HT3387 does pages have a word count facility ?

Can anyone tell me if pages has a word count facility please

Cruise,
Yes, Pages displays a Word Count. You will see it in the lower left corner of the Pages window, and in the Document Inspector, Info tab.

  • Does Pages have a word space control?

    In editing book pages with fixed left and right margins, word space sometimes is very uneven. Can I control this?

    Have you tried the Text Inspector? (Sorry about the tool tip in the pic below.)

  • 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:

  • 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 mac have a word and excel equivalent or do I need to use Windows for Mac and get the software separately?

    Mac has Pages and Numbers, which are mostly compatible with word and excel.   Both are available in the App Store for $20 each.
    You can also buy Microsoft's office for Mac suite. 

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I am writing a dissertation, which I have to send to my university in Word format.  In Pages the current word count is given as 12,000, but when opened in Word on another laptop (not a Mac) the word count was 9,000. How do I know which is correct?

    Is the word count in Pages inclusive of footnotes?

    Sounds like you have a lot of counting to do. Lol jk; I'd test with a new doc with 5 words and see which one gets it right. if they're the same; add footnotes to one and see which one says what. Just standard process of elimination.

  • Does Pages have the facility for UK English in Dictionary or Spelling Checker?

    Does Pages offer a facility for UK English in Dictionary or Spelling Checker?

  • 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.
