Pages (word processor)

Pages is a word processor and page layout application developed by Apple Inc. It is part of the iWork productivity suite, which also includes Keynote (for presentations) and Numbers (for spreadsheets). Pages is available for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, and also accessible via iCloud on web browsers.

Pages allows users to create a variety of documents, including letters, reports, brochures, posters, and books. It features a range of templates to help users get started, as well as tools for formatting text, inserting images, creating tables and charts, and adding multimedia elements.

A key characteristic of Pages is its focus on design and ease of use. While possessing the functionality expected of a modern word processor, it is often praised for its intuitive interface and emphasis on visual presentation. Pages allows users to work in either a word-processing or page-layout mode, providing flexibility for creating both text-heavy documents and visually rich publications.

Pages supports collaboration features, allowing multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously. Changes made by collaborators are displayed in real-time, facilitating efficient teamwork.

The file format used by Pages is typically .pages. It also supports importing and exporting documents in other common formats such as .docx (Microsoft Word), .pdf, and .rtf.
