Difficulty Level: Beginner
Requirements: Any Mac operating system with Apple Pages installed
Before we begin, we would like you to know that this tutorial is made on a Macbook Pro running Mac OS X El Capitan (version 10.11.6), with the assistance of Apple Pages (version 5.0.1). If you are using the latest Mac OS – High Sierra, there would be slight difference in terms of user interface, but in general most features in Pages would work the same way.
Step 1: Launch Pages from Applications
Line spacing of text ( not paragraph spacing ) Adjust how much space appears between lines of text ( not paragraph spacing ). The line spacing size must greater than the font size. Remove All Empty Paragraphs. Remove all empty paragraphs; Remove all extra empty paragraphs, and keep one only. Remove all indents; Hide/Show Page Date Time. OneNote Online: If you're curious about how to remove double spacing on Onenote Online just highlight the text, go to the Home tab, select a different style in the Styles menu and then select back to the 'normal' style. It will clear the formatting back to single spaced 0.
Open the Apple Pages app located in your Applications folder. You will be greeted with the following window. If you don’t see this window, go to your top menu bar and select File > New… (or use the shortcut Cmd+N).
At the left sidebar, navigate to the Stationery tab, scroll down to the Resume section at the main column, then pick a resume template that you like. We selected the Modern Resume template for this guide.
Step 2: Replace the Resume with Your Details
By default, the Pages template is pre-populated with dummy info. Go ahead and replace all the dummy details with your own information. If you need help with your resume’s content, check out the resume writing service offered by our professional resume writers.
For starters, you can remove categories you don’t need by selecting it and hit on the Delete key. To add more categories such as Awards (or Accomplishments), the best way is to copy and paste from another category to retain its formatting.
One downside to this template is that it lists out your work experience as a chunk of long-winding paragraphs. Ideally you would want to avoid doing this as recruiters can be put off by it.
If you had an extensive job scope for your previous job, split them up using bullet points. To add bullet points in Pages, go to the Bullets & Lists feature located at the right sidebar, then click on the dropdown option next to it and select Bullet.
You can also adjust the spacing between lines and paragraphs by changing the values here:
Here’s how our sample resume looks like after replacing the contents with that of a fictional person:
Step 3 (optional): Change fonts and colors to match your style
This modern resume template from Apple Pages uses Avenir Next as the default font. If you are feeling adventurous, you could also play around with different font styles.
We switched up the Headings and Subheadings with a serif font – Baskerville. We also removed the squares next to the name as it do not add any real value to the resume.
Here’s how our final sample resume looks in Pages:
Step 4: Save and Export Resume
Done? Double check your resume for spelling and grammatical errors. Pro tip: read your resume out loud to spot obvious mistakes such as the misuse of “then” or “than”, “your” or “you’re” etc.
If everything is correct, click on Command+S (shortcut for Save) on your keyboard to save your Pages file or go to File > Save… .
Since you might be using this resume to apply for jobs (we hope), go to top menu again and select File > Export to > PDF… in order to export the Pages file as PDF.
In the pop-up window, you can choose to have Good, Better, or Best image quality for your PDF export. We always go with the Best option so that the PDF looks good on print too.
Congratulations! You are all set to deliver your homemade PDF resume to interviewers and hiring managers. We hope that you learned how to make your first resume on Mac using Apple Pages after reading this tutorial.

The post How to Create a Resume in Apple Pages [Mac] appeared first on Resumeshoppe.com.
Last week, one of our community members on the OneNote fan page on Facebook asked a great question:
“How do you double space an article you pasted into OneNote? For the life of me, I can’t find an option for that and since it is a legal cite and court opinion, it would be easier to read if I can double space it.”
While many of us simply use the ENTER key between lines of text to create more space, imported text whose lines you don’t want to manually break apart is indeed better formatted with double or custom line spacing. This way, the text is always properly spaced the way you want it, even when you resize its note container.
The Paragraph Spacing Options command is one of the few features in OneNote that has only a single entry point, which can be accessed only on the ribbon. It’s therefore often overlooked.
Follow these steps:
- In OneNote 2010, select the text whose paragraph spacing you want to adjust. To select all text within a note container, press CTRL+A (repeatedly, if necessary) until all of the text you want is selected.
- On the Home tab, click the Paragraph Alignment button.
- On the menu that appears, click Paragraph Spacing Options.
In the Paragraph Spacing dialog box that opens, enter the spacing values (in points) that you want.
Why is nothing happening when I enter a custom value?
OneNote isn’t a word processor, so the values in the Paragraph Spacing dialog box work a little differently than they do in Microsoft Word and other programs. For example, if you were to type a 2 into any of the three boxes (with the intention that the value of 2 doubles the current single-line spacing), nothing would happen to the spacing of your text. That’s because you need to enter the total number (in points) for both the current font size and its intended line spacing (in typography, this is called leading).
The default text formatting in OneNote 2010 is 11-point Calibri, which means entering a 2 won’t do anything to increase this base number. However, anything over 11 will begin to show an increase in the space between your lines of text.
How do I precisely double-space my text?
If you haven’t changed the default font from Calibri and the default font size from 11, you can enter the number 27 into the Line spacing at least box to exactly double-space this font and size combination. If you’re using another font or font size, simply experiment a bit until you get the spacing just the way you want.
To discard a result you don’t want and to start over, use the Undo command on the Quick Access Toolbar (or just press CTRL+Z).
How do I use the Before and After values?
The values for the Before and After boxes in the Paragraph Spacing dialog box work the same as I mentioned earlier. However, their behavior may lead to more puzzling results, depending on the formatting of your text.
Unlike Word, which lets you show hidden paragraph marks in your selected text, OneNote has no such option. If certain lines of text in your selection are formatted with soft line breaks (SHIFT+ENTER), then OneNote treats the text as part of the same paragraph. In this case, spacing is affected only before or after the entire block (paragraph) of text — either before or after a hard paragraph return (ENTER).
If you’re commonly in the habit of pressing ENTER between short lines of text in your notes, OneNote will consider each line to be a separate paragraph and therefore apply the line spacing you entered in the Before and/or After boxes. This will then have similar results as entering the same value into the Line spacing at least box.
I mention this because you may not always be aware how imported text was originally formatted at the source. If the result from values you enter in the Paragraph Spacing dialog box doesn’t quite match your expectations, simply try other values until you reach the result you want.
If you don’t seem to be having any luck with your particular selection of text, try to change one value at a time. If necessary, undo it (even if nothing seemed to happen) and then try another value. Experimenting with all three values at once in the Paragraph Options dialog box may make things more confusing until you get the hang of each of the three spacing options.
Can I really not see where my paragraph breaks are?
Although there is no explicit Show/Hide Formatting command in OneNote like there is in Word, OneNote 2010 does drop a little hint about where it considers a new paragraph to begin. To see this, move the mouse pointer over the left margin of any of your text lines and look for a 4-headed arrow icon to appear next to certain lines of text.
This little icon lets you do all kinds of clever things (most of which are documented in my new book for OneNote beginners), but simply revealing the icons by moving the mouse over your text will show you where the underlying paragraph marks are. To create a new line break within text, press CTRL+ENTER. To create a new hard paragraph, press ENTER within your text.
