How to change highlight color in Pages for iPad?

Is there any way to do this? I know i can highlight selected text, but there is no option for choosing the color. It's always yellow and I would really like to highlight my text with many different colors.

It looks like the Highlight (background) color can only be yellow.
The best work around I can find is to change the text color itself which may work like a highlight of the text (like red, green or blue) which makes it stand out. Maybe that will help?
Format Inspector (the brush) > Style > Touch the Size and Font item > Color > swipe to see options.
Note even there you can't go beyond predefined colors but you can make text stand out.

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 change sentence Case in Pages for ios

Hi,
does anyone anyone know how to change sentence case in Pages for IPad.
I Mean from UPPER CASE TO lower case.

The IOS version of Pages has no Format > Font > Capitalization facility to transform uppercase text into other case forms. You need to use Pages v5.2.2 on OS X, or export to Word, and use most any other Word compatible word processor. If it is a couple of words, then retype them in the appropriate case.

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?

Highlighting text in Pages for ipad?

Is it coming or did I just waste 10 bucks? I need to be able to highlight corrections on students assignments... Changing font colors is used for one type of correction, and highlighting is for another type of grammatical correction.

Since no one seems to be jumping in with any suggestions here, I am going to make a few comments.
First, I don't have Pages for iOS, because I only have an iPod Touch, and I wouldn't want to try editing a Page document on that. So I can't test anything.
Since Pages for Mac supports highlighting as a character style, it is quite possible that Pages for iOS also supports it, but lacks a way to create it. If that is the case, you can create a document on a Mac using the highlighting styles you want, import that document to your iPad, and copy the style from that document to apply to the corrections in the student assignments.

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.

How to change highlight color for menus?

What controls the highlight color used for Firefox menus? ... like Find, Print and About ... the main menus.
I used the Stratiform Plug-in to change my font color to blue and now it's exactly the same as the highlight color ... so highlighting makes the entry's text invisible.
I want my highlight color to be YELLOW only, regardless of any theme I might use.

Good idea ... but (in XP) the color for Selected Items only affects Windows menu entries. It looks like some other setting affects the Firefox ones. I've attached a couple of captures to show what I'm seeing.
Thanks for trying.

How to change the color of radius for point features

Hi forum
When using the addPointFeature() in MapViewer, you can specify a double[] radius a parameter to get a circle drawn around the point. Problem is, this circle is always red, I can't find any way to change the color to black or other color.
Is there any way to do this? I'm looking for some way to add a circle "feature" like addPolygonFeature. I also tried to add define a marker circle style and add it to a PolygonFeature, but this doesn't seem to work. Any better way to do this?
Thanks,
Jacob

Hi Jacob,
what you have tried won't work. You are just rendering a marker on the center of the polygon coordinates. The corrdinates array must be the circle points, and the style should be a line style (if you want just to draw the circle border) or a fill (color for example) style.
// build coordinates with circle points
mv.addPolygonFeature(coordinates, 0, "line_style", null, null, true);
The number of points on the circle may depend on your zoomlevel, and will depend on your application.
There is another way to generate this circle, and you won't need to care about the circle points. You could try to use the sdo_geom.sdo_buffer to generate the circle around the point clicked. Basically you need to create a jdbc theme with a SQL statement having the buffer method. For example you can try this request using MapViewer web page and the demo data set.
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_request
             title="Oracle LBS MAP"

How to change highlight color in Preview quickly?

I do a lot of reading and annotating of PDFs using Preview. While I love just about everything about this program, my only complaint (if it could be called that) is that I can't figure out a quick way to cycle through the highlight colors without using the palette drop-down. Has anyone figured out a clever way to hotkey the colors for the highlighting annotation tool?

yorkait wrote:
You simply create new keyboard shortcuts for the Preview application (in system preferences). And set the shortcuts to "Red", "Yellow", and so on. This works because the contextual menu with the color is labelled this way. I binded all colors on Shift + Command + *letters from the first left hand side rows of keys*. Very handy.
(Now if someone figured out how to customize the default colors I would be eternally grateful.)
Great thanks, I didn't realize you could do that for those kind of menus as well until about a month ago when David Sparks showed doing that for Mail accounts. I have been using the assignable key commands since they added that in Tiger. I ended up doing something so much more complicated using Keymon and Size up to move the mouse and position the document on screen.
Thanks again I will add this and use this all the time!

How to change highlight color of PDF texts to the standard golden yellow on Preview app?

I use the Preview app to read my PDF books. I also read these same books on my iPad. When I read my books, I like to highlight the text. I'm used to highlight my text with the standard golden yellow on my iPad. When I use Preview, the only choice of yellow color I've found is a somewhat orange yellow that's called "yellow". Besides that, I see only 5 highlight options. Anyway, I'd like to highlight my text on Preview with the standard golden yellow, the same color that is available in almost all PDF editing apps. Anyway, how can I highlight my pdf texts with the standard golden yellow on the Mac Preview app?!

Here is a picture to show the difference between the standard golden yellow (above) and the mac preview called yellow (below - looks like orange to me).
Is there a way to highlight the pdf texts on Preview app in the golden yellow color, shown above?

How do i change chart colors in Keynote for iPad?

Is there a way to change a color manually, instead of relying on the theme? It repeats colors after five items in the data set, which makes it very difficult to interpret.

Finally figured it out!
1) Set a Background color of choice
2) Click on the upper right color box, adjacent to "Background" label
3) Drag color from the "Current Fill" box to any of the "Color Fills" boxes below

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.
