Choose a template that matches the document that you are creating. Then replace the text in the document with your own. Documents that you create on your iPhone or iPad are automatically saved as your type them. There is no File Save command. A new document or spreadsheet is given a default name based on the template used to create it. Rename a Document. A menu option appears allowing you to rename the file. Choose Rename, enter the new name and tap Done to make the change.
After you create a document you might be wishing to add a picture, a table or some other element to the document. The menu bar at the top of the screen has a plus icon that you tap to add elements to the document or spreadsheet.

You might with to choose a different font, size, weight, style, etc.
In order to format the text found in Pages documents you will need to select text using your finger taps. After text is selected, that text can be formatted with the Format commands.
Select a range of text — First select a word in the range. From that selection, drag the blue dots to expand the text selected. Summary: The objective of this recipe was to demonstrate key concepts that are used across all of the iWork suite apps.
As you dive into the app, review the full Apple documentation for the apps. Links to that documentation are found in Additional Information below.

The suite is comprised of three primary tools: Pages for word processing. Use it to create documents including letters, memos, flyers, essays and even books. Numbers for spreadsheets.
Use Numbers to create budgets, lists, rosters, plans and charts. Keynote for presentations. Use Keynote to create a slide deck for a presentation or speech.

Keynote is definitely the bright spot of the iWork suite of apps.
The iPad version won't exactly be confused with Powerpoint or the desktop version of Keynote, but of all the iWork apps, it comes the closest. Even for hardcore business users, many will find it does everything they need in a presentation app.
A recent Keynote update really brought the feature set up and aligned the templates with the desktop version, so sharing presentations between your iPad and desktop is easier than ever. But, one area it does have an issue with is fonts, with the iPad version of the app supporting a limited number of them. In one aspect, Keynote for the iPad actually exceeds desktop versions. There's no doubt the iPad is made for presenting.
Using Apple TV and AirPlay , it's easy to get the picture on the big screen , and because there are no wires, the presenter is free to move around. The iPad Mini can really make a great controller because it's so easy to use while walking. Apple didn't stop with iWork. They also give away their iLife suite of apps, which includes a music studio in the form of Garage Band and a quite powerful video-editing app in the form of iMovie.
Similar to iWork, these apps are available for download for free for most iPad owners. Apple released version 11 of iWork in March The current version of the three apps is They require iPadOS If the three iWork apps—Pages, Numbers, and Keynote—aren't already on your iPad, you can download them individually from the App Store.

With regard to special characters, while the iOS key trays provide access to most language-specific characters, it does not have default easy access to special characters including, for instance, a degree symbol and math symbols, among others.
Unicode fonts offer a plethora of math, currency, arrow, music, and other technical symbols that can be exceptionally useful in word processing.
You can add new international keyboards in the iOS preferences that may include some of these desired characters, but this is not the same as a full character palette and also sometimes requires activating multiple keyboards to have the desired characters.
The last hurdle in iOS is its document management options. Apple's integration of iCloud makes synchronization of changes between devices a breeze; however, whether you use iCloud or store documents locally, Apple allows you to only organize documents in folders that are one level deep. If you are managing a few documents then this organization can be useful, but in environments like schools where one might have multiple classes each with different projects, the inability to create subfolders for these projects might result in a bit of a cluttered organization.
I contacted Apple regarding some of these limitations asking for alternative approaches and wondering about the potential for improving them, but Apple understandably could not comment on future directions of the program. Despite these inherent limitations to the iOS platform, Apple has found ways to make Pages, Keynote, and Numbers on iOS be useful and in some cases meet or even surpass the capabilities of their Mac counterparts.
It offers a simple approach to the page layout and quick options for adjusting the font, font size, text style, justification, and indentations. As with other iWork on iOS programs, Pages has object management buttons at the top-right of the program where you can access formatting details for text like lists, styles, and columns. These options are also contextual, so if you select an image it will provide details like rotation, shadows, and outlines.
As a result, when managing the visual aspects of a Pages document, the iPad is a nice tool to have; however, the lack of a direct cursor management option like arrow keys means text management itself is not as fast as can be done on a Mac. With practice you can get relatively speedy at selecting and moving text around, but for those used to a keyboard, the arrow keys and combinations of modifiers such as the Shift, Command, and Option keys are invaluable options when organizing ideas and document structure.
Overall, while Pages on iOS is fun and can be used with iCloud to view and add basic edits to Pages documents created elsewhere, for true word-processing speed and detailed text organization, your best bet is to primarily use Pages on the Mac OS.
When it comes to making presentations, unlike Pages where the iOS input options can be a burden to the workflow, presentation creation may benefit from the touch-based input. Even though as with Pages the lack of arrow key inputs makes managing text and aligning objects a bit harder to do, one thing it does do is dissuade people from resorting to presentations of endless bullet points.
The touch-based input almost encourages you to make more-visual presentations by drawing objects and arranging graphs and pictures instead of resorting to text fields. One issue with Keynote that is more of a desired enhancement than a drawback is its lack of ability to control or run presentations on a nearby Mac, and instead requires you to either connect the iPad to an AirPlay device, use a video adapter, or transfer the presentation to a Mac that is attached to a projector.
Unfortunately in many cases, the latter is the only available option especially in schools , and having a Bonjour-like feature where Keynote on iOS could detect a Mac running Keynote and then request to use it for running a presentation similar to how one can request Screen Sharing in iChat or Messages , would make the iPad far more useful for running presentations rather than simply creating them.
While the lack of multitasking prevents the use of some shortcuts like drag and drop, the program can be used very well either independently or in conjunction with Keynote on the Mac OS to make well-done presentations. The main benefit it brings to the table is the touch-based input opening doors to making richer and more attractive presentations rather than just typing in text.
The last program in the iWork suite is Numbers, and while the previous two programs either worked well or had some limitations with the touch-based input, Numbers on iOS came as a surprise in that it was an amazing program to use on the iPad.
Spreadsheets for the most part do not require much if any text management and instead content is managed through selecting cells, entering data, and managing formulas. For these purposes the touch-based input in iOS seemed to excel and truly fit the workflow. Data in spreadsheets is inherently object-based, either as whole tables or as individual cells within them, and as such most tasks for spreadsheets are inherently built around selecting these objects and apply changes to them.
