Hello.
I had a chance to play a little with Pages9 last night. and indeed
went to the preferences where I chose to use a blank template for a
new document. I am left with 3 fields so it would appear: text field
area, header to the left and footer to the right.
I played with tables for a while but I get nowhere with it. I get no
feedback as to whether I am in a table or not or which column or row I
am in. In the help menus of Pages, there is a section for keyboard
shortcuts which I think is quite useful. However, even armed with that
knowledge, I wasn't able to achieve much. So tables it would appear
are still a very difficult area.
I also played with lists, and unless I got things wrong, I wasn't
getting any feedback from voiceover - having created a bulleted list -
hwether the bullets were really there or not. The same went for
numbered list. Again I followed the instructions on creating lists
from the help pages of Pages.
In order to save pages into different format of documents, i.e. Word
format, .rtf. txtl, one needs to go to the share/export menu, and
there the dialogue that opens is pretty familiar and usable.\
There's however the cut text option in Pages executed with command+x.
With best wishes
Simon

Hi Scott,

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the word processor
give me a simple editing view, free of the footnote, header, and
new page elements that it is showing now. There's got to be a
view option that allows you to get a simple editing view without
any formatting
I haven't had a chance to look at the new Pages 09 yet, but at a
guess, based on Pages 08, open preferences (Command-Comma) and look
for an option that says "For new documents" and change the radio
button from "Show Template Chooser" to "Use template: Blank".
Cheers,
Esther
