Font not working in Pages for iPad

When I create a MS Word 2010 document using the Arial Font, I then email myself the document and then open it Pages. Once it opens, I get a message saying "This document may look different on your iOS device. The font Arial isn't available on iOS. It was replaced with ArialMT." I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling pages to see if something was wrong with the program, but it does the same thing. I have also connected my iPad to my computer and uploaded the document via iTunes, but I still run into the same issue. I am currently running iOS 6.1.3.
This is weird because I looked up supported fonts for iOS 6 and Arial is one of them. Once it "converts" Arial to ArialMT, I go into the document to check which font is uses and it is listed as "Arial". I am confused on why it does not have Arial, throws an error message, but then uses Arial. Anyone experience the same thing and know how to fix it?

Is there a list of Microsoft Fonts that will work with Pages?
Are you actually seeing a noticeable difference in the fonts after conversion? While there are some difference between those fonts, they are very subtle differences and in all likelihood will not really change the look of the document.

Find does not work in numbers for iPad.

help, my company has an excel document which I have saved to numbers. But the find option DOES NOT WORK, when the find option is tapped the find screen shows up but only accepts on or two letters. Then when the wheel/ tool is presses the screen goes blank and returns to the desk top. I received an email from iWork but have not received a follow- up response. Help.

Hi lkennon,
You need to select the text in the cell to make "Remove Link" active. First, make the column wider if necessary to give somewhere 'safe' to click to the right of the address
Now drag over the address to select it
and "Remove Link" will be active.
You may find this useful (turn Smart Links off)
Even so, pasting an already active link into Numbers seems to over-ride that setting. Use Edit > Paste and Match Style.
Regards,
Ian.

Font not working in pages

I have a double font suite and both fonts are showing up in the font menu but one of the fonts just displays regular text when typed and not the graphic font that it is supposed to display. The other font displays correctly. Both fonts are in font book and my library font folder. Any advice.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It sounds like the problem you have isn't an iWork problem, but some more general font issue. I'd suggest looking in the general Tiger discussion boards, and see if there is an appropriate category there to post your problem -- you may get folks with more expertise in this area, who may be able to help you resolve your issue.

*** - no footnotes & endnotes in Pages for iPad?!

OK - I just got an iPad and am in general fairly happy about it. But I had a big *** moment, after I purchased Pages and tried to open a document I had been working on on my Mac. Guess what - iPad Pages won't import footnotes and endnotes!
Does anyone know if Apple is planning on changing this in an upcoming release? This is truly unacceptable. How can Apple expect all of its student customers to use it, not to mention other academics? This strikes me as a large portion of their customer base. What's worse, the advertising leads one to believe that, besides some complex formatting, everything you can do on Pages for Mac can also be done on Pages for the iPad.
Has anyone found a workaround to this 'bug'? I don't know whether Apple did this intentionally or not, but it's a very serious drawback of the app.
I will tell my student friends not to download Pages for iPad, until this is fixed. Apple - get with it!
A loyal but disappointed Apple customer

I agree with most of what you are trying to get across, except that I think there are a few problems when applied to the issue at hand (footnotes on iPad Pages).
1) Yes, I agree the OP could have found out. I haven't bought an iPad yet, and this is one of the reasons (along with issues with Keynote), and the fact that I until these things are solved, my MacBook Pro works fine. However, here are a few lines right from Apple's product page on the iTunes store...
- View and edit existing documents by importing Pages '09 or Microsoft Word files from Mail attachments or web.
- Share your work by exporting to Pages '09, Microsoft Word, or PDF and sending it via Mail. …
- Transfer documents between Mac or PC and your iPad using File Sharing in iTunes.
Now, combine that with the fact that this isn't called 'Pages Lite' or iPadMiniWrite... one sure gets the impression that things are going to be more seamless. Not even a little asterisk noting some feature difference in files or that you lose certain document aspects when going back and fourth. You'd have to be fairly tech-savvy to pick up the word 'export' and 'import' and imply this from that. One would guess that for MS Word or some other word processor, but not when the app has the same name and the above statements are made.
2) Yes, I realize footnotes aren't trivial, but they are a basic feature of every word-processor I've ever used (mail merge probably as well)..... I'm pretty sure even back on computers with several times less processing power and RAM than the iPad has. There are some incredibly complex applications for the iPad. Unless there is some really crazy limitation I can't conceive of, footnotes aren't a technical limitation issue.
3) I'm not blaming Apple for anything other than being pretty unclear about this. Make it clear... then let the user decide. While I love Apple, this is walking a pretty fine line near deception IMO. I do remember finding this out and being somewhat ******-off at the time because I had been tricked after the keynote (speech), and reading EVERYTHING I could find on the topic. This didn't come out until some real reviewers got their hands on one and discovered and exposed it. I certainly wasn't the only one who was shocked by this. That isn't cool, and isn't the Apple I know.
4) I don't really think it is an unfair complaint. This is something Apple should implement (and hopefully will)... and be clear about until then. At the very least, if the iPad can't support footnotes, it should at least somehow preserve them in the file so that if you save and go back to the desktop, it hasn't stripped them out.
BTW, sorry for inferring you were a fanboy... and welcome to the world of Apple. I think you'll find that long-time Apple users can be extremely critical of Apple products when we feel they aren't living up to expectations in some way. And, believe it or not, Apple often does listen..... which I think is at least part of what has made them a great company.

Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

Instructions for adding a word to spell dictionary in Pages for iPad not worki g

Instructions for adding a word to the spell dictionary in Pages for iPad say to double-tap the word. At that point you're supposed to be given the option to "define" the word, which I take to be adding it to the dictionary.
Double-tapping only gives me alternative spellings of the word. I don't get an option to define.
What am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Eric Weir

Not working for me, Demo.
Entering the words in settings would be cumbersome. I have a long document with many unfamiliar names and technical terms.
In Pages with spellcheck on unrecognized words are underlined in red. Tapping once highlights they word in a pinkish box. Tapping twice brings up a list of alternative words in a graphic display rather a text suggestion with option to dismiss. Tapping outside the suggestions graphic cancels it but does not seem to reject the suggestions, I.e., not in the sense that you are then given the option of accepting the word into the dictionary.
Help gives a procedure for doing this, but it does not work.
The document I'm working on is a finished document. No composition or editing required. I just need to get it formatted for publication. Most of the words another recognized by spellcheck, and there are many, need to be enter into the dictionary.
Thanks,
Eric

Pages for iPad dictionary not working at all

Hi, I just downloaded Pages for iPad. When I highlight a word, then right arrow, then define, it doesn't do anything. I'm French and if I do the same thing in an English document or an English ebook, it defines the word immediately.
Someone knows the solution ?

Are you expecting to see a French dictionary? If so, that's not available, only English and Japanese, as stated in the info published by Apple:

HT4082 Does Pages for iPad support comment notes and headers?

I would like to find out whether Pages for iPad maintains/supports the Comment Notes feature from Word and the HeaderxFooter format/edit please

For everybody who is sick and tired of not being able to use custom fonts in their documents on their iOS devices I might have a solution.
I ran into similar problems and took this as my motivation to develop "AnyFont". With this little app you are able to install all the fonts you need for your documents on your iPhone or iPad. So when your need Tahoma on your iPad you can use AnyFont to install it right away.
Let me know how you like it!

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password that goes with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my doc?

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password associated with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my document? i quite the Pages app and restarted it. Now I guess I'll reset the iPad and see if that helps. Thanks!

Interesting that one does not need the password to delete using Finder.
The Pages password protects the contents of the document. If there were a Finder password, it would protect what you might think of as the "file wrapper" ... the stuff around the file content.
Glad it's not vital. I have to say I only pasword protect those Pages documents that are, in fact, vital.
Best of luck.

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.

Date picker is not working in IE9 for sharepoint 2010 appliation pages

Hi,
Date picker not working in IE9 for sharepoint 2010 appliation pages. We have enabled custom master page.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For this issue, you can add the following line of code into the pickerdialog.master which lays in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS
<meta http-equiv=”x-ua-compatible” content=”IE=8”>
Or we can use the JavaScript code provided in this blog which would also do the trick:
