Pages ’08 provides detailed statistical information about the documents you’re writing.
To access document statistics:
- Click the Inspector button in the toolbar to display an Inspector window (if one isn’t already open).
- Click the Document Inspector button in the upper-left corner of the Inspector window.
- Click the Info button to reveal the Info pane.
In the middle section of the pane, Pages indicates the number of words, pages, lines, paragraphs, sections, graphics, and characters in your document.
Although earlier versions of the application provided statistics for the entire document only, Pages ’08 also lets you get statistics for sections of a document.
To obtain stastics for a section of your document:
- Select a range of text for which you’d like such statistical data as a word or character count.
- Click the Inspector button in the toolbar to display an Inspector window.
- Click the Info button in the Document Inspector. Pages ’08 displays statistics for the words, pages, lines, paragraphs, sections, graphics, and characters in the selected text.
