How do you do word processing on the iPad is there a word processing App?

How do you do word processing on the iPad is there a word processing App?

It all depends on what I need to use the document for.
When I need to create a text document that I need to share at work I use OnLive Desktop.  This gives me a Windows 7 Desktop with Office 2010 apps on it that I can connect to DropBox. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onlive-desktop/id490292278?mt=8 or CloudOn https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cloudon/id474025452?mt=8. You have to be connected to a FAST wifi network to use this option.
If I need to create a Word doc on the go I use QuickOffice Pro. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickoffice-pro-hd-edit-office/id376212724?mt=8
Connects to DropBox.
If I just need to create a formatted text document, think Word document, I use Pages.  It is easy to use on the iPad, because it was designed for it from the start and it now supports TrackChanges. But it does Track Changes a bit clumsy.   https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8
Connects to iCloud and you can open in Pages from DropBox.
If I just need a plain text document, I use PlainText.  Connects to DropBox and is easy to use.  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plaintext-dropbox-text-editing/id391254385?mt=8
There are lots of options out there, it just depends on what you need to do the most.

  • How do you make hanging indents on the iPad version of pages?

    I'm trying to write a paper that needs to be in APA format which includes hanging indents. How do you make hanging indents on the iPad version of pages? I don't want to have to convert it into word every time I need to write a paper or fix the formatting

    Create a paragraph style which has the margins and paragraph indent where you want them.

    Once you've done it for one paragraph and got that looking right you can copy and paste that style onto other paragraphs:

  • How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1?

    How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1? We just upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, and we see no way to be able to open multiple screens at once. Before, there was a small button in the upper portion of any window. That button would take you from a particular window to the place where multiple windows are open at once. Does it do it differently? Is there a special setting button that we have missed? Thanks!
    One more thing: We are only talking about Safari.

    Guitaristica-
    I don't think I've seen a way to have separate Safari screens visible at the same time.  The small thumbnails were deleted in one of the iOS updates, and replaced with a multiple "Tab" system.
    You can open an additional screen in a new "tab" by pressing and holding on a link until a new menu comes up.

  • How do you open an image on the iPad, via Photo Stream, into PS Touch?

    To anyone using an Apple iPad w/ PS Touch.  How do you open an image on the iPad, via Photo Stream, into PS Touch?

    You need to start from PS Touch for this.
    There's two ways either direct in the gallery with the +image icon.
    Or you create a document and use the +image icon in the document view.
    thanks,

  • How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

    How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

    There is some instability in  iMessage.  It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use. 
    I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone. 
    ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
    On the iPad 2, same thing.  Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
    On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage.  That fixed it.   Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
    I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
    If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it. 
    Why?  (beware, some of this is guesswork)
    iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network).  It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi.  If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message.  If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line.  If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up. 
    In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses.  That is where the problem happenes.  zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem.  Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem.  I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem.  Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'. 
    To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8    Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen.  Now go run iMessage.  After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank.  Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

  • How do you transfer video files from the iPad to a separate device?

    How do I transfer video files from my iPad Air to a separate device or storage device so that I free up memory on my iPad

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

  • HT2486 How do you create a group on the iPad or iphone

    I'd like to know how to create a group in contacts in Address Book on the iPad or iPhone.

    I just tried this method and it works. I'm also looking into creating groups using iCloud, but haven't really read into it yet.
    1) go to your Contacts App. Select "All Contacts", or whatever area you want to include your new group.
    2) touch the + sign at the bottom which will add in a new contact. Yes, you're right, this is NOT a group contact, but an individual one.
    3) In the "First" name field, add in the name of the group. You can ignore Last name and/or company if you want, or add in more info.
    4) add your string of email names in the "email" field. I believe the default just says Home.
    voila.
    I recommend that you first make the string of names in another text app, such as notes first as I accidentally touched the little 'x' mark on the far right side which deleted my progress...argh. Or, if you have a lot of addressses to add, you might want to do it on your computer first, and then just email the list to yourself. I'm sure there are easier ways, but this is a quick and easy way, especially if your email group isn't large.

    There is no way to undelete a note. If you delete it, it is gone. The only possible way to retrieve it would be to restore the iPad from a backup that contains that note.

  • How do you add a contact on the iPad mini

    I was wondering how you could add a contact on the iPad mini and people say there is a + sign on the contacts app and I do not have a + sign on mine. I got my ipad from a apple retail store.

    The plus sign should be at the bottom of the contacts App:
    Is it not there?

  • How do you rent a movie on the iPad?

    how do you rent movie for ipad

    If rentals are available in your country then they will show in the Films tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. When you rent a film on your iPad it will then download to the Videos app, and you have 30 days to watch it - but once you start watching it you have 24 hours if you are in the uS, 48 hours elsewhere, to finish watching it before it expires.
    If you rent a film on your iPad you can't then move it to your computer's iTunes

  • How do you scale a picture on the ipad for the home screen?

    How do you re-size a picture for the home screen?  It shows a message "move and scale" but nothing happens.  I pinch and re-size and then it just goes back.
    Thanks

    Once you take a photo w/ your camera it should save the photo in your photos. You then have a few options. You an MMS or email the photo to yourself if then you can upload. Websites like facebook you can upload from your camera roll on your iphone. I supposed it really depends on the website.

  • How do you add a reminder on the ipad in iOS 7?

    I hate to admit defeat, but I'm stumped. How do you add a reminder in Reminders on the iPad 2 in iOS 7?

    It is not easy to see and I found it by messing around. First of all put them in daye order by dragging the screen down and touching the little alarm clock at the top.  Then touch the space below the earlies reminder and a new one comes up. It defaults to 'today' so you have to touch the new reminder and then touch the 'i' button that appears. You can then change the date and time etc. No easy.
    I dont understand why Apple do these thongs before updating the user guide!
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you fix wrong colors on the iPad?

    After my sister playing with thee ipad, its colors bcame messed up. Everything that is normally black, is now some sort of red. For example, when you turn on the ipad, it shows an Apple logo, with a black background. Now, the background is red. This color problem does affect apps like painting apps and reading apps, etc. I have also noticed that the red pixels seem to flicker. Lets say i had a picture of a forest in the evening. My ipad shows red instead of black, so everything is going to be a hue of red. But instead of the pixels being still, they seem to 'move'. I guess they constantle flicker on and off. Im going to an apple store soon, but thought someone migt help. Much appreciated if you do, or know

    In my own ipad everything that is black is now green and everything that should be white now has this purplish hue that is moving in streams.
    I tries Apfelwurm suggestion and it did not work
