Get started with Pages on iPhone
Pages makes it easy to create customised, professional-looking documents. Here’s how to get started.
Choose a template
Drafting a report? Creating a flyer? Writing your novel? You can use Pages to create any kind of document you want, from a simple word-processing document that’s mainly text, to a page layout document with graphics, specialised font treatments and more. To get started, go to the Pages app on your iPhone, tap Choose a Template (you may need to tap first), then tap a template.
Add text
How you add text depends on if you’re working on a word-processing and page layout documents. In a word-processing document, simply start typing or tap a placeholder, then start typing. In a page layout document, all text is contained in an object like a text box or shape. To add text, add an object to your document, double-tap the object, then start typing.
Format text
You can customise the look of text by changing the font, colour, alignment and spacing. For a word-processing document, select the text you want to customise, then tap in the toolbar to view your options. For a page layout document, select the text, tap , then tap the Text tab.
Add objects and media
You can add objects such as text boxes, tables, photos and more to your document. To add an object, tap in the toolbar, tap one of the object buttons at the top of the menu, then select an object.
Export your document
To convert a Pages document to another format, you export it in the new format. You can export your document as a PDF, Word document, EPUB and more. To export a document, tap in the toolbar, tap Export and Send, then choose one of the options to save a copy of your document in the new format.
