Bug: pressing backspace to delete a word in Pages for iOS automatically deletes space before word

Hi guys,
When I delete a word in Pages for iOS 7 character-by-character, the deletion automatically includes the space before the word, even if I don't initiate a keypress for that space. This is sporadic in that it consistently occurs in some sections of text (usually at the end of lines) and not in others, in paragraphs with custom Styles and in paragraphs with default Styles alike.
If the bug happened consistently, I could probably by habit overcome this extra deletion. However, since it does not happen in every circumstance, it's unpredictable and as such very disruptive to my workflow.
This occurs in new documents with no formatting. I've also tried Resetting All Settings, restoring the app through the Settings menu, and deleting and re-downloading the app from the App Store. It occurs both when I use my Bluetooth wireless keyboard (Logitech) and when I use the iPad Mini's OS keyboard.
I really don't want to restore my entire iPad just to fix this problem, as I think it's an app-based bug (the problem does not happen at all in any other text app).
This Pages version is 1.7.2, and I'm using iOS 7.0.2 on an iPad Mini WiFi only.
Could anyone with a similar setup try this out? I can't be the only one...right?

I am experiencing this as well. In another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5374836) it appears someone contacted support about it and was told this is expected behavior.
For me, this will cause me to stop using Pages. It's extremely aggravating.

How to delete pix/albums in iPhoto for iOS.?

I created two Journals in iPhoto for iOS.
When uploading to the iCloud I constantly run into "Storage almost full" problems. I have already deleted many apps to create space, but iPhoto seems to consistently grow in size (iPad > Settings>General> Usage: 6.8GB for iPhoto), worse yet, when publishing the Journals which are on the iPad it seems that additional space is needed for the publishing process.
I did NOT find a way to delete either Pictures or Albums in the iPhoto for iOS app, nor do I find a way to delete Photos and Camera in Settings, nor (individual or a range of) Photos or Albums in the Photos app. In the Photos tab of the Photos app there is a red Delete button, but this is greyed out; in the Albums tab this Delete button does not appear at all.
Any advice/suggestion/pointer would be highly appreciated. Thanks and cheers from Austria.

See this:
iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Delete photos from iPhoto
Basically, you have to delete the photos the same way you got them onto the iPad in the first place.
In the Photos.app, you should be able to delete photos in the camera roll and in the events that have been uploaded using the camera connection kit, but no other.
Any synced photo can only be deleted by syncing again.
For Photos that have been edited, you need to undo all edits, before you can delete them, otherwise the delete button will not be active.
Albums created by tagging cannot be deleted, they are created automatic. You delete these albums by removing the tags from the photos. Then the album will vanish.

Any idea, Eventid for Subnet creation\deletion in AD? Eventid for Site creation\deletion in AD?

Any idea, Eventid for Subnet created\deleted in AD? Eventid for Site created\deleted in AD?

If you just want to know when those sites and subnets have been created, you can just look at their whenCreated attributes. If you want to track subnet and site creation in real time, you need to enable the audit.
Enabling the audit consists of two steps:
Enabling the audit of the category of your choice. If you are using the
old way to performing auditing, it is the category Audit directory service access. If you are using the
advanced auditing (available since Windows Server 2008 and higher versions, more granular) you have two options. The category DS Access/Audit Directory Service Access and/or DS
Access/Audit Directory Changes. The first one generate the same eventid for creation and deletion: 4662. The second one have an eventid for the creation: 5137 and one for the deletion: 5141
These audit settings need to be applied on the domain controllers therefore you can do that through a group policy link at the appropriate level.
You need to configure the
SACL of the resources you want to audit. And tell you want to catch child object creation and child object deletion. I believe this is already configured by default for the CN=Sites on the configuration partition, so just make sure and you should be good
to go
I would recommended to go for the advanced auditing, make sure you follow the steps mentioned on the links I provided. If there is already a policy in place, make sure you are not breaking anything :)

Is there a way to find out the selected no. of words on pages for ipad

I'm writing a speech for school and I wanted to know how many words is a certain paragraph ....pages for ipad

No, not in Pages for iOS. Just a word count for the complete file. Workaround: copy the selected text into a new file.

Edit in Pages for Mac - Download from iCloud in Word format

Does anyone know if the following is a documented limitation?
Create a Pages document in Pages for iPad.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can download the document as a Word document. (Click on the document > click on the Download button > select "Word".)
Open the document in Pages for Mac.
Modify anything in the text and then Save the file.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can no longer download the document as a Word document. You can only download it as a Pages document.
(Steps 1 and 2 are not necessary to reproduce the problem. The limitation is there with a new dcument from Pages for Mac as well.)
Does anyone know if there is any easy work around or fix?
The quickest one I can think of is to open the document in Pages for Mac again and then export to Word. This is of course impossible if you are at a location where you do not have Pages for Mac.

Hi Barry,
I think we have not understood each other.
Step 3 is not opening a completely "foreign" document. It is opening a Pages document created by Pages on the iPad. But ok, let's call it "slightly foreign", as the formats between the Mac and iPad versions clearly are not identical.
I do not get what you mean by "first time". What I would like to do is to edit a file freely on iPad and Mac back and forth to my heart's content several times. That I can do. In the end, once I am done with the file, I would like to export it to Word from iCloud using Safari or another browser. That I cannot do.
This export would mean I can open the file on a Mac without Pages or on a Windows PC. It would also mean that I can have files on the iCloud, editable from iPad or Mac, but only accessed from Windows, when I sit at the PC and discover the need to get the latest version.
That export works fine for documents I create with Pages for iPad, but as soon as I touch them with Pages for Mac, they can no longer be exported to Word from Safari.
Regards
Magnus

Delete a template in pages also how to delete a page if you have more than one

Hi how do you delete a template from pages,also if you have more than one page and you only want one how do you delete the other page.

You have to navigate to the My Templates folder in the Application Support folder in your System Library which is hidden by default in OSX 10.7.5. Hold down the option key when you click on the Go menu in Finder and all will be revealed.
A page only exists because it has content on it, even if that is an invisible like a space, tab, return or page break. Click on the page you want to clear and delete the content.
Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
to see what is there.

How do you get page tabs to automatically delete when you close Firefox. I now have to manally delete all of them - dozen of them!

Each web page I go to leaves a tab at the top of the page above the website. They stay there until I manually delete them. My previous computer automatically shut them when I closed the home page

You can right click one tab and choose "Close Other Tabs" to close most of them.
Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser and make a close button appear if only one tab is open.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

How do I get a file back that Pages (on iPad) automatically deleted?

I was working on a file in the iPad Pages app, collapsed it to see all my documents in the program, then left Pages to check the 'net for a second, and when I returned to the Pages documents screen, the file thumbnail was not the usual microscopic text image of the file, but the Pages logo, and I was unable to access it when I tapped on it.
No reason was given.
So I restarted my Ipad (was this bad?), and when I went back in Pages, the file was there on the doucments screen with the Pages logo for only a second before it disappeared or was deleted.
Boo-urns. Can I get back? A data recovery sort of thing?
I back up my ipad regularly with my macbook via iTunes. Can I find an older version of it on my macbook somehow?
Thanks for any assitance you can offer.

If your have backed up your iPad to iCloud or your computer you can recover the file otherwise you may be out of luck. Did you you have iCloud backup turned on?

Deleting files keeps prompting me for password and deleted files don't appear in trashbin

When I delete files from my macbook, it keeps prompting me for my password everytime.
And when I delete to file, it does not go into the trash. Somehow it deletes completely.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ok. Found the answers from the community. Thanks a bunch!

Important Suggestion for IOS mail delete feature

For those of us who get a lot of mail messages and have multiple platforms for reading those messages, the current iPhone and iPad capabilities for deleting messages leaves a lot to be desired. It seems simple to me that there should be a Select All function in Edit so that when I have several hundred messages in my mailbox I don't have to go and touch everyone to delete them. Please, Apple, take care of this in the next version. I had hopes it would be in version 6 but to no avail.

You can tell Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Space Before Text in Word Document

Having generated a word document I noticed that thre was
space before all my paragraphs. Simple to fix, or so I thought.
When I checked the paragraph setting s in word there was no space
before the paragraph. Checked the paragraph above, and that did not
have space after set.

If the extra spacing is not in your Word output files, then
it must be in your RH source files.
There's either something at each of the paragraphs, or in the
HEAD section of the topic, or in your CSS style sheet assigned to
the topic. The proximity of styling info to its content is what
determines its effect.
Good luck,
Leon

MS Word to Pages Conversion Issues

Hello, I recently added the MS Office software (PowerPoint, Word, etc), and I'm having issues with converting back from MS Word to Pages. The document will convert from Word to Pages, but when I open it in Pages the font has changed and there are weird symbols in place of words. I actually prefer using Pages to write and edit my documents....
Please help! Thank you!

Yes, but the issue is that as long as I have Word on my computer, the documents that were once Pages documents are now in Word. Even when I reset the 'default' back to Pages, what the documents were orginally created in, the documents don't properly convert back to Pages. So, I'm wondering if I remove/uninstall MS Word all together if that will look after the problem...
