Formatting

Is there a way to use formatting? I currently compose my messages in Pages (iPad) but when I paste into Top Dog, I lose all formatting.
 
Would this help? I don't have one so I googled,:

Sadly I don't know what it's all about.:rolleyes:

I'm using an iPad and I just spent 10 minutes trying to copy those links so I can paste them into the web browser but I can't seem to select one link without it grabbing the other one at the same time. Is that just me being stupid? I don't know what to use for * confused face* here either ( it isn't :S ) but I have one!
 
Further to that, now I have, eventually, managed to paste one of the links into the browser it doesn't seem to work?

It says "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found."

I say I'm tired and I'm giving up for now!
 
Sorry Sue036, in separating the links & breaking them, the or stayed attached to the https://.
I copy/pasted the google.com/drive/answer/2755803?hl=en bit into a new window & it worked beautifully. Mayhap the difference is between ipad & my 'puter?

In answering a query about basic formatting, Apple Support suggest:

You can make type bold, italics or underlined in the mail app but you cannot change fonts or the size of the font. Bullets, numbering or indents are not available as options.
Tap and hold down on text in order to select it and then you can choose BIU from the options bar and in the next popup you can select Bold, Italics, Underline or any combination of the three formatting options.

Maybe a separate google from you ipad for 'how to' would work more betterer?
 
Thanks Wendy and Sue, the only time I have a problem with formatting is when I paste my formatted item into Top Dog. It doesn't transfer. Is there anyway I can format within Top Dog?

Can you see the options for fonts etc on the IPad when posting a reply? I am guessing not....
 
When I write the blog, I do so in Word first, then just copy/paste it over. The only formatting that I have problems with is that there are sometimes extra space lines between paragraphs.

However....

The tab key does not work as expected on the forum (as I found out when compiling some of the Articles) but I tend not to use that anyway.

Are there any specific formatting issues with which there is a problem? :)

I can format and transfer the formatting when I use my desktop. The problem only occurs when I use my iPad. Thank you for your response. I'll just have to live with it and I am happy to do so.

Thanks, it might, it wasn't to do with the attached "or". I tried again to be sure I had only selected and pasted the link but the ipad still didn't like it. It works perfectly on my PC however!

Thanks to Jan for the links for the smileys and other codes. Not sure my memory is up to keeping them in mind but we'll see!

Looks like there are just some things that work, or don't work, the same on an ipad. No worries though, only missing a tiny bit of the icing on the cake!
