Question pertaining to Pages for IPad

I accidentally selected undo several times on a document on pages for the Ipad. Is there a way to redo all changes to the Pages document that will allow you to go back to the original document prior to selecting the undo option?  Currently the bulk of my document is gone and I am unable to retrieve it.  Microsoft generally allows you to redo everything, it appears like pages doesn't have that option.  Any assistance would be very much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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

  • In Pages for iPad, I couldn't wrap text(Chinese characters) around the image

    Hi, a question about Pages for iPad. I wrote some words with Chinese characters and then inserted a image from the Camera Roll. The problem is that I couldn't wrap words around the photo. I tried again wrote some words in English and it's ok for wrapping. Why did this happen?

    From the help section in the Pages app ....
    Anchor or free an object to or from its surrounding text:
    Select the object, tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
    In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
    To make an object move with the flow of text, slide “Move with Text” to ON.To make an object remain stationary, unaffected by changes in the surrounding text flow, slide “Move with Text” to OFF.
    Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
    Wrap text around an object:
    Select the object and tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
    In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
    Tap a wrap option to select it.Automatic optimizes text wrap for you, depending on the size and position of the object, and the width of the text column. Text wraps around an object, unless there’s very little space around the sides, in which case the text flows only above and below the object. Around lets you customize the text wrap around the sides, without automatic optimization. Above and Below allows text lines only above and below the object.
    Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
    This works for me. Restart your iPad if this does not work for you.

  • Creating a soft return in Pages for iPad

    I would really like to create a space between numbered items in Pages but I can't figure out how to do it.  Does anyone know how to create a soft return in Pages for iPad.

    I guess that we could ask that question about a few different things Apple related.
    I'm glad that you got the hang of it.

  • How do I avoid importing MS Word file duplicates in Pages for Ipad 2?

    How do I avoid importing MS Word file duplicates in Pages for Ipad 2?

    Hi Cabrinii,
    The sign on the door is a bit misleading, and you're not the first (or even the first in the last hour or so) to come to this Pages (Mac version) forum to ask a question about Pages for iOS.
    Not many of us use iPad, so your question will be better served in the iWork for iOS community. The link will take you there.

  • 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!

  • 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 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).

    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.
