FAQs

How do I start creating a book in Apple Pages?

You first choose between a portrait or landscape template as a starting point.

What is a Portrait template?

These templates are most suited for books that contain large text, such as novels, reports, and journals, because they allow text to conform to multiple device sizes and reflow when a reader adjusts the font size on their computer.

What is a landscape template in Apple Pages?

Page layout documents in landscape mode are ideal for books with a lot of photos or content arranged in columns because the layout of each page is preserved no matter what device the reader uses—the text does not flow easily from one page to the next unless linked text boxes are used.

How do you add content to your book using Apple Pages?

You can add content to your book using Placeholders, which shows you how a book produced with this template might look when its text and object styles are used.

How do you make your book available?

You may publish your book to Apple Books right from Pages to make it accessible for purchase or download.
