I want to get it just the right size there so it fits across. Now to get it just right I'm going to center it and I'm going to use Command Plus and Command Minus to change the font size. It's important to use Styles for something like this because if we want to change say the font of all the headlines throughout the newsletter if they were all set to one style then we can do that very easily.

I'm going to select it all and then go to Format and I'm going to set the Style to Title. I'm going to snap this here to the guide and stretch it across and type some text. Let's start with the headline at the top of this newsletter. Now we've got everything set so we can start our layout. So let's say we'll do 4.1 for the right side of the left column and we will do 4.4 for the right side there. A two column layout would put the middle at 4 1/4 here. We're going to do a two column layout here. Adding guides like this is going to make it much easier to do what we need. It's hard to get it perfect but you can and a 1/2 inch here on the right. We're going to be doing 1/2 inch margins so I'm going to add a 1/2 inch here on the left.

We want to add some guides so we can see where we're doing layouts. It's a 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper which is what we want. Let's expand the window a little bit so we can see that we've got the edges. Now we're going to go under View and Show Rulers. That will convert it to a Page Layout document. Now the first thing we're going to do is we're going to go into Document and then turn off Document Body. So let's start with Blank and we have our Pages document here. Let's say you wanted to do something like this but starting from scratch. So in the template you can see near the bottom some examples of some layouts.
