[[Pages (word processor)|Pages]] is a word processing application.

Besides basic word processing functionality, Pages includes templates designed by Apple to allow users to create various types of documents, including [[newsletters]], invitations, [[stationery]], and [[résumé]]s, along with a number of education-themed templates for students and teachers, such as reports and outlines.<ref name="pr05"/><ref name="pr08"/> Pages 5, a complete redesign, removed more than 100 of the features of Pages 4.x, including bookmarks, mail merge, linked text boxes, multiple section capability, ability to set default zoom. It has been slowly adding some back in subsequent 5.x releases (default zoom, for example, can now be set, but still no linked text boxes, multiple select, mail merge, book marks, and more than 90 other features that were present in version 4.3).

Along with Keynote and Numbers, Pages integrates with Apple's iLife suite. Using the Media Browser, users can drag and drop movies, photos and music directly into documents within the Pages application.<ref name="pr05"/> A Full Screen view hides the menubar and toolbars, and an outline mode allows users to quickly create outlines which can easily be rearranged by dragging and dropping, as well as collapsed and expanded. Pages includes support for entering complex equations with [[MathType|MathType 6]] and for reference citing using [[EndNote|EndNote X2]].<ref name="pr09"/>

The Pages application can open and edit Microsoft Word documents (including [[DOC (computing)|DOC]] and [[Office Open XML]] files), and [[Text file|plain text]] documents.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/iwork/compatibility/|title=iWork – Open, save, and email Microsoft Office files|publisher=Apple|access-date=April 16, 2012}}</ref> Pages 5 can no longer read or export [[Rich Text Format|rich text format]] documents. Pages can also export documents in the DOC, PDF, and ePub formats.<ref name="pr06"/> It cannot read or write [[OpenDocument]] file formats.

As a word-processing application targeted towards creating attractive documents for a range of applications such as lesson plans and newsletters, Pages competes with [[Microsoft Word]], [[Microsoft Publisher]] (never ported to macOS), Apple's own free [[e-book]] and PDF authoring application, [[iBooks Author]], and Adobe's professional-market desktop publishing application [[InDesign]].
