Overview of Pages

Address Book Fields

Address Book fields let you easily insert names, phone numbers, addresses—any data

you’ve defined for contacts in Address Book—into Pages documents. This capability

lets you reuse a document, such as a letter or contract, for multiple people by

inserting person-specific data into Address Book fields in the document.

Master Objects

Some graphics, such as watermarks or logos, appear on every page. These objects are

called “master objects.” If you cannot select an object in a template, it’s probably a

master object. To learn more, see “Adding a Repeated Background Image” on page 75.

The Blank Document Template

If you want to create a document but not use a template that’s designed for a specific

purpose, you can create a blank document by using the Blank template. Select Blank

in the Template Chooser, click Choose, and just begin typing.

Changing the Document’s Onscreen Appearance

As you work on your document, you may want to zoom in or out to get a better view

of what you are doing, or use other techniques for viewing your document.

Zoom Levels

To zoom in or out of the document, do one of the following:
 Choose View > Zoom > [zoom level].

 Click the Page View control in the bottom-left corner of the window, and choose a

magnification level from the pop-up menu.
