A:

You should, if I understand it correctly, be able to share things like documents, but I haven't tried it myself.

You can always have your wife email you the documents.

You don't. There's no way to combine Apple IDs. Why did you set up a new Apple ID? If you changed email addresses, the correct procedure would have been to update your existing Apple ID with the new email address.

You can see if Family Sharing will help.

My wife and I have always just used the same email address. When I bought the phone the sales rep said I needed to set-up a separate email and Apple ID otherwise we would have two phones worth of content on each phone. I'm not very tech savvy so I let her help me set it up that way.

Ok, I understand. Yes, you want to use Family Sharing. See the article I linked to for information on how to set it up.

So, to clarify, the old Apple ID and email are now my wife's and I use the ones I set-up when I bought the phone. So all my documents in iCloud Pages I will have to just re-type into my iCloud Pages?
