MacBook Air Retina 13" 2018, Sonoma 14.5, Pages v14.1. Both things started at approximately the same time, for no apparent reason, and I can't figure out how to get them to stop. Please advise.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6
Pages v14.1 introduced predictive text to complete a word and there is nothing you can do about that as the Pages product team did not provide a means in Settings to optionally disable that annoyance. I have sent them a feature request to provide an optional OFF selector in Auto-Correction.
Pages will not open a previous document if you properly close the document and quit Pages. I am using Pages v14.1 on Sonoma 14.5 and I always close a document before quitting Pages. Consequently, no previous document opens when I launch Pages again.
An alternative is to enter oxycodone and then right-click on that word and let Pages learn the spelling. Then see if Pages predicts oxygen or oxycodone.
Thanks for your reply Viking, and for asking the Pages team to provide a means to disable predictive text. I hope they honor your request. I use a lot of abbreviations when making notes before filling out and submitting medical review documents, and Pages often gets it wrong. For example, oxy becomes oxygen when I really meant oxycodone. Very annoying.
Re the other problem, I guess I often just save a document then quit Pages without formally closing the document, so I'll give closing the document first a try. Strange that this never happened before though.
Thanks again!
A solution to predictive text was discovered by @cree8er via Apple Support.
Good thought, thanks!
Apple Pages now doing 2 things I don't want: auto-filling text, and opening previous document when I just want to start a new document.
