Tabs in Pages on an iPad

How do I remove a hanging indent in Pages? It will not disappear by dragging it off of the ruler.

Don't worry; important thing is you get your new tab

Is there a way to format the background of a document in Pages on my iPad

I am wondering if there is a way, using Pages on the iPad, to format background color. I have a document that I want to use a dark blue background on with white fonts over. I can do it in Microsoft Word but it looses the background when it comes into Pages as well.
Thanks!

To change the document background color in Pages for iOS do the following:
1. Tap the Tools Menu (wrench) > Document Setup
2. In the Document Setup view tap the Insert Menu ("+") in upper right and select a colored rectangle
3. Position the colored rectangle to cover the entire page
4. With the rectangle selected, tap the Styles Menu (brush) > Styles to select a style of rectangle and any options such as color.
Note: You can also apply an image to the background in a similar manner using the media tab of the Insert Menu - adjust the opacity using the Style Menu > Styles > Style Options.
5. When done, tap Done to return to your document.
Good Luck.

How do I upload files onto Pages on my iPad?

How do I upload files onto pages on my iPad?

You can email them to yourself and then open them in Pages by using the "open in" option in the mail app when you are viewing the attachment, you can use DropBox, or you can use iOS file sharing.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side of iTunes under "Devices" in order to select it. Click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right. Find the Pages App in the list of File Sharing apps under the main list of apps and click on it. Then drag the files from your desktop that you want to move into the document sharing window on the right - next to the the Pages app. You can also use the Add button and navigate to the documents that way to select them. Sync your iPad if you choose to do so and then eject it when the sync completes.
Launch the Pages app and then click on the + in the upper left corner to add a document. Select - Copy from iTunes and a window will pop up with a list of all of the documents that you dragged into the window on the computer when the iPad was connected to iTunes. Select the document from there.
This article explains if for you as well.

Cannot get a home page on my iPad!

I have gone through setup for iPad (twice). My email has been verified and I was able to sign up for the discussions, but I cannot get a home page on the iPad. I also cannot get my serial number to contact support. This is my first experience with an Apple product and I am very frustrated. I'm writing this from my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean set a Starting page for Safari, then you can't. Safari will open up on the last page you browsed. If you close all tabs before exiting, it will jsut open to the gray screen. From there you can search using the google search at the top left of the address bar, or simply enter an address in the address bar.

This can be easily obtained by flipping the iPad over and looking at the fine text at the bottom of the backside.
The Serial number is printed there.
Alternatively going into Settings->Geneal->About will have the serial number in the list of things about the iPad.
If you are finding it difficult to navigate around the iPad, perhaps setting up an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store may be usefull. As they have Usage classes you can take.

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

Problem with Pages on the iPad 2.

Hi all,
I have been having a strange problem with Pages on the iPad that I hope someone can find a solution for.
As a writer, I find that Pages on the iPad is a very good solution to my problem of needing something small and light to transport around, whilst still allowing me to do some serious writing. I use the Apple 3 battery bluetooth keyboard, and this gives me a superb working solution.
I started using the iPad 2 to do my second book and for the first 40,000 words everything was fine. But as I started going back and forth with the cursor keys, editing passages in the book, I noticed that the cursor position did not match up with the I beam cursor on screen. As it transitioned between pages it would loose it's corresponding position and the entry point for new text could be up to six characters in either direction.
Now this is not a problem if you enter a new page, as there is nothing beyond it, but in the majority of cases it is a major problem when going back over your work and editing it. I have to manually reset the start position of every new page so as to garantee the typing will go where I want it to.
Now I thought at first this was something to do with Bluetooth keyboard, but after using the onscreen keyboard and the find and replace function, I have noticed that it loses it's position in the document in a similar way. I have included a screen shot of it finding a problem I was searching for. In this case it is ", and" to be replaced with "and," or "and". Clearly in the image you can see that it is not happy and is not selecting the right things, if I replace it will replace exactly what is selected.
Has anyone else seen this problem. It seems to happen with large or small documents and I think that this is a fundamental problem with Pages on the iPad. Seeing as I can't get Apple to acknowledge this I brought it here for everyone else to check out. If we get enough voices on this, then we can make change happen.

That's right Br Abdullah, I'm finding the same problem with my itune Arabic library that I synced to iBooks version 1.5! As you say the pages are not arranged correctly.
The other problem that I'm finding is that the highlights & notes that i have made on the books on a previous version of ibooks, when synced with ibooks version 1.5, they are scattered everywhere, and sometimes in areas where there are no texts.
I left a message on the report a bug section of iBooks on the app store, and I contacted them on their feedback of apple product issues. I don't know what else we can do. It seems that no one is listening to us. I'm Dissapointed that I upgraded my iBooks version to 1.5; I was really looking forward to reading on my new iPhone 4S (on iBooks)!
What else can we do to get our concerns heared? Somebody? Anybody?

I cannot open Keynote and Pages in iPhone/iPad iOS 7

After updating to iOS 7 and iWork for iOS, I'm no loger able to use iWork for iOS when iCloud is turned on.
I've two apple accounts, one for Mexico store and another one for US store. A couple of yeard ago I purchased Numbers for iphone/ipad using MX account, and Keynote and Pages for iphone/ipad using my US account.
Before updating to iOS 7, I was able to use iCloud for keynote, numbers and pages without any problem. All my documents were backed up on the MX account in iCloud. My iphone/ipad was logged into iCloud using my MX account all the time.
After updating to iOS 7, I keep using my MX account for iCloud, but I'm no longer to open Keynote and Pages (which were purchased with my US account) when iCloud is activated for them.
What's going wrong with apple?! I think iOS 7 is very buggy and it is the worst OS they have ever make available for users!!! Can't believe the amount of errors I keep finding in most of Apple apps!!!
Please advice! Regards,

This is the discussion for Keynote for Mac.

Dynamically set Tab current pages

Heres a quick summary of the situation Ive got.
Lets say I have an application with 4 report pages. Three display some data about rows in my database. All 3 contain the column Control # which is linked to the 4th report which displays more detailed information about that Control # object.
When I click on the Control # link and go to the 4th report, I would like the Tabs current for the 4th report to match the Tabs current of the page I came from. In other words, if I clicked on the Control # link on page 1, I would like the 4th pages current tabs to match page 1s current tabs. The same goes for pages 2 and 3.
Ive tried &(some global variable). and :(some global variable) and v(some global variable) in the Tabs current pages fields but that doesnt work.
Is it possible to do what Im trying to do?

Reports 1, 2 & 3 all exist in individual two tab pages. Pages 1 & 2 would have the same parent tab and their own sub tab. Page 3 would have its own parent tab. When in those pages the appropriate tabs are 'current'. When I click on Control # on any page and go to page 4, I would like the source pages tabs to stay 'current' when displaying page 4.
By the way, my actual application has in the neighborhood of a dozen pages which are like reports 1,2,& 3 as I described above. Rather than build a dozen identical (with the exception of current tabs) page 4's, I would rather build one page 4 and dynamically set page 4's current tab to the source page's current tab.
It's a visual reminder to the user as to which page they were on when they clicked the Control # field.
I also have 8 - 10 SVG charts which I have linked to reports. About 6 of them display the same report using different parameters. Again, I would like THAT report to have the same current tab as the source chart (chart clicked on to invoke the report).

Mailing Pages files from iPad 2

I want to send files from my iPad 2 to my laptop and destop Macs. Both are older, still running Snow Leopard. My process was to go to the document in Pages on the iPad, choose Send a Copy, choose Pages as the format, and then mail it to my account and open it on one of the other machines. The attachment, even a very short pages file, appears as a zip file but can't be opened with Stuffit expander or simply by clicking. There is an error message saying that the file can't be opened because the required index.xml file is missing. Can it really be true that you can't share a file in the same program between two Apple devices? I can send a Pages document TO the iPad and open it with no problem, but not the other way around. I thought I had been able to do it before, but maybe not, or else something has changed with updates to the OS.
I discovered that if I choose to create a PDF file, I can open that and then copy and paste the text into a Pages file. That's a workaround, but it still seems wrong that I can't simply send and open a Pages file. Is there a trick?

Do you have "use iCloud" turned on on the iPad? (in settings)
And on your computer, If you open iCloud and turn on Documents and data?
This will auto sync your Pages documents between the devices each time you open pages.
I can work on a document on one device. Open and print on another. Each time I open pages the documents all update.

Can I change the background on each page of the iPad?

I know how to set home screen and lock screen, but was wondering if there is a way to change the background to each page on the iPad. I am a teacher and would like each page to have a background set to a specific picture or word so my students know which page they use on a particular day. Is this possible? If so, can someone walk me through it?

No - you can only have one background picture which applies to all homescreens

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

I bought and downloaded Pages on my iPAD- why can't I seem to use it on my iMAC? Isn't there a way to simply share the app?

I bought and downloaded PAGES on my iPAD. Why can't I seem to use it on my iMAC? Isn't there a simple way to just share it from my iPAD to my iMAC?

As stevejobsfan said. But also if your profile is correct and you are running system 10.7 on your iMac, you will not have much portability between the two either. Think of them as 2 different programs that just happen to have the same name.
OS 10.9 Mavericks' version of Pages has greater compatibility with the app version of it. But there are a lot of consequences to moving to Mavericks which should not be done lightly. Read around a bit on it before making any decision to upgrade.

How can I use Dropbox with pages for the iPad?

TO make a long story short, a thunderstorm fried my desktop iMac which was the computer I was sharing my Pages documents with. I don't have an AirPrint compatible printer and I need to be able to print documents that I create in Pages. Since it might be 6 months or more before we can replace the old computer, I would like to use DropBox to share files between my windows computers and the ones at where I volunteer. I was told that Pages for the iPad was compatible so how can I make this work for me?

Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad?

Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad? I'm trying to set up a document with quick check boxes to tick and a date to choose rather than type? I know it possible to do it on pages on a mac but i haven't been able to find anything on the ipad to create such a thing, and I don't know if it will work on the ipad if I create it on the mac

RGA,
Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).
