  • How do I name documents in Pages for iPad?

    How do I name documents in Pages for iPad?
    When I create a new documents in Pages it is saved simply as Blank. I need to be able to edit this and give my new document a name such as "Pricing Proposal", etc.
    Is this possible in Pages for iPad, and if so how do I go about it?

    Ah yes: that works. I swear I tried that when searching for how to do this, but I must not have held my finger down long enough.
    Thank you so much for your help

  • Naming a document in pages for iPad OS7

    In Pages for iPad when naming document tapping the colon key results in a hyphen instead. Only happens in naming document function. Just letting someone know.

    Colons in document names are not allowed because this interferes with the file system. Same on macs.

  • 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...

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Recovering documents in Pages for iPad after iCloud account change

    I changed iCloud accounts on my iPad, and when I did all documents in Pages were deleted.  Is there anyway to recover those documents?  The old iCloud account had the user name changed, so several documents were created on the iPad without being sync'd to any iCloud account.

  • TS1702 All my documents in Pages for iPad 2 will not open.

    All my documents show the first page of the User Guide. If I clicked on any of them, they would not open, except for the User Guide itself.
    I have deleted the App and reinstalled it. All documents have gone, but i still have them on iTunes and iPhone.
    In the new app which only shows the User Guide, it will not create a new document. Also the documents have not been reinstated from iCloud.
    Help please. Would dearly like to get this sorted.

    Sounds to me like you may have an issue with the firmware, i.e. the iOS version that you are runing.  I also have an iPad 2  and sometimes have to restart it to get it to recognize and run a newly downloaded app.  And only once or twice have I had to uninstall and redownload an app that this didn't fix. I think this has more to do with the way an app has been coded more than anything else.
    You might try doing a "Reset All Settings" reset and set it up as a new iPad.  You should not lose any data, apps, music, videos, etc. that you have stored on your device.  I have done this a few times when tweaking the iOS 5.0.1 firmware and never lost anything.  You do have to re-enter your ID's and Passwords for wifi.  And of course you will need to go back into settings and reset any changes you may have made to things like location and notifications.
    I don't know if this will work, but if I was in your place this is the next step that I would take.

  • Unable to open documents in pages for iPad

    I use iWork for work on a regular basis. All my documents are organized in folders. Some of my documents show inside their respective folders but I'm unable to open them. For example in one folder I have 12 documents raging from January thru December and I can see all of them, but when I click on December to open it doesn't do anything. Clicking on edit doesnt let me highlight it either. I can't delete it or open it. When logging in to iCloud the documents dont even show on there. Fortunetly I can recreate the damaged documents but I can't get rid of them. Anyone having the same issue who has successfully deleted these? Thanks

    Hi Ankit,
    Thank you for your advice, but Im still having problems.
    Back to the OP.  To avoid the threads getting confused, I suggest the other user starts a new one?
    I have tried ensuring that PDFs are automatically opened by Adobe.  I used the path you suggested.  However, I'm still having the same problem.
    When I went to do this, Adobe was listed in the "recommended" list of products with which to open PDF files.  However, I ignored this and followed your guidance.  Once I had done, nothing happened (i.e. Adobe icon was not added to the 'Other products' list below the 'Recommended').
    To me, this speaks of either a bad installation or bad association in which something is causing Adobe not to recognise itself.
    What else can you advise?
    Is there, for instance, a way to have a clean removal of Adobe, and then reinstall?  I don't even know if this will work. 

  • 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.

  • Changing Document Title in Pages for iPad and VoiceOver

    Is there a trick to changing the name of the document in Pages for iPad when voiceover is enabled. I can change the document name when voiceover is turned off but there doesn't seem to be away of getting to the label when voiceover is turned on.

    What makes this difficult is that I can export the documents in PDF format, but then I cannot view them in Pages on the iPad as they cannot be uploaded into iCloud and Pages cannot access documents in other cloud storage sites. Pages uses the Word templates best.
    I've considered Quickoffice, but don't want to spend the $$ on an app that may not work.
    I've even thought about Team Viewer and accessing the documents on my Mac at home, but why remote access another computer just to view native files?
    Thanks for the responses.

  • Adjust zoom level in Pages for iPad

    When I open a new document in Pages for iPad, the zoom level is set to "fit width".  I would like to be able to zoom out and see more of the page on the screen at once.  How do I adjust the zoom level like you can do in MS Word? 
    Very specifically asking about the iPad version of the app, I'm sure this is a simple issue to address in the desktop version.
    Thank you for your help.

    Other that rotating the iPad to portrait rather than landscape mode (portrait will show you the entire page if the keybaord is closed), not much you can do. There is no setting for this.

  • Resize columns in Pages for iPad?

    Is there a way to resize columns in a multi-column document in Pages for iPad? I want a narrow left column and a wider right column. I can kinda get the effect by using a table, but it'd be easier to just adjust the column widths. Is this possible, and if so, how?

    Hi Adarga,
    I'm not seeing a way to resize the columns and the Help doesn't mention it either. I'm just able to change the indents and "margins" within the columns, but the columns stay the same size.

  • Images in Pages for iPad

    Hello all,
    I want to use my iPad to write assessments of my students papers, the form I have to use for these assessments has a number of images, like the schools logo etc., after transfering the pages document to Pages for iPad the images have disappeared, no matter how I transfer them, tried iCloud, Dorpbox, Mail, iTunes etc. Anyone has a solution for this?
    Thanx
    Mark

    Have you tried transferring the images separately and the placing them into the document on the iPad? I know that it might be a more cumbersome solution, but it's worth a try.
    Obviously you are using file formats that the iPad can handle - correct? No .eps or .ai files? From the iPad specifications .... Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images)

  • 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.
