Using Layouts

In Pages, you can vary the design in a page layout document by creating columns in text

boxes, and in a word processing document through layouts separated by layout breaks.

For more information about working with text boxes in page layout documents, see

“Using Text Boxes, Shapes, and Other Eects to Highlight Text” on page 104.

In a word processing document, layouts are separated by layout breaks. A layout is

part of a document in which you’ve dened specic column attributes and space

around the columns, called the layout margin.

You can have multiple layouts in a section of your document, or even on a single page.
