- [Instructor] It's time now to explore…some of the basics of working with a Pages document,…opening, editing, saving, and closing a document.…Let's do that first by relaunching Pages.…I'm going to go to the dock to select it from there.…From the dialog now, we can navigate…to the Chapter One Folder of the exercise files…where we find Leaf and Mortar Bio.…It's a Pages document.…With it selected, we can now click open,…and we'll be opening that document.…So here we see a logo at the top,…the company bio down below, and team members…at Leaf and Mortar.…
So it's a multiple page document.…We can scroll through with our mouse…or use the scroll bar, however you like.…If we make a change to this document,…I want you to see what happens up here in the title.…Notice Leaf and Mortar Bio, Pages document…appears with a little dropdown arrow,…but as soon as we come in here,…and let's say we wanted to center Company Bio,…just select it, and now going over to the Inspector…with the Format tab selected,…we can see text down below.…
