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.
Send feedback/suggestions to Apple.

Also, I read that Microsoft may soon provide and Office version for Apple's iDevices.
Also, look at the Rccharles answer on this post.

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.

Table of content in Pages for iPad 2

Hi,
I can not find how to create a Table of Content in Pages. Do you know how?

Nearly one year later....
The iOS version of Pages does not include an automatic Table of Contents feature. Which unfortunately makes Pages pretty much useless for my purposes. A TOC functions amongst others as a dynamic outline of a book and is as essential to me as page numbering. Why something so important and basic is not included in ios Pages is a mystery to me.

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 can I change the thickness of the cell border of a table in Pages for iPad ?

Hi,
i want to change the thickness of cell borders in tables in Pages for iPad to at least 2pt, better 3pt.
How can I change the thickness in the iOS Version of Pages ?
Thanks

In ur table call this
ColorRenderer cell=new ColorRender();
// for(int i=0;i<table.getModel().getColumnCount();i++){
// TableColumn mod=this.getColumn((this.getModel().getColumnName(i)));
mod.setCellRenderer(cell);
And ur ColorRender calss should override DefaultTableCellRenderer like this

public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,

Merging table elements on Pages for iPad

Hi;
Is there a way to merge cells in Tables in Pages for iPad. For example merge few cells to apply text heading to cells below.
Thanks
Rich Basecki

Hi,
I had the same problem. But I think I found the solution. All you need to do is the choose the first the cell that you want to merge then tap on the tool icon the one that looks like a wren. There will be two dots on the top left and bottom right of the cell. Now you can drag as many cells that you want to merge. Next tap in the cell and choose merge. The selected cells will merge.
Hope this helps.

I prepare chronologies in word, and i am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But somtimes i need a cell to wrap onto the next page but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I prepare chronologies in word, and I am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But sometimes I need a cell to wrap onto the next page because the contents are bigger than the page or the space left on the page, but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

What are the different opinions on why pages should not achieve this?
As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
In Pages (or Numbers)
- we can't sort a single column
- we can't sort by row
- we can't insert or remove a single cell
- a cell can't cross pages boundaries
If I understand well these design choices match :

Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
Apply the 80 Percent Solution
During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

Place image in table cell in pages for iOS 5

Can I place an image into a table cell in pages for iphone? This would keep me from having to take my expensive MBA out on the dangerous (for the computer) jobsite. It would change my life to be able to do this on the iphone as my reports require it. As of yet I've found no way to do this.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Put the text cursor in the cell and use the regual Place command. The image will be placed as an inline graphic in the empty paragraph.

How to put pictures inside the table in Pages for IPad?

How can I put pictures inside the table in Pages for IPad? I can do that in Pages in my macbook, but I can't in IPad.

It would appear that unless you are working from a document that already had section breaks (or the equivilent) ,you can't. I have some files in pages that began as MS Word documents with multiple sections that allow that by tapping on the footer (or header) and making the change. Files created in Pages (or from other sources but without section beaks) do not.

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.

Will there be an update in Pages for ipad that will allow for sub scripts and superscripts

I am a chemistry professor who loves to work on the ipad. The problem I have is that the mathematics I use and chemical equations is use in my writings need both super scripts and subscripts. I would love to use my ipad for this, but presently, the only way I can do this is with a third party app that allows me to create the formulas and the paste them in the document I am working on. Will there be an update to Pages for ipad that will allow subscripts and super scripts. I would love to move away from my Office 2010, but the support is not there yet.

We cannot speculate about future Apple products. We know no more about this than you do at this time.
You can suggest it to Apple at Apple Feedback.

Changing Document Title in Pages for iPad and VoiceOver

Is there a trick to changing the name of the document in Pages for iPad when voiceover is enabled. I can change the document name when voiceover is turned off but there doesn't seem to be away of getting to the label when voiceover is turned on.

What makes this difficult is that I can export the documents in PDF format, but then I cannot view them in Pages on the iPad as they cannot be uploaded into iCloud and Pages cannot access documents in other cloud storage sites. Pages uses the Word templates best.
I've considered Quickoffice, but don't want to spend the $$ on an app that may not work.
I've even thought about Team Viewer and accessing the documents on my Mac at home, but why remote access another computer just to view native files?
Thanks for the responses.

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password that goes with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my doc?

Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document. I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password associated with the hint. Is there anything I can do to access my document? i quite the Pages app and restarted it. Now I guess I'll reset the iPad and see if that helps. Thanks!

Interesting that one does not need the password to delete using Finder.
The Pages password protects the contents of the document. If there were a Finder password, it would protect what you might think of as the "file wrapper" ... the stuff around the file content.
Glad it's not vital. I have to say I only pasword protect those Pages documents that are, in fact, vital.
Best of luck.
