You have iOS 9.2 in the title of your post but 9.1 in the body. I assume you mean 9.1. On my iPad running pages the 'tab' key is there where it always was, on the left two keys up from 'shift'.

If you don't see it then you might try shutting down your iPad entirely and restarting.

Thanks for the suggestion; sadly reboot hasn't restored the tab button You're right I'm on iOS 9.1. The Pages app is running as version 2.6.1. Guess I' m just going to have use a lot of space bar taps and visual aligning. Bit of a pain!

The availability of tab stops will also depend on the template you are using. but it is there:

Do you see a little white line just above the Y key? If so, flick that up to reveal the extra bar with the tab key.

Many thanks - problem solved! (Still wish Pages had more options for using tabs in documents). But that's really helpful.
