Copying and pasting text in Apple Pages is a fundamental feature that we all use daily. It’s as simple as selecting the text, copying it, and then pasting it where we want it to go. In this article, we’ll show you how to copy formatting in Pages, which is a little different from copying and pasting plain text.
First, let’s go over the basic steps. To copy text in Pages, click at the beginning of the area you want to copy and drag your cursor over the text. Once you’ve highlighted what you need, unclick and you’ll see that the highlighted text continues to hold. To copy this text, click on the ‘Edit’ menu and select ‘Copy’. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut ‘Command + C’.
Next, navigate to where you want to paste the text and click on the ‘Edit’ menu. Select ‘Paste’ or use the keyboard shortcut ‘Command + V’ to paste the copied text. This method is relatively straightforward, and you can repeat it as many times as you need.
If you want to copy formatting in Pages, the process is a little different. Start by highlighting the text you want to copy and then right-click on it. From the context menu, select ‘Copy Style’. This action will copy the formatting of the text instead of the text itself.
Next, select the text where you want to apply the copied formatting and right-click on it. This time, select ‘Paste Style’ from the context menu. The formatting of the original text will be applied to the new text.
In conclusion, copying and pasting text in Pages is a simple process that is essential for productivity. You can use the ‘Copy’ and ‘Paste’ commands or the keyboard shortcuts ‘Command + C’ and ‘Command + V’ to copy and paste text quickly. To copy formatting, use the ‘Copy Style’ and ‘Paste Style’ commands. With these tools, you can easily copy and paste text and formatting in Pages.
