In Word for Mac, you could select multiple words and reformat them all at once. You would select a word or phrases, then hold the command key and drag the cursor on subsequent selections until you had them all, then you could reformat all those selections at the same time, the same way. What is the equivalent command in Pages?
One cannot select multiples of any sentence or paragraph unit in Pages 5 thru 10. Just the way the application is written. It is not a Word clone either, so comparing Word features to Pages omissions is an exercise in frustration.
That is correct. No non-contiguous text selection.
Apple doesn't care, because they are not competing with any third-party word processing application. Pages is really intended for consumers requiring minimal word processing features — and who don't realize there are much better WP solutions out there for minimal to moderate money.
I use Pages every day. When I need proper layout I use Affinity Publisher, and for more serious writing, I stay current with LibreOffice, or maybe even MacTeX.
Pages has no way to make multiple selections for fomatting the same? This is a pretty basic word processing function and if Pages cannot do it, why use the Pages App.? Do you still use Pages or have you switched to a different word processing app?
How can I select multiple-word phrases in Pages?
