The Toolbar
The Pages toolbar gives you one-click access to many of the actions you’ll use when
working with documents. As you work in Pages and get to know which actions you
perform most often, you can add, remove, and rearrange toolbar buttons to suit your
working style.
To see a description of what a button does, hold the pointer over the button.
