Fix Numeric Formatting in Apple Pages Table Cell?

Category: Mac OS X Help

I use Pages on my Mac OS X system to generate invoices for clients based on the invoice template included with the program. I like it because it's simple, neat, and has some slick formatting capabilities. Except I have a small table on the invoice page that calculates total invoice price based on hours * rate. For the first time, I've created an invoice that has a fractional hour, and if I click on the cell I see the fractional amount, but once I click out, it's rounded up and I can't send that to the client! How do I fix the formatting in Pages?

How can I fix "missing Calibri font" errors in Pages?

Category: Mac OS X Help

I'm so darn frustrated! Every time I try to open up a Microsoft Office document in Apple Pages, Apple Keynote or Apple Numbers, I get a warning message about fonts Calibri and Cambria being unavailable. Every time. Yet the documents aren't using the typeface anyway. What gives and, more importantly, how can I fix it so I don't see the $#@$# missing font errors?

How do I copy Keynote presentations onto my Apple iPad?

Category: Apple iPad Help

Now that I have an Apple iPad, I want to use it to show customers presentations on our products and services. The presentations are built in Keynote and I bought Keynote for my iPad, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to copy the darn Keynote presentations onto the iPad! Is there some app I need to get or something?
