Ask Tii - How to share files with Pages from Computer

Hi Rob,

I have the pages app on my iPhone and I want to get some Word docs on my computer that I can make available to edit with the Pages app.  How do I get the Word docs on to my iPhone to use with Pages.

Thanks

Tony

 

Hi Tony,

 

First I will assume you are running iOS 4.X or later.  Next connect your iPhone to your computer.  When iTunes pops up and shows your iPhone go ahead and click on your iPhone under "devices" Then in the upper tab in iTunes click on "Apps"  Then scroll down to "File Sharing".  Next Select the Pages App which should be on the left hand side under "Apps". Then just drag and drop all the word docs you want Pages on your iPhone to have access to.  Then click sync (Actually it syncs after each drop - but go ahead and sync again anyway.)

 

After the sync is done disconnect your iPhone from the computer and launch the Pages App. 

 

When Pages opens in the upper left tap on the "+" icon (Or if it says "documents" in the upper left tap on that and then on the "+" icon).

 

Then tap  on "iTunes" under "Copy From" - and then select the Documents you want to copy over and edit in Pages. 

 

Regards,
