I would simply like to insert two half-circles or half-moons in a Pages doc. There are no such graphics in the "shapes" area. So, ideas on how I can get those half-circles in my doc?

Question

I would simply like to insert two half-circles or half moons in a Pages doc. The current "shapes" does not include half-circles or half-moons. Ideally, I'd like to be able to apply my colour, lines, etc., etc to these half circles and size them. I am not a graphic artist.

Answer 1

1. Go down to the bottom left corner of the window and increase the zoom to 400%
2. Toolbar > Shapes > Circle
3. Menu > Format > Make Editable > click on the bottom red dot > delete
4. Click on the left side dot, there are two handles which pull out the curves.
5. Drag down a guide from the ruler to the tip of the top of the handle.
6. Click on the bottom handle tip and shift drag it up until it is tucked back into the red dot.
7. Do the same to other corner.
Now keep a copy of this in a document and copy paste where you need it.
