I'm happy with my placeholder text, but Pages won't replace it with the actual text I want. I thought, when I made a document based off my template, I could just type and what I typed would override the placeholder, replacing it with the text I was writing. Is there more to replacing placeholder

Hello Alex, To replace placeholder text, you need to navigate with only the arrow keys so that the whole placeholder text is highlighted before you start typing over it. The whole piece of placeholder text will then be replaced. Cheers, Anne > On 4 Aug 2015, at 12:58, Alex Hall wrote: > >

For the record, VoiceOver doesn't play very nice with simulators most of the time. To get the best idea of how your app is looking and what is where, you should run it on an iOS device. Xcode 7 will let you do this on anything running iOS9 or newer, so in a couple months, you can start using a r
