    Very useful as always, Gary. Question: is there a way to keep lines on the same page using Pages for iPad? I wish Pages for iPad’s format side car had the same Style, Layout, and More buttons as the Mac version.

    Over the last couple of decades I've relied primarily on ether Quark or inDesign for most of my word processing. But today you've opened me up to a whole new app that is as much featured rich as my old stand-bys. Perhaps the Pages features weren't there in the past for me to even consider, but you've opened my eyes to Pages and all that it can do. Plus I got tired of paying so much money for Adobe and Quark features that I just don't need or want to pay anymore. Thank you so much.

    I never thought drop cap can be further customized! Great tutorial, Gary..

    A suggestion: Maybe you could do a tutorial how to do infographic by just using Pages.

    I have long held to the theory that it pays to create a practice document and then just "noodle around" in a given program to see what you can discover. Or…you can watch Gary's helpful tutorials! Thank you! 😊

    How to force a line break in a paragraph where you’re using “Space After” without hitting the Return key (which would give you an unwanted line space)? Use Shift Return.

    Also, keep in mind that there is world of difference between everyday formatting and professional, such as most professionally produced books use either space between paragraphs OR first-line indent, but not both. My go to site for all things typography is “Practical Typography”, maintained by Matthew Butterick. He is also a source of reasonably priced fonts with a generous licensing arrangement you can use.

    I am sure you have mentioned it in another video, but what you missed in this one is how to create a new paragraph style from an existing paragraph style.

    Excellent tutorial, as usual. Introduced many useful features. Many thanks!

    The Format sidebar in Pages has so much power, but it can be confusing every time I try to do something. This one is full of "A-Ha!" moments, bookmarked! Thanks Gary.

    Whoa, really good one today. Love it! As Pages can be a little tricky with a lot of functionality "hidden", this brought a lot of info out of the shadows and in to the light. Thanks!

    i like using Pages but I send documents to many people who do not use a Mac is there any way I could use Pages and still make the documents open for non-mac users?
