    Pages and subdocuments

    I've moved almost entirely over from Word to Pages. And, mostly, I'm finding it easier to achieve what I want. There is, though, one thing which defeats me. Word had a master document option. While it resulted in terrible performance and loss of data, the aim was good. Allow one master...

    removing indentation from "body" text in Pages?

    my problem: text marked as "body" in Pages has a mandatory indentation at the beginning of the body of text. Pages does allow for the addition and removal of indentation, but not in this case. I have looked in settings and not figured out how to fix this, though I can change the default font and...

    Booklet Printing in Pages

    Good morning, I am attempting to print a booklet about 44 pages. I have found the booklet option for printing and it is printing in the correct order but my print area has shrunk quite a bit. Instead of a .5" margin at the top and bottom, I have 1 1/2" margin at the top and 1" at the bottom. I...

    Universal Pages not exporting to PDF or moving to another location

    Every time I attempt to export a Pages document to PDF, I get an error message that says the document could not be autosaved. The same error appears even when I create a new Pages document. The same error happens when I switch to the iCloud version of Pages and try to export to PDF. Also, when...

    Table Across Multiple Pages in Pages?

    Hello, I have a long table that goes beyond the length of one page. Pages does not split the table into 2 parts and it lays on top of the footer of the first and header of the next page. It basically stays 1 table and there's no seperation. How can I break the table or make it properly...

    How to Center Tables in Mac Pages?

    I am trying to find out how I center a table in Mac Pages. When I click "arrange" and the select "Stay On Page" then I can center but the problem is that it does not move with the text when I add more text above it. When I select "Move With Text" then I can't center it anymore. What can I do...

    Pages keeps falling over

    As a relative newcomer to Pages (on Ventura and now Sonoma), I realise that there is much to learn. But the problem I'm having is that Pages just quits - quite regularly. My perception is that it tends to occur when I scroll, mostly with mouse wheel, through a document. I'm not sure if...

    Resolved Cannot view Table of Contents sidebar in PDF exported from Pages

    I’ve had loads of problems with Word creating PDFs. Basically, whatever I have done, it fails during the PDF creation process under macOS. I have to re-open the document under Windows and create the PDF like that. Aside from being a nuisance, I’ve had problems with some special characters/emoji...

    Trouble with cell

    I have a document with columns. There is a black background behind the text word "Flight" that I can't get rid of or change its properties. I don't know how I made it, it may have been started in Word and updated in Pages. The cursor will not go to the beginning of the black background, only to...

    Apple Pages: Adjust line spacing for one line?

    Hello, I inserted a "♭" symbol in a line and it thereby increased the line spacing of that line. It's much larger than the other lines now. When I go into the Format -> Spacing menu and reduce the Spacing, all lines get decreased. It seems like it is not necessarily the line spacing that...

    M2 15" MacBook Air Can't handle Apple Pages

    Okay that's a bit hyperbolic. But there is one task I do in Pages which has it running like this: 100.1% CPU usage! And it was getting pretty warm as well. I used to do the same task on my 2017 iMac and it really struggled, so I threw the new MacBook Air at it, expecting it to fly through it...

    Resolved Line not centered in Pages

    When I type a Single Letter on an empty line and then hit the CENTER button under Format, Style, the letter is centered at the 4 1/2" mark under the ruler, but it should beat 4 1/4" for the standard 8 1/2" paper. The margins are set at 1" all the way around. What am I doing wrong?

    To understand "margins" section if using a custom paper size

    In Pages, you can use custom paper sizes, e.g., 7.5 by 11 inches: File > Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes. Then there will be a window where you can set all the necessary values. What I don't understand is the **Margins** section. I know what the margins are, but irrespective...

    iCloud To access a file from arbitrary folder

    I have many Pages documents in different folders on my Mac and sometimes I need to edit them on an iPad. I tried to use iCloud for this, but it seems iCloud requires me to move them to the iCloud folder first, and this isn't convenient to me (that is, I want to keep them in their original...
