Hello, I have a Mac OS High Sierra version 10.13.6. I just had a new hard drive and operating system installed but it's using ICloud for pages and I would like to use Pages as a word processor as I did before.Please advise.

I does appear that you purchased Pages at some time since October 2013. Open the Mac App Store & hold down the option key while clicking the Purchases tab on your High Sierra Mac. If you see Pages, Numbers, and Keynote with Update/Install buttons, it may offer to download a previous version of these applications compatible with High Sierra.


In Mojave and later releases of macOS, one must enter ⌘+0 (zero) to get to the previous purchases panel in the Mac App Store. This changed from the option+Purchases tab in High Sierra and earlier.
