Chapter 1 Overview of Pages 23
You can set the zoom level used when you open a document by choosing Pages >
Preferences, clicking General, and choosing a zoom level from the Default Zoom pop-
up menu.
Document Page Views
To choose a way to view document pages in the Pages window:
1 Click the Page View control in the bottom-left corner of the window.
2 Choose one of the page view options:
 One Up presents the pages above and below each other.
 Two Up presents two pages side-by-side on the screen.
 Fit Width scales the document to the width of the window. You can stretch the
Pages window to fill your screen, or make it short or narrow.
 Fit Page causes a single document page to fill the window.
Layout View
In layout view you can see the outlines of the different text areas of your document,
including headers, footers, fixed text boxes, column widths, and the document body—
the main area of text in the document. With layout view turned on, document rulers
and alignment guides become visible. See “Rulers and Alignment Guides” on page 26.
To see layout view:
m Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Layout (or choose View > Show Layout).
When you type in the document body, the text automatically flows onto the next
page. Other text areas, such as text boxes, do not expand; they remain a fixed size and
width.
In the following example, you can see the page layout includes two columns at the
top, two layout breaks, and then three columns, an inline image, and the footer area.
