Function Keys Not Working in Pages

In Pages, I had set up my function keys to do certain things in regard to text size, positioning, etc. But now they've stopped working. Every time I hit an F key, it doesn't adjust the text or do anything. A quick sound is played, indicating an error (I'm assuming).

Does anyone know how to make them work again? I've enabled the function keys before, and they worked fine, so I'm a bit confused. I've already gone into my keyboard settings and clicked the box next to "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys". Thank you!

Have you recently updates your OS and Pages application?

Pages version No. ?

Mac OS version No. ?

That information may help in finding a reason for the change and a solution.

Meanwhile, you could take a look at this discussion: Pages 12.2 misses function keys - Apple Community

Using the Function Buttons:

Hold down the fn key --not the F key.
