Automatic date update in Pages for iPad

I want the date (date feild?) in a Pages for iPad letter template to update automatically (using the system date, like other word process application) but cannot see how to do this. This automatic date update appears to work in the Pages for iPad templates examples. i.e open a letter template and the date field shows the correct date, do the same with the same template 24 hours later and the date is shown correctly accordingly. I believe feature is achieved in the Mac version of Pages by setting up a date field. I would like to do the same with Pages iPad. Any ideas how this can be achieved?

  • Will there be an update in Pages for ipad that will allow for sub scripts and superscripts

    I am a chemistry professor who loves to work on the ipad. The problem I have is that the mathematics I use and chemical equations is use in my writings need both super scripts and subscripts. I would love to use my ipad for this, but presently, the only way I can do this is with a third party app that allows me to create the formulas and the paste them in the document I am working on. Will there be an update to Pages for ipad that will allow subscripts and super scripts. I would love to move away from my Office 2010, but the support is not there yet.

  • Tab Function in Pages for iPad moved?

    Was using pages for ipad today, and I used to use a tab function from the top menu bar by hitting a button that looks like an align button and it allowed for page breaks and tab functions.
    I think I updated pages, and now I have to hold down as if I were to select a word or words, use the insert function, and then get to Tab/Page Break.
    Is there a way to change this preference? It was so much easier the with the menu bar button!
    Thanks,
    Nate

    I am trying to create a simple table, with varying column widths, eg Year Month Day Description. After going through the very limited options in Pages and doing plenty of Googling I have come to the conclusion that Apple doesn't allow you to have varying column widths in a single table :-( So I tried to create a custom table by using tabs, ie Year <hold, insert, tab> Month <hold, insert, tab hold, insert, tab> Day <hold, insert, tab> Description = 4 tabs = 12 steps :-( A Tab button on the keyboard would've been great, but the Ipad keyboard doesn't have one :-( neither do they allow me to customize my keyboard :-(  I found software that seems to be able to do what I need but Apple says I'm not allowed to purchase the software in my country :-(

  • In Pages for iPad, I couldn't wrap text(Chinese characters) around the image

    Hi, a question about Pages for iPad. I wrote some words with Chinese characters and then inserted a image from the Camera Roll. The problem is that I couldn't wrap words around the photo. I tried again wrote some words in English and it's ok for wrapping. Why did this happen?

    From the help section in the Pages app ....
    Anchor or free an object to or from its surrounding text:
    Select the object, tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
    In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
    To make an object move with the flow of text, slide “Move with Text” to ON.To make an object remain stationary, unaffected by changes in the surrounding text flow, slide “Move with Text” to OFF.
    Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
    Wrap text around an object:
    Select the object and tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
    In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
    Tap a wrap option to select it.Automatic optimizes text wrap for you, depending on the size and position of the object, and the width of the text column. Text wraps around an object, unless there’s very little space around the sides, in which case the text flows only above and below the object. Around lets you customize the text wrap around the sides, without automatic optimization. Above and Below allows text lines only above and below the object.
    Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
    This works for me. Restart your iPad if this does not work for you.

  • How to integrate address book in Pages for iPad?

    In Pages for Mac, I could drag Address Book entries directly into Pages to automatically populate Name and Address placeholders.
    How do I do that in Pages for iPad?
    Currently, iOS Pages does not pull my details (name & address) automatically into letter templates either, as is the case with Mac Pages.

    I have the same problem / need.
    Does anybody know if there is any sort of integration of iOS pages with Contacts in iPad / iPhone?

  • Tables and cells in Pages for iPad

    I am using Pages for iPad. I am writing in a table and when I write a large content in a cell, it desappears on the bottom of the page.
    Is there any way to make the cell to split automatically when it reaches the bottom of the page?
    Thank you for your answers.

    You could send your need to Apple and maybe they will add it.

  • Pages for iPad: change a Paragraph Style ?

    Hello all,
    there is something that is driving me crazy...
    using Pages for iPad is it possible to change the default settings of a Paragraph Style ?
    I am not talking about importing a document with a custom set of styles but simply:
    - I open my document in Pages for iPad
    - I select a line of text and apply the "Header 1" style to it
    - I am not happy - for example - with the font size of the Header 1 style and I want to make all my Header 1 paragraphs change their font size
    - In the desktop version you would simply change/update the style you need, but on the iPad I cant find a way to change those values
    (BTW, I seem to remember that I once managed to do this...)
    Thanks,

    You seem to be able to copy and paste styles, but nowhere that I can find does it let you update the defined styles.
    There is the manual which does not refer to any suitable method, and also some eBooks on the subject but I have scanned those and can find no reference to redefining styles either.
    The more I play with Pages for iPad the more of a toy it seems. Sort of amazing that it does what it does on a mobile tablet, but when you get right down to it, not very useful.

  • Document lost / Pages for iPad

    Hello,
    I have created a file on Pages for iPad (iOS 7.1) yesterday. The app was not allowed to backup documents on iCloud. It was saved automatically and then being imported as PDF and sent as mail. Now I can not see the doc in Pages overview anymore even though I have definitely not deleted it. Is there any way I can restore this file again?
    Is there also a possibility to import a PDF made with Pages back into Pages in an editable format?
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

  • How to use  font Symbol and Zapfdingbats. in Pages for iPad

    Pages for ipad has font options of Symbol and Zapf Dingbats.  I would like to use one of these fonts to place arrows in lines of text. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using IOS6 and ipad 3

    Does Pages on the iPad have an Inspector panel? In the Mac version, it's a round blue button in the icon bar at the top of the window.
    If you've got that in the iPad's Pages app, then you can use it to manually raise or lower the baseline of one or more characters, then use the font size to make them smaller. Superscripting after a numeral can be automatic (in the Mac version) by setting that in the Prefs.
    You can probably tell I don't have my iPad yet.

  • Where did strikethrough go? unable to find strikethrough button on Pages for ipad in version1.5, HELP!

    unable to find strikethrough button S on Pages for ipad in version1.5, HELP!
    look! and what's that dot thing?

    The following query runs for 10 mins on tbl with 1 mill records on sql server 2012 RTM, and for 1.5 min on sql server 2012 build 3128.
    Significant differences in duration are usually due to different plans.  As Olaf suggested, comparing the plans is a good first step.  Assuming the plans are different, I wouldn't be too quick to assume the difference is related to the software
    build.  Different plans are often due to differences in the row count estimates used to generate the plan so make sure the same indexes and statistics exist in the databases and that stats are fully up-to-date.
    What is the purpose of the WHERE clause? It seems to me it will return all rows anyway.

  • Logical symbols in pages for IPad? Asking for help

    I have a new IPad and I would like to define logical symbols on my keyboard (just like ą, ę and so on). Is there some way to do it and to use it in PAGES for IPad? I would prefer to have few math symbols defined directly under some bottoms and not to use copy/paste. (I tried to find in Pages for IPad some special characters, but there are no such things, perhaps it is possible to add it?) I have also small separated keybord (perhaps this could be somehow used...?)

    Afraid you cannot define custom characters for any keyboard in the iPad. What accented characters there are can be shown by holding the appropriate letter down.

  • How do you highlight text in Pages for iPad? The document I want to create and highlight is a pages document

    I am trying to create a document in Pages for iPad and want to highlight various bits of text but can not find a function in the inspector for this. Can anyone help,please?

    Hi stuartdj,
    I'm not finding a way to highlight text as one can do with iBooks (hold and swipe for black text, background yellow for example).
    One option is to actually color the text itself.
    Select the text, then in Style tools, tap the Font name at the top which shows the Text Options sheet where there is a Color option.  Would changing the font color to Red, Green or Purple accomplish your goals?
    If you do want black text on a colored background (highlighted) it would need to be text in a text box where you can change the fill (background) color.  Style, Style Options, Fill.  But this is not inline text and doesn't flow like just coloring the font itself.

  • How do I create a new paragraph Style in Pages for iPad?

    I opened an RTF document in iOS 6 Pages for iPad. How do I create new paragraph Syles?

    Style is a function of the template applied to the document (and/or the limited number built in to Pages). You can mofify the text or apply one of the built in styles, but I do not beleive within Pages in iOS you can create a new style.
