2. Online Tutorial • http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#pages-intro • There are several video tutorials on all of the iWorks applications here and they are VERY helpful. • NOTE: The videos are on iWork Pages 2009 and we have 2008 so there are some differences!

3. Opening Pages • Pages is a word processing program as well as a publication program. • When you first open Pages you will see the Template Chooser. • You can pick a template or just a blank page. The templates are similar to those in Publisher and in Word. The blank page just allows you to start typing. • The next slide will show you a screen shot of the template chooser.

4. Word Processing vs. Page Layout • Word Processing • Like Microsoft Word • The blank document allows you just to type • The items you find in this section all deal with different types of documents that you may have to type like, letters, envelopes, forms, resumes, reports, and more. • Page Layout • Like Microsoft Publisher • The blank document here allows you to insert text boxes and graphics to set up a publication. • The items you find here are different publications like newsletters, brochures, flyers, posters, cards, and more.
