Using Advanced Typography Features
Some fonts, such as Zapfino and Hoefler, have advanced typography features, which
let you create different effects. If you are using a font that has different typography
effects available, you can change many of them in the Font submenu of the Format
menu. For example, you may be able to adjust the following:
 Tracking: Place characters closer together or farther apart
 Ligature: Use or leave out stylish flourishes between letters or at the end or
beginning of lines that combine two or more text characters into one glyph
 Baseline: Move text higher or lower than the text around it
 Capitalization: Convert all characters to capital or small capital letters
More advanced typography features are available in the Typography window.
To open the Typography window:
m In the Font panel, choose Typography from the Action pop-up menu (in the lower-left
corner).
Using Automatic Text Substitution
Pages can be set to recognize and replace text you don’t want with text you do want.
For example, when you type “teh,” Pages can automatically change it to “the.”
To set up automatic text substitution:
1 Choose Pages > Preferences, and then click Auto-Correction.
2 Make settings as desired:
 To automatically convert single and double quotation marks to smart quotes so that
opening and closing quotation marks are not identical, select “Use smart quotes.”
 To make sure that the first word in a sentence begins with a capital letter, select “Fix
capitalization.”
 To automatically convert the letters in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on into superscripts,
select “Superscript numerical suffixes.”
