Why can't I send and an email from a pages document . I do not wish to have i cloud .

Hi Barba,

You can't send an email from a Pages document because Pages is not an email application.

Using an email application (such as Mail, which came with your Mac, and is likely still installed), you can send your Pages document file as an attachment to an email message, or you can copy the contents of the Pages document, paste those into an email message in Mail (or into any other email application you have installed), and send that message by email.

You will not require an iCloud account for either of those methods, but you will require an account with an email service supplier.

Regards,

Barry
