Text Wrapping in Pages for iPad

I have an iPad 2 and have started using Pages.  I already have several lines of text and have inserted a normal rectangular image.  I can't get the text to wrap around the image the way I would like.  Currently, I can only get the text to go above and below the image.  I would like the text to wrap around the sides as well.  I have tapped on the information button and selected Wrap then changed it to "Around."  No matter what different options I try, I can't get the text to wrap all the way around the image, only above and below. 
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Text wrapping on Pages for iPad

    When viewing documents on Pages (version 2.2.1) on the iPad Air, I'm noticing that some multi-syllable words at the end of a line are being split with a hyphen (?Automatic hyphenation). If I view the same document on iCloud Pages on my Macbook, there is no hyphenation on the document, so I don't know why it is only happening on the iPad. I have searched high and low through settings to try and fix this, and I tried reloading the document from word, but same thing is still happening.
    It is so offputting when I'm working on my documents! Any help is appreciated! 
    (I only noticed this today, so I wonder if it has just happened or if the app auto-updated without my knowing, and I don't know how to change it. Also - it's only on the couple of documents I used within the last couple of days, so this made me wonder if it is due to an app update??)

    When you create a document in iWork on the mac, a lot of formatting is lost when you save it to iCloud,
        That is not true to my knowledge, as you can reopen the file from iCloud on the Mac without problem.
    or you try to open it in iWork for iOS.
        Again, where are you getting this from? My understanding is that formatting from OSX is retained but a degree of it can't be edited or created in iOS.

    Where are you? Generally you can get phone support depending how and when you bought either your device or software.
    Yes unfortunately Apple periodically makes statements that are not true and has been held to account by the consumer authorities. It has happened here in Australia and the EEC has done the same. Unfortunately it is based in the USA where in recent times corporations have not been held to account.

  • 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.

  • Why doesn't the text boxes in Pages for iPad show the arrows to link the Boxes together?

    Hi. I am using Pages, which I love, on my iPad.
    As a perfectionist, I would like all my textboxes to be linked so that if I move one I can move them all.
    Any suggestions? 
    When I tap on the boxes I don't have the arrows appear like you would on a Mac.

    Yes sorry about that Rachel. I don't have an iPad so can't explore for the iOS options.
    There is a separate Pages for iOS forum where they may be able to give practical assistance.

  • 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.

  • Cannot wrap text in pages for iPad mini after importing from Mac

    Imported docs into pages for iPad from Mac. Now text will not wrap around pics on iPad. Any suggestions?

    It's not possible to copy from the help file in Pages, but are you doing it this way? Following these instructions?

  • 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.

  • Where did the text justification feature in Pages for iPad Doc Setup go?

    In previous versions of Pages for iPad ( pre iOS8) there used to be text justification option in document  setup  mode. In latest version, 2.4.2, the justification feature is missing for the headers and footer . There does not seem to be any way to center my text in the header.
    Anyone have an idea?

    Tom,
    Thank you for the response, even if it confirmed my fears. I've had a go with the "Show Spelling and Grammar" and it is much less useful than the methods of 4.x
    How dissapointing, as someone who regularly works with documents in multiple languages. What's worse: I cannot even open my old documents now in Pages 4.x once they have been opened by 5.0.
    A mess, indeed.

  • 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).

  • Soft returns 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 have seen responses for the desktop application but not the iPad application.

    Pages 1.7.1, IOS 5.1.1
    You start a bullet item and then press both ⇧ and return keypad keys to force a newline. This turns off the bullet style. Press return. Use the paintbrush toolbar icon to reselect the Bullet paragraph style again. This approach shows the inelegant possibility.
    The best approach would be at the end of your bullet text, change your line spacing from 1.0 to 1.25 from within the paintbrush > Layout tab. A return continues your bullet style. If your normal body text has been 1.0 line spacing, you can switch back to that after your list.

  • Selecting Multiple objects in Pages for ipad

    On regular pages, I can select multiple objects (text boxes, etc) by holding shift then clicking on it. Is there a way to do that in Pages for IPAD?

    With one finger select an object and hold with another finger select the other objects one by one.

  • Meter squared symbol in pages for iPad

    Hey Guys,
    Does anyone know how to make the meter squared symbol in Pages for iPad? I cant find away to push the 2 up.
    Thanks
    Tom

    Thanks. In a document in Pages on my iPad, if I press the + symbol, I am given various insert options like tables, graphic boxes and 'animatable' lines, which can be adjusted. Top left says 'text' which is obviously a text box. However my friend has an arrow option next to the word 'text' which allows him to import a thin arrow which can be rotated to point in any direction in his document (useful for pointing one area of text to another.
    I don't have this option; just the 'fixed' block arrows which appear below as options. My version of Pages is the latest and my iPad is very new.
    Thanks.

  • Pages for iPad: change a Paragraph Style ?

    Hello all,
    there is something that is driving me crazy...
    using Pages for iPad is it possible to change the default settings of a Paragraph Style ?
    I am not talking about importing a document with a custom set of styles but simply:
    - I open my document in Pages for iPad
    - I select a line of text and apply the "Header 1" style to it
    - I am not happy - for example - with the font size of the Header 1 style and I want to make all my Header 1 paragraphs change their font size
    - In the desktop version you would simply change/update the style you need, but on the iPad I cant find a way to change those values
    (BTW, I seem to remember that I once managed to do this...)
    Thanks,

    You seem to be able to copy and paste styles, but nowhere that I can find does it let you update the defined styles.
    There is the manual which does not refer to any suitable method, and also some eBooks on the subject but I have scanned those and can find no reference to redefining styles either.
    The more I play with Pages for iPad the more of a toy it seems. Sort of amazing that it does what it does on a mobile tablet, but when you get right down to it, not very useful.

  • 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.
