Meter squared symbol in pages for iPad

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know how to make the meter squared symbol in Pages for iPad? I cant find away to push the 2 up.
Thanks
Tom

Thanks. In a document in Pages on my iPad, if I press the + symbol, I am given various insert options like tables, graphic boxes and 'animatable' lines, which can be adjusted. Top left says 'text' which is obviously a text box. However my friend has an arrow option next to the word 'text' which allows him to import a thin arrow which can be rotated to point in any direction in his document (useful for pointing one area of text to another.
I don't have this option; just the 'fixed' block arrows which appear below as options. My version of Pages is the latest and my iPad is very new.
Thanks.

  • Logical symbols in pages for IPad? Asking for help

    I have a new IPad and I would like to define logical symbols on my keyboard (just like ą, ę and so on). Is there some way to do it and to use it in PAGES for IPad? I would prefer to have few math symbols defined directly under some bottoms and not to use copy/paste. (I tried to find in Pages for IPad some special characters, but there are no such things, perhaps it is possible to add it?) I have also small separated keybord (perhaps this could be somehow used...?)

    Afraid you cannot define custom characters for any keyboard in the iPad. What accented characters there are can be shown by holding the appropriate letter down.

  • How to use  font Symbol and Zapfdingbats. in Pages for iPad

    Pages for ipad has font options of Symbol and Zapf Dingbats.  I would like to use one of these fonts to place arrows in lines of text. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using IOS6 and ipad 3

    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.

  • Formatting first-paragraph indent in Pages for iPad

    I've read the instructions in Pages for iPad's help, which instructs users to highlight a paragraph or paragraphs and then drag the first-line indentation symbol to the desired indent. However, I'm unable to get the first-line indent symbol to move independently of the left paragraph margin symbol. I must be missing something. Is there a source that explains these procedures in greater detail? I would also like to be able to set up a template with this paragraph indentation, but obviously need to figure out how to indent first.

    James,
    Thanks for the suggestion to use a stylus. I just tried that and you're right that it *sometimes* works, maybe about 25 percent of the time in the past few minutes I've been experimenting with the technique. My problem is that I need to indent precisely for documents that will be saved as Word .docx files. I can't believe that Pages for iPad apparently relegates this important feature solely by sliding and not allowing us to open a window and set the indents numerically.
    If it's any consolation, Word for iPad seems just as bad.  :-)

    Since Word for iPad requires an Office 365 subscription, I would say worse .
    Honestly, it take a little practice. another option might be to start with a different template that includes paragraph indentions. A couple of the built-in templates do, and there are other savailable in the app store.

  • Disable "undo" button in pages for iPad

    Hi!
    Is there any way to disable the "undo" button that appears in the on-screen keyboard in Pages for iPad? I can't count the number of times I have been furiously typing away when I accidentally hit that and undid paragraph upon paragraph of work! Of course by the time I realized what happened, I had already typed more and trying to "redo" is not an option.
    In lieu of that, if there is any way to disable the "undo" feature altogether?
    Thanks!

    +1 ... I really don't even see the point of this button, when does one write a page of information and decide "it sure would be helpful to have an undo button next to the period symbol right about now"?  Isn't that what "select all" and "backspace" are for?

  • 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 I create a new paragraph Style in Pages for iPad?

    I opened an RTF document in iOS 6 Pages for iPad. How do I create new paragraph Syles?

    Style is a function of the template applied to the document (and/or the limited number built in to Pages). You can mofify the text or apply one of the built in styles, but I do not beleive within Pages in iOS you can create a new style.

  • How do I add footnotes/endnotes in Pages for iPad 2?

    Hi everyone. Like many people I was super excited to be able to use my iPad 2 as a word processor with the Pages app. I have a macbook black from 2007 and it is extremely heavy to carry around everyone. I'm a graduate student so mobility for me is key.  Anyway, so I am writing an academic paper write now in Pages for iOS but I can't figure out how to add footnotes/endnotes to cite my sources. I can't find anything online relating to this topic. Can you tell me how to do this? I certainly hope Pages has this capability because without something so fundamental, how can it be the least bit useful? Thanks so much!

    It is not built in, but you can at least create and edit footnotes (I do not use end notes, but from limited testing, it appears to work with endnotes as well but converts them to footnotes). It sounds complicated when you break it down into steps as I do below, but it really is easy and intuitive.
    FIRST: The underlying concept. If you have the latest Pages for iPad, then when it imports a Word document it imports footnotes (and endnotes) and you can edit them.
    With that in mind, here is how you can create footnotes on the iPad.
    #1 In Word create a one short sentence shell text with a short footnote, like "See the cat run /fn1" "fn/1 The cat was black").
    #2 Import that shell document into your iPad, say with email "open using Pages."
    #3 Save that shell document as your sour dough starter so to speak.
    #4 Now create your new Pages iPad document.
    #5 When you are ready to create your FIRST new footnote, copy and paste the shell sentence with shell footnote from your saved starter shell document into your new iPages document.
    #5. Edit the shell sentence and footnote to a real sentence and footnote in new document.
    #6 Thereafter, as you add new footnotes, either copy / paste one from new document or shell and edit. You will see they renumber properly, even when moved.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • 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.
