I just want to type on a plain piece of paper. I want to type several pages. I go to Pages and the blank paper has a text box around my type and only lets me type 400 words. How do I expand?

I want to type several pages of text. I go to Pages and it puts a text box around my text and only allows 400 words. How do I get unlimited paper? Thanks in advance.

On the introductory window, also make sure you pick from the top choices under Word Processing - I just use "Blank". If you choose the Blank under the sedon set (page layout), you will have to get a text box. I use that setting if I have a lot of images I want to insert and then have text around/near the images.


See my screenshot here:

When you're done with that page, it should automatically move to the next one or you can choose another blank page in the pulldown in the toolbar.
