    very simple. I loved how easy you made this process. I recently withdrew from an online adobe class and I found this very helpful. It also helps not to have to spend money on a program when you've already spent thousands on a MAC. thanks. I would love to see more videos

    Thank you!!! Best eye opener for me was, in fact, how simple the process is and that I can can use Pages which I already have for free on my Mac. Yay!!!

    I appreciate this so much. I'm creating my first workbook. I have other tools and have used a million in my life, but I really wanted to create something that wouldn't be difficult for people to print. Other tools create more beautifully-designed output, but after exploring all of them...I'm right back here. Thanks for posting this.

    Hi Courtney,
    You mentioned in your video that Pages doesn't allow you to input a Hex Color. It does.
    First, you need to select an object to colorize.
    Second, select the Color Wheel.
    Once inside the color selector thingy you have five color selection options at the top of the navigator.
    From left to right, "Color Wheel", "Color Sliders", "Crayons", "Spectrum", and "Colored Pencils".
    Choose the "Color Slider" option. (It's the one to the immediate right of the Color Wheel.) Choose the "RGB" option in the drop-down menu. Once there you will notice a Hex Code option input box about halfway down.
    Voila! Now input your hex code.

    • @naniherdez8867
      @naniherdez8867 17 днів тому

      Add the hex code is only for RGB mode. I don’t know how to use CMYK mode, is the best for color quality for Print. I am sad, I want to use CMKY mode and general and change automatically to RGB 😢😢😢

    • @naniherdez8867

    Thanks Courtney for this useful video!! I just subscribed to your channel! I am new to pages and i was looking for the way to add a background but couldn't find the option to do it, as I didn't know i should have switched the document into a Layout doc. The process is super simple and you gave me super cool tips to create killer PDF pages!!! Thanks heaps!

    Great tutorial Courtney! I typically use MS Publisher to create my worksheets and workbook, just because I learned how to do it as a teenager and it's good to use some old comfort zone skills. However, after this tutorial, I'm definitely considering using pages instead. It looks easier than I thought.
    I mostly create PDFs as optins (worksheets or small ebooks), and a the final deliverable for my signature service.

    Hi Courtney :). I love using apple pages to create with. It’s so much more intuitive than adobe indesign and it’s free! FYI you actually can select a hex code in pages. In the colors panel under the RGB sliders (right next to the color wheel) there is a box where you can select or place your brand hex color. Super helpful!

    Hi Courtney, great video. Thank you for this. I made a training manual using all of these helpful tools, however, when I print the document the bars do not go all the way to the end and the bottom gets cut off. I know this is something to do with the way I am printing it. I have tried everything but wanted to see if you ran into this same issue and if you had any solutions, thanks!

    hey love your energy. had a quick question since its concerning pages... Building a "FORSALE" sign in Pages. Using the pull away number tabs like in the stock template found in Pages. Anybody know how to just duplicate the original cell and phone number and just copy them over to each additional one ?

    Are you using a mouse or just the typical track pad for navigating during this presentation? I'm asking because it seemed effortless and I struggle between deciding if a mouse or track pad works best for me. Otherwise, the video was very informative and I've subscribed to your channel.

    You sound like a designer - at least you know some rules in designing:
    Keep it 'simple' - Use 1 or 2 colours. Even the best designers struggle with 3 or more (my art teachers always say this) Thanks for the tut.
