iCloud and word processing

[theoldmole]

OK, I am completely confused. I want to be able to create a document in Pages, save it to the cloud, and be able to access it from one of my other devices. Is this totally impossible? Pages gives me the option of saving to iDisk, but iDisk doesn't exist any more, right? I don't see an option to save to iCloud. In my iCloud settings, storage of documents and data is turned on, but how can I actually store documents and data? And once they're stored, how can I retrieve them?

Its all done automatically in the background, you don't have to worry about saving at all. You should be able to edit on your ipad, close the app, then open pages on your mac and the document should be available to you.

Accidentally deleted Pages with important documents

Hello, I just accidentally deleted Pages. I am in big trouble. My laptop is in shop, and I just bought iPad a few weeks ago, and all of my school documents and papers,were on Pages. Can I retrieve them? Can I access iCloud from my ipad? Thank you!

If you had pages on your iPad it's no problem to restore it. Open your App Store, go to Purchased Items. Scroll down the list. You should find the app, and it should have a cloud next to it. Tap on the cloud, and it should be reinstalled immediately.
