CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION 

Any type of document can be made using Pages, from straightforward text-only word processing documents to page layout documents with graphics, unique font treatments, and more.

Every document you produce begins with a template, which you may then customize however you like. To provide you a wonderful place to start with your work, the templates are created for certain objectives such as essays, newsletters, and novels.

Apple Inc. created the word processing program called Pages. It works on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS and is a subset of the iWork productivity suite. Also, it is accessible online via iCloud.  In February 2005, Pages' initial version was released.  According to Apple, Pages is a quick and easy program that enables users to easily generate documents on their devices.  Pages comes with a selection of templates created by Apple that cover a variety of topics (such as outlines, posters, resumes, and letters). 

Choosing a template when using Pages. To filter options, select one of the template categories shown in the left sidebar. The predesigned templates are displayed on the right as thumbnails, arranged in rows by type, with Basic at the top and Reports and Books—Portrait following it. The bottom-left corner houses the Language and Region pop-up menu, while the bottom-right corner houses the Cancel and Create buttons.

After you've opened a template, you can change the text, add new objects, and replace any placeholder visuals (tables, charts, text boxes, shapes, lines, and media).

The formatting and layout controls are located in the sidebar to the right of the Pages window, and they are used to change the text and objects in your project (shown below). Aside from the controls for the text or item you selected, the sidebar is empty.
