Step 1: Open Pages
First, make sure you have the Pages application open on your Mac. You can find it in your Applications folder or by searching for it using Spotlight.
Step 2: Open the Document/Page
Next, open the document or page where you want to highlight the text. If you don’t have an existing document, create a new one by clicking on “File” in the menu bar, selecting “New,” and then choosing “Blank Document.”
Step 3: Select the Text
Now, locate the text you want to highlight. Click and drag your cursor over the text to select it. You can highlight individual words, phrases, or even entire paragraphs.
Step 4: Choose the Highlight Color
Once you have selected the text, navigate to the top menu bar and click on “Format.” A dropdown menu will appear – select “Highlight.” Here, you will see a variety of color options. Choose the highlight color that suits your preferences.
Step 5: Apply the Highlight
After selecting the desired highlight color, click on it. The text you previously selected will now be highlighted in that color.
Step 6: Adjust Highlight Color Transparency (Optional)
If you prefer a more subtle highlight, you can adjust the transparency of the color. In the “Highlight” dropdown menu, move your cursor over the “Transparency” option. Another dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to select the desired level of transparency.
Step 7: Save and Share
Once you’re satisfied with the highlighting, save your document by clicking on “File” in the menu bar and selecting “Save.” Don’t forget to share your highlighted document with others if needed!
Highlighting text on Pages is a straightforward process for Mac users. By following these steps, you can easily emphasize important information or make your documents more visually appealing. Happy highlighting!
