Hello George,

Here's a description of how to use Pages on the iPhone. This is information I 
put together from various sources but I haven't used it much myself.

Cheers,

Pages on IOS
You can read and type text. Be aware, however, that rather than showing the 
entire document in one edit field, Pages breaks documents up in to multiple 
edit fields in such a way that each edit field corresponds to roughly one page 
of text. You'll see two or three of these "pages"/edit fields on screen at once 
and must use the vertical scrolling gestures to scroll through the pages. So, 
when you move to the top/bottom of an edit field, or select all text in an edit 
field, you aren't moving to the top/bottom of or selecting the entire document 
but rather manipulating the current "page". Thus, if you wanted to make some 
formatting change that applied to, say, a couple of pages, you'd have to select 
relevant text from the first edit field in question, apply the formatting 
change, select text in the next relevant edit field, apply formatting change, 
and so on.

You can accessibly change the font used. After you select text using typical VO 
selection commands, activate the Info button located in the upper right-hand 
portion of the screen. The safest way to find this without losing your 
selection is to approach the status bar from the top and locate the time, then 
slide your finger down to Info and tap with a second finger to activate it. 
Then go straight to the bottom portion of the screen without touching anything 
in between, and you'll find the Text Options pane. You'll see formatting items; 
activate the icon labeled with the current point/font info, then activate the 
icon called Font, CurrentFontName, (where CurrentFontName is the actual font 
name of course) and pick a different font. The buttons to apply effects such as 
Bold, Italic, Underline, etc. also work. You can also change the point size by 
flicking up or down. Once done making those changes, you can return to the text 
by sliding a finger up the left-hand side of the scree
 n.
Documents are saved automatically as you compose them, so you never save them 
manually. Emailing works fine; from upper-right portion of screen, select Tools 
> Share and Print > Email Document > button corresponding to file format you 
wish the attachment to be in, then a regular Mail window opens for you to fill 
in relevant details.
 If you add a new document and select the blank document template in order to 
add a blank document, its name will just be "blank", and the next blank 
document you create would be called "blank1", etc. There is a Rename button 
next to the name of each document. 
Creating folders is tricky. You need to have good spatial awareness since you 
need to slide the document onto the folder. When you first create a folder, you 
double tap and hold on one document then slide it onto another. This creates a 
folder called Folder which you can rename in the same way as for a file name.
