Zoom a document or view Pages full screen

You can zoom in or out of a document, and view Pages full screen.

Zoom in or out on a document

You might want to enlarge (zoom in) or reduce (zoom out) your overall view of a document. For example, zoom in to focus on fine-tuning the placement of a caption or zoom out to work on the layout of your document.

  1. Choose Pages > Preferences (from the Pages menu at the top of your screen).

  2. Click General, then choose a percentage from the Default Zoom pop-up menu.

View Pages full screen

You can expand the Pages window to fill the entire computer screen.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Click the green button in the top-left corner of the Pages window.

    • Choose View > Enter Full Screen (from the View menu at the top of your screen).

  2. To see the Pages menu bar and other controls, move the pointer to the top of the screen.

  3. To return to regular view, move the pointer to the top of the screen, then click the green button or choose View > Exit Full Screen.
