Pages for the iPad is a simple way to create documents; just because it's simple doesn't mean you can't create professional looking documents. Pages even comes with templates to make professional documents with little effort-unfortunately, the templates are limited; if you want to get the most from Pages, then you need to understand how to find and use the advance features of Pages.

This book is broken into three parts. The first part is about the basic features of Pages: what they do and when to use them. The second part will be more hands on; you will create a document from scratch and learn how to insert backgrounds, manipulate graphics, embed text into graphics, and much more. The last part will briefly look at templates.

This book is for beginning users; it assumes you have no knowledge of Pages. The point of it is to give you a crash course on the basic features of Pages as quickly as possible, so you will be ready to create powerful documents on the go.

This edition was revised 4/16/10 and now includes five new chapters.
