that contains an image.
If you don’t select this checkbox, then any image files that are part of the template
will not be carried along with your document if you transfer it to another computer
or send it to someone else. Documents that contain media may have large file sizes.
6 Click Save.
To learn about exporting your document in other file formats (including Microsoft
Word, HTML, rich text format, plain text, and PDF), see “Exporting to Other Document
Formats” on page 175.
