Pages missing fonts message: can it be turned off? Pages gives me 2 separate messages about missing fonts when I open work-related Word documents. Most of the time, I do not care about these fonts--I would be happy to see these documents in plain text with only table formatting preserved, because I just need to review the content. Pages does seem to be automatically converting to another font that works just fine for that, so I am not losing content by this. Can I tell Pages to stop cluttering my screen with these unneeded and repetitive messages, especially when it's the 10th document opened from the same sender with the same fonts missing within the same session? OS 12.6 Monterey, Pages 12.1

TextEdit in Ventura 13.2 I've noticed that when I move my cursor around in a TextEdit document with different fonts/formats in it, it has suddenly decided to start using the format from wherever I last was in the document in a different area where it is not appropriate: essentially changing my font in the middle of a sentence in a different paragraph. This is VERY annoying and never happened until quite recently. I have a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 with Ventura 13.2 OS. I looked through TextEdit Settings and can't figure out what it is: perhaps Text replacement?? No, I just unclicked that box and it's still doing this. WHAT's UP with that?? thanks, loyal mac user since 1992...
