Q: Pages for Mac takes 30 seconds   to load

I would like to use Pages instead of Word for Mac but when I try to open Pages it takes at least 30 seconds to come up on screen.  I am sure there is something wrong but do not know what it is or how to fix it.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), iOS 10

    I could be wrong, but there is 99% of chances that it's a problem with iCloud.

    I had this problem a while back, pages being unresponsive, taking ages to load documents and such.

    Disabling iCloud made the trick for me, pages was looking for something in the cloud I presume and didn't found anything.

    I had the surprise to find (even if empty) my never used iCloud had a clone copy of all my computer folders, even if I didn't used any of its services and if it indicated that it was empty.

    Hold down the shift key and Pages will not open any previously open documents which may be located in a Cloud somewhere with a slow connection, or you have a large complex document or a lot of Fonts open.
