Pages is marketed by Apple as an easy-to-use application that allows users to quickly create documents on their devices. A number of Apple-designed templates comprising different themes (such as letters, résumés, posters, and outlines), are included with Pages. Many advanced features that were available in version 4.3, including mail merge, bookmarks, text box linking, advanced find/replace, alternating left-right margins (along with alternating left-right headers and footers), 2-up "page spread" viewing, non-contiguous text selection, and robust Applescript support were not included in version 5. Also, many of the templates available in version 4.3 have been removed in version 5. In addition, Pages features dynamic text wrapping, aligning guides, multiple columns and other advanced technology for layout.
An integrated iLife media browser lets users drag and drop photos from the iPhoto library directly into documents. Additionally, over 40 Apple-designed templates.
Pages can output documents in Microsoft Word or the former AppleWorks formats, as well as PDF documents.
