Two 'standard' methods:


1: Go File (menu) > Print


If you are in Full Screen mode, and cannot see the menu bar, you can show it by pressing control-command-F.

(control-command-F is a toggle, which will enter Full Screen if it is currently OFF or exit Full Screen if it is currently ON.)

( pressing esc will also exit Full Screen)


2: Press command-P to open the Print dialogue.


This keystroke shortcut is independent of whether the display is Full Screen or Normal.


Regards,

Barry

Do you not have a Pages menu bar with a File menu on it at the top of the screen? If that is too far to reach, then View menu : Customize Toolbar… and drag/drop the printer icon onto the Pages toolbar. Then click that.


Also, this is a open, public support community that can be seen by anyone with Google, as they archive these pages. Let's hope that the contact information in your labels is not you, because you have just opened up that contact information to a blizzard of SPAM.

Pages 8.0 on macOS Mojave 10.14.5.



Are you running Pages in full-screen mode, but only bothered to capture what you have shown? If true, then move your mouse pointer upward and bump it into the top of the monitor to get the menu bar. Otherwise, Pages does not give one the option of hiding the application menu bar, though it could be temporarily replaced by another application's menu bar if that application were currently active.

There are only a few things to learn. Generally (not always) macOS is pretty consistent.


There is always the Menubar at the top of the screen with the same basic well labelled menus, worth reading them and familiarising yourself as to what is in them.


Full screen is a relatively recent option and in virtually every App, designed to give more screen real estate for Laptop users. Esc always gets you out of it, and you can always see it by mousing to the top, just as you can always see the Dock at the bottom, if it is hidden, by mousing to it.


Everything, from the Mac itself represented by the , has a mostly similar and familiar set of menus top left of your screen. The Information and Preferences for whatever you are in (/Finder/Apps) are in the Object's menu.


Standard Menus are Apple / App / File / Edit / View/ Window / Help in that order, with others as necessary.


The menu titles are exactly what they say and because you Print your file it is under the File Menu.


Most things work from the large down to the smaller details, left to right, top to bottom.


If you pay attention to these basics you'll learn the rest soon enough. I won't overlead you with more details, but feel to ask when you hit something else, Apple has been losing the plot lately and been hiding stuff they shouldn't.
