Apple Pages 2 - Manual (Page 88)

88 Chapter 4 Formatting Text and Paragraphs
 To set Pages to automatically detect that something you’ve typed is an email
address or a URL, select “Automatically detect email and web addresses.” Email and
web addresses you type automatically become hyperlinks for Mail or Safari.
 To replace one or more characters with one or more different characters, select
“Symbol and text substitution.” Then use the rows in the table to define and activate
specific substitutions. For example, when you type (c), you can have Pages
automatically convert it to © by putting a checkmark in the On column.
 To add a row to the table, click the Add (+) button. To remove a row, click the Delete
(–) button.
After you specify substitution settings, they’ll apply to any text you change or add in
any Pages documents.
Setting Text Alignment, Spacing, and Color
The primary tool for adjusting text attributes is the Text Inspector. You can make some
horizontal alignment adjustments (such as centering text or aligning it on the left) by
using the Format menu.
Using the Text Inspector
In the Text pane of the Text Inspector, you can change the text color and alignment.
You can also adjust the spacing between individual text characters and lines.
