Does Pages have a text view?

I like Pages, but I don't want to see the paper margins and page breaks, I just want to see the text. I hate to mention Word, but it lets me switch between text view and print view. Can I do this in Pages?
thanks

Choose "Hide Layout" from the View menu or toolbar icon. Layout is hidden by default on all new from templates or "foreign" files.

Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

With online layout you can have the page of your document fill up as much of the screen as you want while being able to zoom the viewing of your text or words to any percentage you want. In pages, I can zoom or stretch the document to fit the full width of the screen, but the view the actual text or words themselves correspondingly enlarges as well.

Does DW have a "Navigation View" ?

Does DW have a "Navigation View" that shows all of the site pages in hierarchical order with the links as did MS Front page?

I appreciate your replies; the "Site-Map" extension looks interesting and useful, I did download and install it.
Apples and oranges.
It is good to find some extensions;; I am getting closer BUT this is not quite what I am looking for. I reinstalled MS Front Page 2003 to remind myself how the "Navigation View" functions. Under the "View" menu are various ways to look at the website and its components; folders, files, hyperlinks etcetera. When you click "Navigation" you get a graphic view that shows all of the pages and the hierarchical structure of the website. This can be viewed in either landscape or portrait modes; you can drag pages around to arrange the links and their order. I will attempt to show what the "Navigation View" looks like. I want an D.W. extension that works like this. Thanks all. It is difficult for me going from MS Front page to Dream Works, to bad they killed it. BTW, this forum is nicely outfitted, I am glad to have found it, thanks for any input and answers. riverlynx

Does pages have a template for a calendar?

Does pages have a template for a calendar? I am the editor of a church newsletter and I want to include a calendar of events.

I've just tested those Word calendars.
Because Word actually has a calendar format built-in, most of those templates will not open cleanly in Pages.
You can use some of the tabbed text, after you copy it out of the tables and reformat it into a new table in Pages but there will be extra steps involved.

Does Pages have any clip art?

I am trying out Pages after having used Word for last five years or so, but I am finding it very frustrating when it comes to clip art.
Does Pages come with any clip art? Is there any clip art out there especially for Pages?
Word has a lot of clip art and a very useful web page that works very smoothly with the Clip Art Gallery; Does Pages have anything similar?
Any help would be appreciated.

Muz- I understand your approach. If you have access to both Word and Pages, maybe you could use the occasional Word clipart as an image inside Pages. I find Pages far simpler than Word when it comes to interating images into a body of text.
Hybrid solutions are no good, though. From within Pages, you can click "Pages, Provide pages Feedback" and request clipart in a future version. Good luck.

I am a writer who recently moved from the PC world and purchased a MacBook Air. I love the Air. However, I use MS Word extensively. I am use to the extensive grammar settings in Word. Does Pages have anything that robust? I can't find it. Thanks.

Does Pages have the robust grammar settings that MS Word has? I can't find them. Word identifies run-on sentences, possessives and plurals, subject-verb disagreement, passive voice, split infinitives, contractions, excessively wordy sentences, etc. Does Pages have those capablities? If not and I buy MS Word for mac, does it perform well on the Mac?

If you would like to check out what sorts of issues people have with MS Word for Mac, you can have a look a the forum run by MS for that:

HT4641 Does pages have a document password protection function

Does pages have a password protection function since adobe PDF for IPhone3gs or IPad2 does not?

If you were to think laterally about this, you could also create encrypted archives for just those folders or files you were interested in to minimise the possible harm. Similar to the disk images Magnus suggested, but slightly less trouble. Modern Macs are very fast at unarchiving these files so you can work on them then archive them again without too much trouble.
I am a great fan of those tiny USB harddrives and thumbdrives, which easily slip into your pocket so you can take them with you.
My backup consists of a set of three 4Gb USB thumbdrives for my documents and 3 differently colored USB harddrives for my larger material.
If your work is on these, you simply detach them from your computer and keep them locked up or on your person.
Nobody will be able to access those without bailing you up.
… And of course you can use a combination of any and all of the above suggestions.

As of July 31, 2012, you will no longer be able to access your documents on the iWork.com site or view them on the web.
Now use iCloud instead: http://www.apple.com/icloud/
However, you must have an Apple device to create an iCloud account so Windows only users need to get to one before accessing your files.
About iCloud Control Panel for Windows v1.1
The iCloud Control Panel is required to use Photo Stream, Mail, Contacts and Calendars (Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later required) and Bookmarks (Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later required).
Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later.
System Requirements
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7
Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later
Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 recommended

Does pages have a Romanian language corrector?

does pages have a Romanian language corrector?

Spellcheck is done by the OS and not by the app. OS X has no spellcheck for Romanian, but you might be able to add it. See

Does Pages have a mirror margin option in formatting?

Does Pages have the formatting option called Mirror Margin?

We have no idea because we don't know what version of Pages you are using.
In Pages '08/'09 Inspector > Document > Document > Document Margin > check Facing Pages and adjust the inside/ouside margins
In Pages 5, no because Apple has removed this along with 100 other features.

Does Pages have the feature I am looking for? Or does TextEdit (i hope so)

hello! I was looking for a specific wordpad function, and was hoping that Apple's TextEdit program had such a feature.
What I am looking for, is the ability to insert the equivalent of one of those little triangles that point to the right, indicating that there is expandable content if clicked (which would of course reveal the content underneath what followed the triangle, which would than be pointing downward). You know, very much like how you view a finder window in 'list view'.
I would love to have those expandable/collapsable triangles for lists I set up in TesxtEdit. This function would also work well for writing paper outlines, or organizing information under various topic headings, so I could enter notes and content under each heading's dropdown area of text, and than collapse it to minimize the cluttering of my document.
Does TextEdit have a feature that provides the same kind of result? If not, does anyone know of any program that has a feature like this? I currently have been employing TextEdit for my needs running Tiger, so please fill me in on any features that TextEdit under Leopard might have that would get me to my desired goal.
Thanks!!!!!

No, you are describing a form of Outlining that Pages does not do neither does TextEdit nor any other text editor I know of.
OmniOutliner does however do this:

Pages' Outline feature does something similar but without the little rotating arrow.

Does pages have a search feature on documents

Does pages offer a search feature for documents. If I have a document and want to search for a specific word or phrase how can this be done?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try a Spotlight search?
If you've never used it, Spotlight is the 'sort of magnifying glass' icon at the upper right corner of the top menu bar.
Click on the Spotlight icon.
In the box that opens, type in your search term(s), a space, and .pages, and click on Show All
Spotlight will open a Finder window.
You can refine your search results including where to search This Mac or "Desktop" for example, and whether searching for Contents (words or strings embedded within documents) or Filename.
Now you can choose a document from the results displayed.
Clicking on a filename and pressing the space bar lets you view the document without actually opening the program that created it.
You can control what kinds of documents are/are not indexed by selecting  from the top menu bar, then System Preferences, Personal, Spotlight.

Does thunderbird have a quick view feature like windows live mail?

This feature provides a view of all emails in all of the inboxes for all the email addresses.

''Sorry, confused this thread with a different question!''
As far as I can tell, Thunderbird does not have a built-in "AutoPreview" feature which can show the beginning of the message body in the inbox.
There may be a tooltip when you hover over the line in the Inbox, but that is a lot slower than having the text there automatically.
The text may appear in a notification pane pop up that shows your newest messages, but that is transitory and doesn't help for older messages.
So, I guess you would need an extension to add this, if such an extension exists.
