More information - Keynote, Pages and Numbers are updated to fix problems
If I have a PC, can I edit or create files compatible with Pages and have them synchronized?
Apple and Microsoft don't get along very well.
I've been looking and there are two possible solutions:
1) If you have Pages on the iPad, you can convert it to .doc from the app and edit it with Word. Then, we save the file and with Zamzar we convert the .doc into .pages and put it back into Pages through iTunes.
2) If we have a .doc we convert it with Zamzar and put it with iTunes to Pages.
I do it through iCloud, I create a document in pages on the iPad, then on the PC I enter iCloud.com and there I download the document in word, I finish it on the PC and return it to the iPad and iPad via iCloud it automatically converts it to me, the only problem is that sometimes it changes the fonts or the order of the document
How do I print in black and white? I have gone crazy looking for how to do it and could not find the function or if it is possible, I would appreciate a lot if you could explain how to do it. Greetings
Do you have an AirPrint compatible printer?
If I have a PhotoSmart Plus B12
You could try it through a cydia tweak
I do not have my iPad with Jailbreak, the detail is that Pagés does not have the option right? Or is AirPrint the problem?
This is not a review, this is a crappy tutorial
Look, I think it is a review, I explain the parts of the application and at the end I explain a little how to insert a photograph and manipulate it.
If you do not like it or you think it is not a review, you are free to comment
hahaha Totally agree with Javi… where was the Review?
A review is an analysis of the characteristics of the element analyzed, with an objective and / or subjective assessment of each point, either at the end of the whole or after each of the characteristics.
This looks more like an introductory article to Pages that fell short. For that, it is better to read the help of Pages that is extensive and well elaborated.
But courage, when you have more time you can do a real review and then nobody will tell you anything. Nothing happens for not being right or perfect. We are humans.
