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

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 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?

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:

How do I show invisibles in Pages for iPad?

I'm using Pages on an iPad 2. I'd like to show "invsibles" or formatting marks in my documents but don't know how to do it. Can anyone please help?
Thanks
Alison

Hi, I had the same issue and found the answer elsewhere. So in case you haven't yet;
Invisibles only become visible in Pages for iOS when you select the text around them (I know! I thought the same thing when I found out!).
There is no way (currently) to turn them on as you can in Pages for OSX.
Cheers, Adrian.

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.

Try and retrieve them with a computer; log on to www.icloud.com

How do styles get translated from Pages for iPad to/from Word?

I can't seem to get the styles of Pages on the iPad and Word 2004 on the Mac to match up. Can anyone offer advice?
When I import a Word doc to the iPad, the Normal style does not get converted to a specific Pages style; the Style box in the ruler remains blank. Other styles, such as Headings of various levels, do get converted.
Reversing the process, when I export a Pages document to Word, the Body style (the Pages equivalent of the Normal style) gets exported as well. A new style with this name is created in Word. If a style already exists with this name, then "Body 1" is created. I can't find a way to match the Body style with some preexisting style within Word.
This is really inconvenient, because Word relies on consistent use of styles. For instance, if I create an outline in Word, import to iPad, modify, and export to Word, the body-level text is promoted to a heading -- screwing up the outline.
The problem occurs whether I save as doc or docx.
I wonder whether there's a workaround, such as using specific style names

I just did a test and moving a doc back and forth a few times and got even worse confusion than you did.
There appears to be no clear answer there, just more confusion. It would seem that best practices at the moment are saving your orig document in Word as Word 97 and using Normal or Body Text but not both. This is probably easier said than done since Word tries to slip the unstyled Normal in all the time.
I guess this hasn't seemed any different than normal to me, since I am used to working with Word docs that move between different versions of Word, different Word formats, different OSs, antiquated OSs and having different fonts installed. I recent years I don't think I have ever had a Word doc open 100% intact.

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 to: Subscripts and superscripts in Pages for iPad?

I have a little problem with Pages on my iPad; I must realize a scientifical report and I need to use subscripts and superscripts. Are they present in Pages??? How can I attive them?
Thanks.
Best Regards
Enrico Catanzani

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.

How do I use Sections in Pages for iPad?

?

This version of Pages doesn't offer the feature.
Another thing to consider: the iPad has a specialized processor that puts it in the ballpark of a laptop on processing speed, but the smaller amount of RAM becomes obvious when working with bigger files. I had a graphics intensive Pages file with a few hundred shapes and images plus 100 pages of text. Typing near the beginning of the document became painfully slow, since all content that followed needed to be pushed and rerendered with each keystoke. I made each chapter into a file and Pages is much more responsive.

You are limited to the fonts included in the apps, there is no way to add outside fonts. Pages comes with some nice ones, however. See the product's included help how to make use of them.
