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 change/adjust border width for all the cells in a table created in Pages?

How do you change/adjust border width for all the cells in a table created in Pages?
Note- I am trying to figure out how to create and format tables in the latest version of the Pages app on an iPad air (iOS 8.1.1.1) . Creating tables, adding or removing borders for individual/all cells in a table seems straight forward. However the default border style seems to be a heavy black line. How do I change this?
I found the option add or remove borders for all/ individual cells in a table, however I can't find any option within style/format dialogue screens for changing colour or line thickness for table cells. Likewise I can't find any clear instructions on how to do this in apple help pages or support website
Btw- I'm assuming it is possible to customize/adjust the colour & thickness of selected lines in a table created in this app (it's fairly easy to do this word processing apps like MS Word) please let me know if this is not actually possible in Pages

They know perfectly well what they took out of Pages '09.
Well over 90 features.
Do you think you posting feedback is going to remind them of what they did?

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

HT5503 How do you download IOS 6.0 for IPAD

I would like to download IOS 6.0 for my IPad 2. How can I do that?

If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

How do you acess new podcast episodes for iPad 2

Help

I'm afraid I can't help on this as I don't have an iPad: you would do best to ask in the iPad Forum.

Pretend I know nothing about this topic, because I DON'T, and help me figure out how to format bullets in 'Pages' for IPad. I turned them on somehow, and now can't turn them off, and they are popping up in all the wrong places

I think I effectively proved my point about knowing nothing about this, by posting my whole question in the title. To review, I have a 1 year old iPad, and have Pages on it for a word processing program. I somehow turned on bullets on one of my documents and can't figure out how to stop it, and they are in all the wrong places. How do I turn it off?

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

How do you battle multiple iTunes accounts on iPad? Mine is showing old/unused and my wife's account and not showing mine! Any ideas???

Every time i try to update apps my iTunes account will not appear only my old one and my wife's. I can't figure out how to fix this can anyone hel???

Apps are associated with the iTunes account used when purchasing/downloading the app from the iTunes Store. If you are both using the same iTunes Library for syncing there can only be one copy of the app in the library. When you update an app you need to provide the password for the account associated with the app.
Your options are:
1. Live with having the mix of accounts on your iPad.
2. Separate iTunes libraries for each of you, with your own purchased/downloaded apps.
3. Use only one iTunes account for both of you. This requires redownloading/repurchasing the apps under the one account.
You can see which account is associated to an app by selecting the app in iTunes on a computer and choosing Get Info from the File menu. The details are in the Summary tab.

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.
Mark

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.

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.

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!!
