Neither one of these will let you automatically use page numbers because Pages "sees" each page & you actually have 2 pages per page.Ĭocoa Booklet. When you have your text done, cut all of the text in the first column (upper left), insert a column break after the last character on the now lower left column & paste the cut text after it in the now lower right column. Just type or paste your text in as normal, starting in the upper left. For this one you will use the body text area. You will now have 4 linked text boxes.ġb - Start as in 1a creating a 2-page document with 2 columns in landscape orientation. Repeat for a box for the upper right & again for the lower right. Click on the blue-outlined tab at the lower right of the text box to create a new of the same size & move the box to the upper left. It is easier to see where it goes if you have the document set up with 2 columns. You can now position the first text box in the lower right of your 2-page document. You will now need to click outside the layout again & drag the cursor toward the text box to select it. If you already have some text to paste in you can just paste while in object mode & a text box containing your text will be created. This is to keep the box from disappearing if you click elsewhere & the text can be replaced later. Now click outside the layout area to enter object mode & click the "T" in the tool bar or Insert > Text to create a text box & type something in it. Click in the body area & then Insert > Page Break. First you need to add a page break to have two pages. This is easier done with the layout showing. In Pages 3 or 4, use the page layout mode for #s 1a & 1b.ġa - Use linked text boxes. The first two involve setting your Pages document in File > Page Setup… to landscape orientation. These are instructions I wrote quite some time ago & I've updated them periodically. I'm not sure how "easy" it is for others, but for me it is.
