I'm writing a screenplay in Pages and am using iCloud to sync and edit the document on Mac, iPad 2 and iPhone 4.

Obviously I'm relying heavily on paragraph styles (every line uses a different style), so using Mac OS Pages I have assigned F Hot Keys to my styles to quickly switch between them.

The problem is when I open and edit the document in iOS Pages then open it in Mac Pages, the F Hot Keys reset to default (no Hot Key) and I have to reassign them.

Can someone using both Mac OS Pages and iOS Pages using iCloud please test this to see if it also happens to you?

To replicate my situation I suggest:

1. Create the new document in Mac Pages using the screenplay template (Template Chooser > Word Processing > Misc > Screenplay)
2. Open the Paragraph Styles Draw and assign F Hot Keys to a few styles
3. Save on iCloud
4. Open in iOS Pages and edit the paragraph style of a few lines
5. Save on iCloud
6. Open in Mac Pages and see if your Hot Keys still exist

Any help would be appreciated, even if it's 'Yeah I've tested it and you're just going to have to live with it'.

Thanks for reading.
