Pages for iPad--different first page

I haven't been able to find a way in Pages for iPad to create a different first page for headers and footers. Is it possible?

So I'm really glad I found this conversation and I think I can help at least to find a temporary solution until Apple fixes this issue with pages for iPad.  I had the same question and it seems that, in general, those of us that are upset with the lack of this feature are trying to abide by the APA guidelines for running headers.  What I did is I went onto pages on my iMac desktop and created a template document with the headers set up in APA format.  From there I retrieved the document on the iPad through dropbox (or icloud) and the change was made.  Now, everytime I go to write something in APA on pages for the iPad I start with this template and I don't have to worry about setting up the headers as they are ready to go. I am recommending this because not only does it serve as an easy starting point for writer's in APA fields, it also guarantees that an authors work is consistent in its formating and style.  No longer will you have to struggle with the subtle nuances of document design.  Just make a template!

  • Is pages for ipad different to pages for mac

    I have pages on my ipad. Do I have to purchase another copy for my Mac?

    Yes you do. They are different applications, and you will need to purchase the Mac version through the AppStore.

  • Pages 5.5 different first page template

    Hello,
    In Pages 4.3 I was able to create a template with different first page header and footer (just create 2 page document, manage headers and footers, then delete body text and save as template).
    Well, in Pages 5.5 I have problem with that. OK, it is possible to create different first page with different header and footer, BUT how to save blank, one page document with predefined headers and footers, and to save as template, just like in ver. 4.3?
    Thank you

    I don't know if you can achieve what you want in Pages v5, and if you could, what would the time to solution cost? As Pages ’09 v4.3 works nicely on Yosemite, I would use that version, and dually future-proof with exports to MS Word format. Have a good backup strategy.
    Countless people, either new to Pages, expecting MS Word, or Pages ’09 functionality, have lost years of productivity trying to make Pages v5 into a majestic bird, when it was designed as pork.
    Pages v5 and later (5.5) is a simple subtraction problem.  As a brand new application in Oct 2013, Apple added everything, but Pages ’09 functionality. They have consistently kept it that way, including the 5.5 update for Yosemite, whose document architecture is not backwards compatible with Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks.
    If you accidentally/deliberately opened a Pages ’09 document in Pages v5, it will silently remove what it does not support, and then autosave the translated document, making it incompatible with Pages ’09. Some Pages ’09 templates, and the ability to sustain their layout, are gone in Pages 5.

  • Different first page from another

    Hi All,
    I am creating one report using RTF format and want to show some data on the header area except first page. I tried MS word functionality (Page setup -> layout-different first page), it works fine using XML desktop but when i load this report into application and try to run this report. Report shows header area for all pages including first page.
    Can any one tell me that how we can show header area except first page of report?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi
    You might have a mismatch btw your server version and desktop version. Run the report to PDF on both platforms and check the document properties, under the Created by entry it will say XMLP Version X.X.X. Ensure the server version is the same or higher than the desktop version

  • 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.

  • Pages for iPad2. Regarding headers, is there a way to have a different first page in a document?

    I don't think that iBooks offers animation for page turning pdfs. But all iOS devices use gestures for turning pages etc.
    iBooks in Mavericks is turning out to be as big a pain as iWork in Maverick.

  • Where did strikethrough go? unable to find strikethrough button on Pages for ipad in version1.5, HELP!

    unable to find strikethrough button S on Pages for ipad in version1.5, HELP!
    look! and what's that dot thing?

    The following query runs for 10 mins on tbl with 1 mill records on sql server 2012 RTM, and for 1.5 min on sql server 2012 build 3128.
    Significant differences in duration are usually due to different plans.  As Olaf suggested, comparing the plans is a good first step.  Assuming the plans are different, I wouldn't be too quick to assume the difference is related to the software
    build.  Different plans are often due to differences in the row count estimates used to generate the plan so make sure the same indexes and statistics exist in the databases and that stats are fully up-to-date.
    What is the purpose of the WHERE clause? It seems to me it will return all rows anyway.

  • I would like to know if once you have bought Pages for ipad you must buy it for I mac too.

    Hi everybody! My name's Davide and it is the first time here for me.

    The Mac & iOS Numbers are two separate applications for two different operating systems. You need to buy both, but only once for each OS.

  • 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.

  • Text formatting in Pages for iPad 2

    I am trying to apply text formattting within a document in pages.  It will not allow me to format text within a sentence to bold or italics for specific words.  The fonts in question do have these formats as options, but pressing the corresponding format button does nothing.  I can change the style to lists, etc.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Image quality in Pages for iPad

    Hello!
    I'm editing a new book in Pages (OS X). It has several high quality images.
    I need to edit the same file in Pages for iPad. I use iCloud, so the file will be synced.
    I'm worried about the QUALITY of all my images. I'm affraid Pages for iPad will DECREASE the quality of my images; then, when re-opening the file in my iMac, I could have images with less resolution. Is this true? Could it happen or the quality will be PRESERVED?
    Thank you!

    Good question!
    From my rough testing of round tripping a Document and checking the size in the Share Export Page option it looks as if it maintains the Origanal Document size. Even after it has been Editted on both an iPad and Desktop. Hope this helped
    There is also the option to check the Document size under the Inspector, first Tab then the last Button (Info) I think you have to Save the Document first before "Show File Info" becomes active

    No, you have to buy the OSX version for your MacBook Pro from the Mac App Store.
    Pages for iPad (iOS) is different than Pages for Mac (OSX).
