Depends on what equipment you have.


Do you have a printer?

Have you installed the driver software for that printer on your MC?

Have you connected the printer to the computer

Directly, using the appropriate cable?

Wirelessly using WiFi or Bluetooth?


If those steps are covered, and your printer has ink, you're ready to print.


Turn on the printer.


In Pages, open the document you want to print.

Press command-P to open the Print dialogue


In the Print dialogue:


Yours may differ from mine, as some of the menus depend on the Printer's options, and others depend on the version of Pages you are using and the version of macOS installed on your computer.


First thing to check is the number of pages (eleven in the example above).

If there are more (or fewer) than you thought, click cancel and check the number in your document.


The menu showing "Pages" is set to show the three choices below that menu.

Clicking "Pages" shows a list of other types of settings, each of which shows several options.



Explore the various menus to see if there are any you want to (or need to) change.

Most of them will NOT need to be changed for every print run, but may have to change if you are printing to a different size of paper, a different weight of paper, or a different type of paper (eg. glossy or matte photo paper).


If your printer supports Duplex (Two-sided) printing, you'll have a choice of printing on one or both sides of each sheet.

You will likely have a choice of paper size, with a default size of US Letter or A$, depending on your location.


When you have the settings set to your choices, you may want to print a test page.

Click on the From button, then enter 1 in both boxes to print only the first page (or 6 and 6 to print only the sixth page of your document), then examine the result for any issues indicating you need to clean the printhead or replace an ink cartridge. (Directions for those procedures will be in the manual that came with the printer, and might also be found on the printer itself.


If your test print is good, switch you Print: choice to All Pages, and click Print.

Barry

Hi Riyad,


I'm not sure how well auto spelling correct works in Spanish, but it's certainly not perfect in English.


I would recommend turning on 'check spelling while typing, but not turning on automatically correct spelling.


With those settings, the spell check will put a dotted red line under a 'word' that is not in its spelling dictionary for the active language, but won't automatically 'correct' the spelling of that 'word'. You can pause and see what the spell check 'thinks is the correct spelling by pressing the control key and clicking trhe word.


OPr, you can turn check spelling off, do your writing without the distraction, then, when you've finished or are taking a break, activate the spell checker and go through the document watching for the dotted red underscore, and do the corrections then.


REgards,

Barry
