How to: Subscripts and superscripts in Pages for iPad?

Thanks.
Best Regards

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 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.

Tables and cells in Pages for iPad

I am using Pages for iPad. I am writing in a table and when I write a large content in a cell, it desappears on the bottom of the page.
Is there any way to make the cell to split automatically when it reaches the bottom of the page?
Thank you for your answers.

You could send your need to Apple and maybe they will add it.

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.

Search and replace in Pages for ipad

Does Pages do this? Or anything else in the app store?

Try this:
Turn on Show Invisibles in the View menu.
Select (highlight) the double para breaks.
Use Command-E (Find using selected text).
Open the Find dialogue box (Command-F) and select Find & Replace.The selected para breaks will be in the Find text entry box, but will not be visible!
Click in the Replace text entry box.
Select (highlight) a single para break.
Go to the Edit menu / Find and select 'Use selection for replace' (it will not show in the Replace entry box).
In the Find & Replace dialogue box, click on the Forward or Back arrows to highlight the selected items (e.g. double para break) where you wish to start replacing in the document.
Use the Replace All / Replace & Find / Replace buttons as per usual.
Not a nice solution, but I hope it gets you going until Apple restores the previous functionality!

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.

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.

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 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.
