Hello Applevis.

So a few weeks ago I wrote a post on here talking about bluetooth keyboards with IOS. I have found that the issue is not with the keyboard itsself but with pages. Can anyone using Pages on ios please tell me your experiences with bluetooth keyboards.
Thank you and have a nice day.

I've noticed that when you need to eddit a document with a blue tooth keyboard and the latest update of pages and ios, it won't let you navigate character by character. Very frustrating when you need to eddit documents. This does this when quicknav is turned off. I have reported it to apple, but it is rather frustrating. I found that if you copy your document in to notes and back, then you can eddit it in notes, but not in pages. It just stays on one character when you try to navigate in pages.

I hope that comment makes sense lol.

I know this may be a bit frustrating as well, but I turn my quick nav on, navigate the rotor to characters, and move using the rotor if I need to use Pages. Most of the time, I now use Google Docs. They have made some improvements with their app. Although they have a ways to go they have improved it by leaps and bounds.

Hi. I was wondering if you can do MLA formatting with Google Docs? It works really well with VoiceOver . Also, in the Google slides app, there is a function that sometimes allows you to move with the three finger swipe left or right to move between slides. Does this work for you? It sometimes does for me.
