76 Chapter 5 Working with Text
Creating Outlined Text Using the Menus
You can change text to appear as a stenciled outline.
To create outlined text:
1 Select the text you want to make outlined, or click where you want to type new text.
2 Choose Format > Font > Outline.
Outlined text you create in Pages may look different if the document is opened in
another application. If you plan to share a document that contains outlined text with
people who don’t have Pages installed on their computers, export the document as a
PDF file and then share this file with others.
Underlining Text Using the Menus
You can underline text and then format the underline to change the underline style or
color.
To underline text:
1 Select the text you want to underline, or click where you want to type new text.
2 Choose Format > Font > Underline.
To modify the underline style or color, click Fonts in the toolbar and use the Text
Underline button in the Font panel. See “Using the Font Panel to Format Text” on
page 77.
Many templates include an underline character style. To display the character styles
defined for your document, click the Character Styles button in the Format Bar. Select
the text you want to underline, and then choose the underline character style from the
character styles displayed.
Changing Text Size Using the Menus
You can change the point size of text to make the text larger or smaller.
To change the size of selected text:
1 Select the text you want to resize.
2 To change the text size in 1-point increments, choose Format > Font > Bigger. Or
choose Format > Font > Smaller.
You can also add Bigger and Smaller icons to the toolbar. Choose View > Customize
Toolbar, drag the icons to the toolbar, and then click Done.
To specify a precise size for selected text, click Fonts in the toolbar and use the Size
controls in the Font panel. See “Using the Font Panel to Format Text” on page 77.
