Automatically Substituting Text

Pages can be set to recognize and replace text you don’t want with text you do want.

For example, when you type “teh,” Pages can automatically change it to “the.”

To set up automatic text substitution:

1 Choose Pages > Preferences.

2 Click Auto-Correction and make settings as desired.

Use smart quotes: Automatically convert single and double quotation marks to smart

(“curly”) quotes so that opening and closing quotation marks are not identical.

Fix capitalization: The rst word in a sentence begins with a uppercase letter.

Superscript numerical suxes: Automatically convert the letters in “1st,” “2nd,” “3rd,”

and so on into superscripts.

Automatically detect email and web addresses: Set Pages to automatically detect

that something you’ve typed is an email address or a URL. Email and web addresses

you type automatically become hyperlinks for Mail or Safari.

Automatically detect lists: Use automatic list generation.

Automatically use spell checker suggestions: Automatically replace misspelled words

if there is only one option in the spelling dictionary.

Symbol and text substitution: Replace one or more characters with one or more

dierent characters, and then use the rows in the table to dene and activate specic

substitutions. For example, when you type (c), you can have Pages automatically

dene your own substitution, click the Add (+) button. To remove a selected item, click

the Delete (–) button.

After you specify substitution settings, they’ll apply to any text you change or add in

any Pages document.
