Formatting a Document’s Layout and Table of Contents
Setting Page Margins
The default margins for most of the Pages templates, including Blank, are set to one
inch from the left and right sides of the page, and one inch from the top and bottom.
This means that the body text of the document will not expand outside of these
margins.
To change the page margins:
m
In the Document pane of the Document Inspector, enter values in the Left, Right, Top,
and Bottom fields.
If you want to set different margins in different sections of your document, you must
use the Layout Inspector. To learn about setting layout margins, see “Varying Column
If you are creating a document that will be bound, you may want your document
margins to take into account which side of the page will go into the binding (the
inside margin) and which will be the loose edge of each page (the outside margin). To
do this, you must create a document with left- and right-facing pages. To read about
this, see “Creating a Document with Left- and Right-Facing Pages” on page 96.
Creating Columns
In Pages, you can vary the design on different pages of your document by creating
layouts, separated by layout breaks. A layout is part of a document in which you have
defined layout margins and columns. You can have multiple layouts in a section of
your document, or even on a single page.
You can lay out text in up to ten columns, adjusting relative column size and the
spacing between columns.
To create one to four columns of equal width:
m
Click Columns in the toolbar and select the number of columns you want, up to four.
If the Columns button isn’t in the toolbar, or if you want more than four columns, you
must use the Layout Inspector. You must also use the Layout Inspector if you want to
make columns with unequal widths.
