  • 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 you hide text in Pages?

    The Pages user guide doesn't say anything about hiding text so that it's there, but not visible and doesn't print unless invisible characters are displayed. Is that feature not available? If not, is there a workaround?
    I really want to get away from The Behemoth From Redmond and do more in Pages, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I've done a weekly church bulletin for years, first in AppleWorks & now in Pages. I had tried having all the regular events listed in my template but would often forget to remove what wasn't needed. I went to the copy & paste from another document method for awhile. Now, someone else makes a half-page insert with the information.
    It sounds like you're re-using a document for the bulletin. Since you are used to hiding unneeded text, why not set up a template with everything needed & just delete (rather than hide) what's not needed that week? Then you won't be over-writing or permanently deleting anything as the template will remain unchanged.

    How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app.  it's an application that's programmed by apple.  it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true. 
    choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case. 
    don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is? 

  • Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture? Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

    Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture?  Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a picture of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

    Sjazbec,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did read the help and went through the tutorial - the butterfly text wrap (and the wrap around the curved contour of the bicycle wheel at the Apple store) is the reason I am asking this question.  I don't know how to use one of my own pictures and tell Pages what contour to wrap around.  Is there some additional image editing software that I need to "creatively crop" one of my own pictures, so that Pages will be able to wrap around that contour?
    Thanks / Danke!!

  • How do you edit text that is in a text box?

    How do you edit text that is in a text box?  I just want to change the font color of the text.  Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    This is what the help files recommend
    (Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    When I try the above solution I don't have a  "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
    Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

    Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
    If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
    It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.

    Create a text box, type what you want in it, then
    rotate it using the Inspector (Select the text box,
    go to the "metrics" tab of the inspector, and rotate
    it with the little wheel).

  • How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

    How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

    You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
    You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

    How do I highlight text in Pages - none of the menus, nor the 'Help' function seems to help...

    It's tough searching for something when you can't guess the terms to use. It's called a "background color." You can choose a color from the format bar.

    You can build a form to a procedure in oracle portal that explores the queue with the option browse and prints de type message with htp package. I made it in this way and my applicattion works right. The procedure must loop the select count(msgid) from aq$[queuetable_name] times.

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.
