Greetings Dane and list,
First of all, thanks Phil for the suggestion. I knew that the reminders app
was powerful, but I'd never looked at lists. Now from preliminary testing,
I have a few suggestions for retrieving the list data.
1. Tell siri something like: show my grocery list.
2. go into reminders -> list name.
Hopefully someone can come up with a better suggestion, but it appears to me
that in order to eMail or print, you would need to traverse your list item
by item and select and paste. The three finger quadruple tap gesture
introduced in IOS7 will speed up the process of copying the items, but I can
see where this method would involve a lot of toggling around between Mail
and Reminders if the list gets long. Siri will read multiple items though,
hence the gesture referenced above may save a lot more time.
As for printing, I use an app called PrinterPro by Readdle.com. This app
supports printing from the clipboard, texts, or eMail messages.
Best regards.
Geoff

Okay, I'm replying to my own message as I have a question about your
shopping list, how do you get the output of the list when you need to go
shopping? For example do you print it, eMail it or what?

Yes I certainly will consider this as I had no idea that Siri was so
powerful so thanks for the suggestion, this will save me heaps of time
and certainly will be far more convenient.

Hi Dane,
Sorry, I don't have any pages info, but just wanted to tell you about
the quickest and easiest
method I've found for shopping lists. It's the built-in reminders app. I
just set up a list called shopping, or grocery, or whatever else I need,
and then use SIRI to populate the list as I think of things I need
during the week.
Using Siri, you can use the "add" keyword to add items to your list, and
then once finished with the list , you can easily delete them off the
list with a flick and tap of the actions menu.
Example:
"add eggs, butter, bread and milk to grocery list".
or, "add to grocery list, eggs, butter, bread and milk"
that will put a reminder in the grocery list that says "eggs, butter,
bread and milk".
As long as siri is up and running this method is so quick and easy that
I don't bother with writing out lists in textedit or the notes program
anymore.
The important thing is to use the keyword "add", and the name of the
list in a phrase like "to shopping list".
It really works well and is just something you might want to consider.

Hi!
I'm using Pages on my iPhone to compile my fortnightly shopping list,
this is the second time I've used the App for this sort of thing, a
very mundane task I know but a task that demands high priority
nevertheless.
So to my question, I've typed out all the items I want on the list and
I have a heading nicely centered in bold and underlined at the top of
the document so how to number each item in the list?
I imagine that you select the text you wish to work with and then
select "Lists" from the "Format" options? That's as far as I get, I
can't see anything which makes reference to bulleted or numbered lists,
I can see indenting and all the other stuff.
There are sections of the formatting screen that Voiceover doesn't read
out though I know they're there as I can hear Voiceover skipping over
what appears to be buttons so perhaps the bulleted and numbered list
items are amongst those things which Voiceover isn't reading? If that's
the case then I' wonder if there's a way of say labeling those parts
that Voiceover isn't reading, anyone any thoughts on this?
I suppose - if worst comes to worst - I can just run back to one of the
3 Mac machines I have here, run the Pages App and do the numbering
format from there.
