44 Chapter 2 Creating a Document Using the Pages Templates
Images can be cropped, resized, and rotated. Fixed images can be grouped, which
makes it easy to reposition and resize several graphics that you want to keep together.
You can also layer graphics, adjust their opacity, and add shadows to create
interesting visual effects. Images can also be masked (cropped) so that only part of
the image is visible on the page. For more information about working with images,
see Chapter 6, “Working With Graphics and Other Media.” To learn about adjusting
shadows and opacity, see Chapter 7, “Changing Object Properties.”
To learn about adding shapes, tables, and charts, see “Adding Shapes, Tables, and
Charts” on page 125.
Adding Web and Email Addresses
You can create active hyperlinks to web addresses (URLs) and email addresses. When
you click a web link, it opens a web browser and displays the webpage you specify.
When you click an email address, it opens an email program and creates a new email
message. You can also create bookmarks that let you jump to a specific word or phrase
in your document. For specific instructions about creating hyperlinks and bookmarks,
see “Adding Hyperlinks and Bookmarks” on page 141.
Positioning Text and Graphics
Pages provides several tools to help you position text, images, and other objects on
the page, so you can achieve the design you want. Alignment guides appear in some
templates—or you can create your own—to align fixed objects anywhere on a page.
Rulers display page measurements in inches, centimeters, points, or picas, so you can
easily tell where you are placing an object.
Pages also displays position tags that indicate the X and Y coordinates of an object’s
top-left corner as you move the object around the page, or the object’s angle as you
rotate it. When you resize an object, size tags appear, displaying the object’s height
and width.
Rulers
You can show rulers to help you position objects on the page. Rulers indicate how far
an object is from the top of the page and the left edge of the page.
To show rulers:
m Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Rulers (or choose View > Show Rulers).
