Open Finder, use the Finder "Go" menu to go to the Applications folder. Drag the Pages app from the Applications folder to your Dock.

If Pages isn't installed on your Mac, go to Apple menu > App Store and install it.

Ventura Missing Dock icons ... How do I restore them? I have an alias to the downloads folder. The idea is that the apple fan/list/whatever display has been useless from day one. An icon in the dock should open a finder window to download ...simple! I have no idea why 'open a finder window' is still not an option alongside the fan stuff ... I digress! Since the Ventura upgrade ... the icons have gone, to be replaced with a generic white document rectangle. I can see the Alis in a folder window ... it looks like a folder ... but the alia in the dock does not! So far I have tried removing the shortcut from the dock and dragging the alias back to the dock ... still white. Creating an alias to an app (keynote ... waiting for a minute of spinning pizza) and then dragging the keynote alias to the doc but I cannot add that alias to the dock (do not use keynote at any rate ... but still unexpected.) Creating an alias to another folder in my user area (not a cloud location). This created the alias immediately with the correct icon in finder ... but dragging that to the dock causes the dock to display the generic white again. I am unsure where to go next ... help appreciated. Thanks.

Menus instead of action? It seems nearly every time I click on the + to add a new tab, or on the Forward or Reverse buttons, or on apps in the Dock, instead of just doing any of those actions, I get instead a dropdown menu!! I just want the new tab to open, or to go back to the previous one, forward to the next one, or the app I clicked on, to just open!! And sometimes clicking doesn't register, or grabbing the side rails won't move the position of the screen, or scrolling won't happen! I have to do something else, then try again, for it to finally do what I need doing. Why is this happening so often??
