Spellcheck for Pages

I need Pages to spellcheck for UK not US

I wish to have English UK as the default. I'm surprised that it defaulted to American when I'm resident in Ireland and purchased online through my Apps store which usually is Country specific and should have selected British spellings for everything.
I've found some info about Information / Text / More and selecting the language but this doesn't change the default. Also, I'm syncing with Pages on my iPad which doesn't seem to have any language settings....
Thanks for any help you can give,
George.

  • Training Spellcheck for acronyms

    Can someone point me to Apple's guidance for training Spellcheck?
    In iOS 7, one could train spellcheck to recognize acronyms by, e.g., typing 'My Story (MS)' so that when you subsequently typed 'ms' it would appear as 'MS'.
    In iOS 8, this works occasionally only and often forgets. (Similarly, training QuickType by selecting text and double-tapping the shift key to get 'all caps' suggestions, is tedious and works only some of the time.) I have tried a number of methods but only with partial success along various paths.
    How does one train the spellchecker for acronyms in iOS 8?

  • Spellcheck on pages

    hello
    im finding that the spellcheck on pages isn't picking up any of my spelling mistakes, the auto complete function is working but if i were to accidentally type 'thhis, it does not pick up on it... does anyone know how to fix this?
    i have enabled the spellcheck function in the tools section and re installed the app but it is still not working, can anyone help me?
    kind regards

    The solution is for APPLE to fix the broken software.
    The issue here is that we have a documented feature that isn't working.  The way it should work is
    Check spelling:
    Tap in the toolbar, and then tap Settings.
    Slide Check Spelling to ON.
    Misspelled words in your document are underlined in red. In many cases, Pages can suggest an alternative spelling. To learn more, see “Look up a word,” below.
    Look up a word:
    Double-tap the word you want to look up.
    Tap More, and then do one of the following:
    Tap Definition to learn the meaning of the word.
    Tap Replace to see suggested spellings, and then tap the spelling you want to use.
    On my iPad 2 (same it seems as everyone who posted on this) the Definition works but the Spelling doesn't
    COME ON APPLE - Step up to the mark, admit you have a fault and fix it !!  In any case stop advertising Pages for the iPad as "...the most powerful word processor ever made for a mobile device."  The way it works right now the word processor on my old Compaq iPaq was much more poweful.....

    It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

  • Can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

    can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

    Hi lmdavis72,
    It looks like you can.
    From "iCloud: Documents in the Cloud overview"
    You can download a document from icloud.com/iwork to your Mac or Windows computer, edit it, and then drag the revised version to icloud.com/iwork. It’s then automatically updated on all of your iOS devices. You can also drag an iWork ’09 (Keynote, Pages, and Numbers) or Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel) document created on your computer to icloud.com/iwork.
    So it looks like it can go between iOS devices and your iMac.

  • How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please.  Thanks

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
    Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

    i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

    In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE! Thank god Pages 09 is still there.

    …and the other 98 missing features.
    Just use Pages '09, which should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

  • HT5534 I  DOWNLOADED SOME UPDATE FOR PAGES, AND NOW MY OLD DOCUMENTS CANNOT  BE OPENED UNLESS I  BUY THE NEW PAGES APPLICATION.   THIS *****,  I HAVE WORK TO DO NOW AND AM NOT INTERESTED IN AN UPGRADE.

    I  downloaded some upgrade for pages, (not the new version for $19.95) now my computer will not open previous pages documents on my desktop without me buying the new version.  I am not interested in the new version as I have seen numerous negative comments.  I  simply want my system to work as it did before Apple pulled this trick to force me into buying the new pages.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I have work to do !

    You are aware that Pages for Mac and Pages for iPad /iPhone/iPod are 2 different program?
    Looks like you have Pages for Apple mobile devices but not for your Mac.
    If that's the case
    Pages for Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12
    Pages for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8

  • On settings if you activate use iCloud for Pages, then when you try to open Pages (on both iphone 5 and iPad3) the program quits instantly.

    Pages does not work properly if you choose to use ICloud in Settings in both the iphone 5 and Ipad 3. In fact when you click open, Pages opens momentarily and then Quits. If you de-activate use ICloud for pages in Settings then the program works but you cannot access icloud.

    Thanks David for your suggestion. However I tried this before I submitted my problem but to no avail. I think the problem could be in iCloud interface with Pages! Hope apple would look into this soon!

  • Maximum file size for Pages

    What is the maximum file size recommended by Apple for Pages documents.
    Yes this question was asked in 2009.  However it was not answered.
    It is not feasible to break a document into different files when the purpose is to submit a book for publication on CreateSpace, One PDF file must be submitted.
    So, does anyone know the recommendation from Apple, because I cannot find it.  Or, has anyone successfully worked with 400 MB files or larger (image intensive)?

    You haven't said what version of Pages.
    The question in 2009 would have been for Pages '09. It has problems with very large sizes. Where exactly the problems start probably has not so much to do with file size in Mbs as in layout complexity.
    Going on experience here, I wouldn't cut Pages 5 that much slack, particularly as anything in a Pages 5 document is only good so long as you can still open it in Pages 5.2.

  • What is the maximum file size for Pages?

    Hi,
    What is the maximum number of pages and maximum file size that I can have for Pages document?
    Thank you.

    chessmagnet,
    As a practicality in a large document it pays to break it up into sections in different documents with the numbering carrying on from the last one.
    Assemble the final document at the end when you need to create a T.O.C. and any hyperlinks.
    Several users have reported being unable to save very large files and other problems.
    It is a good safety measure anyway and as Yvan says it will work faster.
