Pages 2 tips
Using "Comments" in Pages You can 'attach' comments to any part of your Pages document. Simply select the object to which you want to attach the comment and then click on the "Comment" button on the toolbar or use Insert -> Comment. The comment will appear out to the left of the page. WARNING: if you insert comments, the "View -> Show Comments" becomes active and when you print the document, the pages will be reduced to allow space for the comments to print in a column on the left of the paper - even if you have deleted all the comments. To be able to print the document like it is laid out, you need to go select "View -> Hide Comments" before you print. Sending a Pages document To send a Pages document to another Mac user with Pages installed, you must 'archive' or 'zip' the pages file. In reality, what appears to be the Pages file is a folder with the images, thumbnails and contents files. If you attach the Pages file to an email message, the recipient will not get anything. To archive the file so you can send it, right-click on the pages file and select "Make Archive of filename". This creates a .zip file that has everything the recipent needs - assuming they have Pages installed on their Mac. Note: if you are using Thunderbird and you open the zip file with Stuffit automatically, the zip file will be downloaded to the "downloaded files" folder specified in Safari Preferences (the "temp" or "downloads" folder on the NCCE Macs), then the file is 'unziped' into that same folder. You'll need to open the file from there. To send a Pages document to a Windows user or a Mac user without Pages installed, create a PDF of the document from the Print dialog window. If you have any questions or problems, please contact your IM Agent or the EIT HelpDesk.
