STILL can't copy and paste from pages to numbers OR from numbers to pages.

Simply put:

I highlight in numbers and copy. It works perfect pasting into notepad. But it refuses to paste into pages.

I can copy and paste from a PDF into either numbers or pages, but STILL cannot copy and paste from numbers into pages OR pages into numbers.

Just saw your comment about a new version of Pages — updated the Pages app, and copy/paste to Numbers is working again. Thanks!

I'm having the same problem:


  1. Edit > Copy text from Pages
  2. Edit > Paste it into Numbers (either with a cell selected or if you have put the cursor inside the cell to start typing)


☞ nothing happens


However, I have noticed this works:


  1. Edit > Copy text from Pages
  2. Edit > Paste text into a new TextEdit document
  3. Edit > Select All
  4. Edit > Copy the same text you had just pasted in
  5. Edit > Paste it into Numbers


☞ text appears correctly


This is with Numbers version 14.0 (7039.0.94) and Pages version 13.2 (7038.0.87) on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224).
