Working with a Pages Document

Appearance of Text

Consider how you might use text in your document to emphasize the organization of
content and to create a compelling design.
 Which fonts will you use in the document? See “Formatting Text Size and

Appearance” on page 75.

 Are there heading styles or fonts that you would like to use consistently throughout

the document? See “About Styles” on page 119.

 What shape or image would you like to use for bullets? What number styles for

outlines? See “Using Bulleted, Numbered, and Ordered Lists (Outlines)” on page 95.

 Will you make use of callouts, sidebars, or other highlighted text in your document?

See “Using Text Boxes, Shapes, and Other Effects to Highlight Text” on page 100.

Graphics and Other Objects

Think about how you will use graphical elements in your document, where they will
appear in the document flow, and what kinds of graphics you might use.
 Do you want objects to remain with text as the text changes (inline objects), or do

you want objects to stay in a particular location (floating objects)? See “Using
Floating and Inline Objects” on page 134 f
or more information about these two
options.

 How will images be used in your document? See “Working with Images” on

page 158.

 Can you use tables to clearly present information? See “About Tables” on page 167.
 Can you use charts to effectively display data? See “About Charts” on page 201.
 What will be the final format for your document (printed page, and so on)? See

“Printing Your Document” on page 225 and “Exporting to Other Document Formats”
on page 230.

 Will you make use of sound or movies in your document? See “Using Sound and

Movies” on page 164.
