Using Text Boxes, Shapes, and Other Effects to Highlight Text
Callouts and sidebars are used to make text stand out from the main body of text in a
document. Pages offers many ways to emphasize text:
Adding text to text boxes

Adding a background (or

fill color) to paragraphs
Adding borders and rules to text
Â
Formatting text in columns
Â
Typing text in shapes
Â
You can also use table cells to hold callouts. To read about working with tables, see
