View layout markings in Pages on Mac

You can use Layout View to show the faint gray boxes that outline the different text areas of your document—including headers, footers, columns, text boxes, and the document body (the main area of text in the document). This view can help you troubleshoot layout problems.

Show or hide layout markings

  1. Go to the Pages app on your Mac.

  2. Open a document, then do one of the following:

    • Show layout view: Choose View > Show Layout (from the View menu at the top of your screen).

      Note: The View button in the toolbar doesn’t have this command.

    • Hide layout view: Choose Hide Layout (from the View menu at the top of your screen).

      The layout view showing header area and document margins.
