Pages for [[macOS|OS X]] was updated to version 4.3 on December 4, 2012, to support Pages 1.7 for iOS, which was released on the same day. Pages for iOS 1.7.1 introduced better compatibility with Word and Pages for Mac, and version 1.7.2, released on March 7, 2013, merely added stability improvements and bug fixes. On October 23, 2013, Apple released a redesign with Pages 5.0 and made it free for anyone with an iOS device. In this release, many templates, as well as some advanced features that were available in version 4.3, were not included. Some of these missing features were put back over subsequent releases, but the current release still lacks features from version 4.3, including the ability to select non-contiguous regions of text, advanced find/replace functions, and more.{{update inline|date=July 2024}} ==Features== Pages is a word processor and page layout application. When Pages is first opened, users are presented with a template chooser which allows them to start with a blank document or with a predesigned template — including a basic, report, letter, résumé, envelope, business card, flyers & posters, cards, miscellaneous and a newsletter section of templates — that contains placeholder text and images which can be replaced by dragging and dropping photos from the Media Browser. The Media Browser provides quick access to media from [[iTunes]], [[iMovie]], and [[Photos (Apple)|Photos]]. Users can drag and drop music, movies, and photos directly into Pages documents from the Media Browser window.<ref name="pr05"/> Each document window contains a toolbar, which gives one-click access to commonly used functions such as inserting objects (text boxes, shapes, tables, charts, and comments), uploading the document to [[iWork.com]], and adding additional pages. In addition, the document window contains a contextual format bar that allows one-click formatting of text and adjustments to images. When text is selected, the format bar enables users to choose fonts, text size, and color, and to adjust line spacing and alignment. When an image is selected, the format bar displays tools to adjust opacity, show and hide shadow and reflection effects, and mask the image.<ref name="pr08">{{cite press release|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2007/08/07Apple-Introduces-iWork-08/|title=Apple Introduces iWork '08|publisher=[[Apple Inc.|Apple]]|date=August 7, 2007}}</ref> A separate Inspector window provides almost all formatting options available for any element in the open document. Beginning in iWork '08, word processing and page layout are two distinct modes. In word processing mode, Pages supports headers and footers, footnotes and outline,{{cn|date=May 2022}} and list creation. Users can collaborate with others on a document. Pages tracks changes by users by displaying each person's edits in different colors. Users can also add comments alongside the document. In page layout mode, users have complete control over the position of objects on the page. Images and text can be placed anywhere on the canvas.<ref name="pr08"/> Pages used to feature several other advanced writing tools. Many of these have been stripped out of the current version. The "Full Screen" mode (introduced in [[Mac OS X Lion]]) and supported in Pages 4.1 hid the menubar and toolbars, allowing users to focus on a single document without being distracted by other windows on the screen;<ref name="pr09"/> however, after Pages 5, full-screen mode requires the user to manually hide various panes for focused writing and the page thumbnails pane does not automatically open when the cursor is moved to the left screen edge. Earlier versions featured mail merge, which automatically populated custom fields with contact data from the Address Book or [[Numbers (spreadsheet)|Numbers]] apps to create personalized documents. For example, if a user wanted to send one letter to three people, mail merge allowed the user to create a single document with placeholder fields that were populated when printing.<ref name='pr06'>{{cite press release| title=Apple Announces iWork '06| date=January 10, 2006| url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2006/01/10Apple-Announces-iWork-06/| access-date=May 16, 2022}}</ref> The mail merge feature was completely removed in version 5 and it did not return until version 12.1.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/21/apple-iwork-updates-new-features/|title=Apple Updates Pages, Numbers, and Keynote With New Features|publisher=[[MacRumors]]|language=en|date=June 21, 2022}}</ref> Tables and charts pasted from Numbers are automatically updated if the original spreadsheet is changed.<ref name="pr09"/> ==Compatibility== Pages can import some [[Microsoft Word]] documents (including Word 2007's [[Office Open XML]] format<ref>{{cite web|url=https://support.apple.com/en-mt/HT202227|title=Convert Pages documents to PDF, Microsoft Word, and more|at=Formats you can open in Pages|date=October 2, 2020}}</ref>). Pages 4 and earlier could also import [[AppleWorks]] word processing documents, and export documents to [[Rich Text Format|rich text]], but those features were removed in Pages 5.0 and not restored until Pages 6.1.

The iCloud system can also read Microsoft Word files and convert Pages files to Microsoft Word format. Jumpshare can view Pages files. Other than accessing iCloud through a browser, no program can officially view or edit a Pages file using [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] or [[Linux]]. Some content can be retrieved from a document created in Pages '09 because a .pages file is a bundle. A user can open a .pages file in an unpackaging program or by renaming files as [[ZIP (file format)|.zip files]] in Windows (XP and onwards) and will find either a .jpg or .pdf preview in its entirety for viewing and printing, although this is only possible if the creator of the .pages files elected to include a preview. The user will also find a [[.xml]] file with unformatted text.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://xorglog.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-edit-mac-os-pages-documents-in.html|title=xorglog: How To: Edit Mac OS .pages documents in Linux|last=Madchine|year=2009 }}</ref> This process can also be used for users of the 2008 version of Pages to open documents saved in the 2009 version of Pages, which are not backward compatible. Pages can also export documents into several formats; formatting is generally retained during the export process. ==Version history== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;" !
