Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My Pages, Numbers etc. now open to a finder window. I can choose a New Document to get into them programs but what has changed? They worked perfectly until three days ago. Apple has not been able to resolve this and suggested that an upgrade from Big Sur to Monterey would fix the issue but it has not. Pages version 11.2 as of today.
Quit Pages from its Application menu.
You probably have the System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud Drive > Options… > Pages selected. This forces Pages to open a file dialog instead of the expected template chooser. It also exposes a Pages folder on iCloud Drive.
I just tested this on macOS 11.6.4 with Pages v11.2 and once the preceding is set, a file chooser does appear.

Useful info, thanks!
Thank you so much. That corrected the issue. I really appreciate this group and all the help that can be obtained from the community!
Check what you have in Pages > Preferences > General > For New Documents to make sure it is set for the behavior you want.
Thanks, I have it set to Show Template Chooser. So, that is not the issue.
You are welcome.
Pages, Numbers opening to finder window.
