how to get Christmas stationary in Pages

In Pages v7.3, visit View menu : Customize Toolbar… and on that panel, drag and drop the Send a Copy tool onto your Toolbar before the Format button. Once you have done that, and you click on the Send a Copy tool, Apple Mail will be on that menu, and it will give you a choice of PDF to send as an attachment.

As there is no Stationery functionality in Mojave Mail, you are done with that concept. Instead, create your stationery effect in Pages via background artwork (Arrange menu : Section Masters : Move Objects to Section Master) with reduced opacity so your text will have strong emphasis in the foreground. Save that as a User template, so all you have to do is add your text. Using the first paragraph, Mail your PDF "stationery" to others. This is a word processing document solution, but you can also use the page layout document format as well. You can also incorporate Word templates from the Internet.

As Peter pointed out, sending a Pages document to others, most of whom cannot open it is bad manners.

Google for MS Word Holiday Christmas Stationery template

You can open Word templates in Pages, tweak them, and then save as your own custom Pages templates.

There are Pages templates in the Apple Store, some probably have Christmas designs equally as poor as those in the link.

Hunting around the 'Net you should be able to find Word templates and open those in Pages or construct your own in Pages using the masses of clipart available.

I have no idea of your taste so don't know what you are looking for for yourself.

Has a wide selection.

Mail has its own Stationery.

When you create a message click on the little page like icon at the top right of the window.

Mail Stationery was dropped from Mojave.

Your problem is that hardly anybody can read Pages documents, even on the Mac due to Apple's versioning nightmares. So once you create something you will have to export it to PDF or Word and then drag it into your Mail message.

I'm giving up on Apple. As Apple seems determined to give up on its users. It is depressing walking into an Apple Store now. It is like the Land of Techno Nod. In the Northern Hemisphere being able to warm yourself on your thermally throttled massively overpriced paperweight might be a use... but here in the southern summer I'd have to turn everything off until Autumn before it cooks itself to death.

My first step has been my Android phone. Who knew it could be so easy to find, save and rename files all on your phone! No crazy sending emails back and forth between Mac and Phone!

Next step I am upgrading my PCs and hunting for suitable software. Still looking for a replacement for Pages, but then Apple trashed it on the Mac, so same problem.

Some of these links are dated

this one from 2014.

Mojave OS 10.14.2; Mail 12.2

can you suggest any for the current situation

(where MacMail no longer contains Stationery

and responds poorly to the previous ones

that this link goes to)?

Peter: this was the part of your reply which I found helpful:

"Your problem is that hardly anybody can read Pages documents, even on the Mac due to Apple's versioning nightmares. So once you create something you will have to export it to PDF or Word and then drag it into your Mail message."

Thank you for 'telling it as it is'.

Are you saying that following what you have put out here,

that still then, it would only always only be able to be a

Page document (which can not be opened) -- or is

the procedure you describe, in order to send through

Mail a Pages document that is already open for view by

the receiver?

Ask Santa. If you've been nice, there will be Christmas cards under your template.

Apple Giveth and Apple Taketh away! Typical Apple Reverse Santa.

Don't know what the O.P. is using (as usual).

Have a Happy Christmas!

We are having a really hot one and it is almost over here. :)

And a Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄 back to you.

That wraps up the information nicely.

I get the picture. Thank you.

Not any more: Mail not longer offers Stationery.

It was unfortunately removed as an option

with the Mojave upgrade to Mail 12.2.

I would also like to use stationery for a small

newsletter to friends. Does 10.14.2 OS contain

that option in Pages, and, please:

how to send Pages

creations through MacMail?

No. You need to export the Pages document as a PDF file which can be opened by everyone, but will appear as an attachment to PC users and as a preview of the first page only for Mac users.

Alternatively you can convert the PDF to a jpeg which is not so good for reading the text, but will appear as a visible graphic in most (not all) Mail clients on most Operating Systems.
