Hello fellow appleis users. I was wondering wher I could go for lessons on editing sellecting text on the mac to create doccuments on pages and text eddit. I have found that the more I practice and learn to write and move arround in doccuments the mor I want to be getting in to formating and edditing text. Is there a podcast that applevis has that focuses on this kind of stuff. i would like to learn all I can on the mac concerning pages.
Thanks.

The AppleVis Podcast has an episode introducing and demonstrating some of Pages' functions, and there are also several guides that cover more advanced formatting topics:
