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?

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 make address book in Pages

How to prepare an Address Book in a Pages document?

Probably the best way is just to type straight text into a plain Word Processing template with tabs between the items.
This can be turned into a table very easily by selecting it all:
Menu > Format > Table > Convert Text to Table
To hide table cells:
Select the table > Table > Table > Cell borders > click on the line > None
I do recommend for longer term use it would be better to fill in your addresses into Address Book/Contacts where it can be used everywhere.

How to sync Address Book TO Outlook for Mac 2011

I am using the native Address Book from Mac OS 10.7.5 and need to keep using it because it syncs with my iPhone. However, I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and want the contacts to synch from Mac Address Book to Outlook's contact list.
Synch services have been turned on in Outlook.
Originally, I was going to switch to Mac Mail but discovered that importing mail from Outlook is a headache (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=0&tstart=0). Outlook works well and has for years so rather than going through a bunch of manual drag and dropping of folders to make mbox files, or buying software to do it, I thought getting the contacts to synch would suffice since that's all that's really needed.
What I discovered is that Outlook will feed new contacts to Mac Address Book when they are generated in Outlook but the Mac Address Book does not feed new contacts to Outlook if they were generated in Address Book. Is this even possible? If so, how?
Thanks,
Karen
I read this previous thread but it talks about contact info going FROM Outlook to Address Book instead of the other way around: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=30&tstart=0

I've got Outlook up and running just fine. Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update. Apparently that has been an ongoing issue. I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that. I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook. Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync. Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while.

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.

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 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.

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.

How to add Chinese fonts to Pages for iPad

I only have one Chinese font on Pages, can I add more?

You can try. See
http://m10lmac.blogspot.com/2014/01/app-to-add-fonts-to-ios-devices.html
but I think there may be a size limit and Chinese fonts may be too big. Let us know if it works for you.

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 can I disable ligatures in Pages for iPad?

This has been driving my crazy all day!
In the Courier New font, pages combines the lower case letters "fl" into a single character. This is causing huge problems as I pass my manuscript between my pc and iPad, printing from whichever device is most handy at the moment.
This ligature is ugly and is causing anything printed from the iPad to print up a few lines shorter than the sme text printed from my PC because of the space "saved" by combining f and l into a single glyph.
I've been trying to use the iPad's Courier font, which doesn't have the ligature, but it's a much bolder font and up more black ink.

That is very odd behavior, as ligatures are really undesirable in that kind of font. I don't think there is any way to stop it. Let Apple know:

(If you got a different text of my response by email, I changed it because that one was erroneous)

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.
