What's the gesture to get a text insertion point in iOS 7 Keynote?

I was editing a new presentation. I find I have to tap repeatedly to edit an existing text area so I can get a simple insertion point and not a word selection or selecting the entire area or starting a re-positioning of the area. I have yet to figure out what Apple wants me to do so I can accomplish this.
I can often get an insertion point after scrabbling away with taps, multiple taps, holds, short drags, and multiple-touch variants, but by the time I do, the sequence is too involved to remember, and who knows how many steps back I'd have to go to identify the start of the gesture?
And, see another question I just posted: In the course of clawing away at the slide, the entire deck scaled down to half size. So not only does this bug make it hard to get any work done, it seems to be destructive. (WAIT. Found it. My scrabbling turned out to include an ordinary pinch-to-zoom gesture. Never mind. I'll amend my other question.)
I give up. I've used up all my guesses and I want to know the answer to the riddle. How do I get a between-characters insertion point in an object containing text, but not currently open?

There is an online help system for all ios iWork apps. This is the link to the keynote one

I think to place the insertion point you tap and hold until the magnifying loop shows up, then you let go when the cursor is where you want it.

    That is a an NI VI and they will not give you the password.
    When saving your VI makes sure you UN-CHECK the "Include vi.lib files" option.

  • What is the best way to manipulate text?

    What is the best way to manipulate text in Photoshop?  Let's say I need to edit an "A" and I want to stretch out the bottom corners of the letter, while not moving the upper portion (wide bottom, skiny top)... what is the best way to do this?  I know the "skew" function somewhat moves corners, but I want to take the binding boxes (while in the skew function) and move them individually so it doesn't affect another corner. Is this possible (or am I just crazy?!?!)?

    Not sure I get all the nuances of what you want, but have you tried invoking Free Transform, (CTRL+T) then holding down CTRL while clicking/dragging a corner handle?

    I'd say pretty good if you get the same results shown in the picture below, when entering your Telephone Number into the BT Infinity site. Note the BT site is down for maintenance at the moment.
    Or try this checker https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html. And you get a similar result as below.-
    "Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 26.6Mbps and upstream line speed of 11.1Mbps."

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

    I have replied to you three times now without reply. I DID NOT authorise a payment of £9.99 for NowTV. What is the solution to getting my money refunded. I think you assume I will go away after being Ignored. No I will not go away. I find now that you have DISABLED MY APPLE ID. Is this a punishment you use to anyone who takes up a stand against charges being made unauthorised on their account?. Please tell me why you have disabled my account. When will my account be restored? If not when will you refund ALL my purchases made to APPLE/ITUNES? I can then move on to another brand and hopefully better customer service. After reading articles regarding APPLE ID DISABLED it appears common practice from your company to DISABLE anyone's account if they question unknown charges. Please reply with your intentions regarding  the unauthorised payment and the DISABLING of my account.

  • What is the best way to add text to an image

    I used the draw ap div to add text to an image.  will that cause any problems?  If so, what is the best way to add text to an image?  Thanks!

    APDivs will kill your design unless you fully understand the css behind the scenes and plan accordingly. They really are completely unnecessary in the vast majority of situations.
    An easy way to add "web text over an image" would be to use the background-image attribute in css for a standard <div> tag, then just add the text within that same <div>.
    Something like this in the css (if you are using a 300x300 pixel image)...
    #yourdiv {
         background-image:url(yourpic.jpg);
         width:300px;
         height:300px;
    And then this in the html...
    <div id="yourdiv">Your text here</div>
    You would then position the <div> using css margins, floats and padding. Using position:absolute (APDivs) is typically something that will blow your design to pieces if the viewer changes their browser settings.

  • Cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text

    When I cut/copy and paste on the iPad I get extra text symbols like "%". Is there a way to just copy the text without the extra stuff? If I copy from Safari and paste into an email I have to go and erase all the extra text.

    the % is usually caused by spaces. It's an HTML 'glitch' in that, in the brain and logic of HTML, there should never be a space, so when it sees them it inserts % to fill that void that it's logic says isn't there.
    I'm not sure if there is a work around beyond maybe pasting it first into a text document, then from there into your e-mail and see if that makes the symbols go away.

  • What are the procedures for getting Apple to remotely wipe all my data off my ipad that was stolen? I have no hope of recovering it. Please advise asap...thanks!

    What are the procedures for getting Apple to wipe the data off my original ipad I bought two years ago. I had it stolen from a hotel room over the weekend and it is not password protected and no I did not download app to find it.
    Any hwlp would be greting appreciated!

    Apple can't do it, only you could potentially do it if you had enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. As a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, according to table rms.tran_data_codes, the description is "25     Unavailable Inventory Transfer" so how about setting an amount of SOH on unavailable, and then making a transfer?
