iPad may also underline words you’ve already typed that might be misspelled.

Replace a misspelled word: Tap the underlined word, then tap the correct spelling. If the word

you want doesn’t appear, just retype it.

Turn auto-correction or spell checking on or o: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard.

Shortcuts and your personal dictionary

Shortcuts lets you type just a few characters instead of a longer word or phrase. The expanded

text appears whenever you type the shortcut. For example, the shortcut “omw” expands to “On

my way!”

Prevent iPad from trying to correct a word or phrase: Create a shortcut, but leave the Shortcut

eld blank.

Edit a shortcut: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap the shortcut.

Use iCloud to keep your personal dictionary up to date on your other iOS devices: Go to

Settings > iCloud and turn on “Documents & Data.”

Keyboard layouts

On iPad, you can type with a split keyboard that’s at the bottom of the screen, or undocked and

in the middle of the screen.

Adjust the keyboard: Touch and hold , then:

•

Use a split keyboard: Slide your nger to Split, then release.

•

Move the keyboard to the middle of the screen: Slide your nger to Undock, then release.

•

Return to a full keyboard: Slide your nger to Dock and Merge, then release.

•

Return a full keyboard to the bottom of the screen: Slide your nger to Dock, then release.

Turn Split Keyboard on or o: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard.

You can use Settings to set the layouts for the onscreen keyboard or for an Apple Wireless

Keyboard that you use with iPad. The available layouts depend on the keyboard language. See

Apple Wireless Keyboard below and Appendix B, International Keyboards, on page 122 .

Select keyboard layouts: Go to Settings > General > International > Keyboards, select a

language, then choose the layouts.

Apple Wireless Keyboard

You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately) for typing on iPad. The Apple

Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must rst pair it with iPad. See Pairing

Bluetooth devices on page 32.

Once the keyboard is paired with iPad, it connects whenever the keyboard is within range—up

to about 33 feet (10 meters). When a wireless keyboard is connected, the onscreen keyboard

doesn’t appear when you tap a text eld. To save the battery, turn o the keyboard when not

in use.
