window to fill your screen, or make it short or narrow. Choose Fit Width to view all the

Layout View

In layout view you can see the outlines of the different text areas of your document,
including headers, footers, columns, text boxes, and the document body (the main area
of text in the document).

In layout view document rulers and alignment guides become visible. Pages also
displays the document ruler, which contains controls for formatting text, when you
show a document’s layout.
