Pages rather than MS Publisher

I want to print 4 to a page postcards (horizontal layout) in .pages. How do I do this? I can do this in MS Publisher but would like to do this on my MacBook Pro with Maverick. Thanks.

Drag the image into the page after selecting Portrait Blank, resize. Do this for all 4 images and your right to go.

I did this in 1 Minute

This is good, but I am only partly successful. Usually my 4 up postcards are centered text possibly with a logo image. I made this in a table in MS Publisher and tried to copy it into Pages. When I do this, the tables resize so that it is difficult to place the 4 tables in the proper space. Each postcard (This is done on card stock.) is 4.25 x 5.5 inches since this is done on a landscape 8.5 x 11 inch card stock. Does Pages have a template for a 4 up landscape postcard or is there another Mac product that has templates? Thanks.

A label-making app is probably going to be your best bet. Labels & Addresses lets you pick a pre-defined template or set a custom one, then insert any graphics or text as you like, as well as insert addresses from your contacts if desired. It's very robust in what it can do.

There are templates available for Pages if you are using Avery's products.

And there are a number of template add on applications for Pages in the Mac App Store. Most are less than $10 and several are free. Browse around until you find something you like. As suggested, the Avery templates are likewise free.

A good one for Labels is this one. 186 Templates

I agree, their templates are top notch. I have their template package for MS Office 2011 and it's great.

And they have great support and update regularly.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I had trouble searching the App Store to find what I wanted until I put in Templates for Pages. That was a great idea. Thanks.

I am wondering if I need to update what I have. I have Pages 2008 and Office for Mac 2008. What do you think?

Its worth it, but depends on your Operating System . . I see you have Mavericks, so YES get the Latest as they just had a major update yesterday.
