“One Up” and “Two Up” Views in Pages

A little-known feature in Apple’s Pages is a “Two Up” page view. The “Two Up” view allows you to see two pages of a document next to each other vertically, so the document appears more like a book. If you are working on a large monitor with smaller-than-normal pages, this feature could be quite useful and increase your productivity.

To switch between the “One Up” (the default) and “Two Up” page views, click on the tiny box at the bottom left of any pages window where the percent-size of the page you are viewing is shown. A small pop-up menu will then allow you to select whether you want “One Up” or “Two Up” view.

From that same menu, you can select “Fit Width” which will resize the pages so they can fit perfectly in your Pages window. This feature works with “One Up” view as well, of course.

    I'm new to Mac after decades in PC, wanted to be able to use CS3 without sitting waiting to grow old while it loaded up. Thrilled with MacBook Pro, but the real discovery for me is Pages 08. I understand that InDesign is much more powerful, but for a freelance writer who doesn't send anything to press, I'm thinking Pages is going to be my preferred program. I was wondering today about how to see facing pages and found your tip. This is a really valuable service. Thank you!
