Page: have to convert to word processing first?
I updated to Pages. When I next opened a new document, I found I couldn't type on it. I went to the format tab but there were no fonts, no sizes, none of the usual options for text. Hmm. I went searching and under the File menu discovered "Convert to word processing." That did the trick. I looked again and it said, "Convert to Page Layout." Well, dandy. I can type on the doc.
The thing is, I don't want to have to do this every time, every single time, I open a new doc. I looked through the info on Pages to see if there was a way to make word processing a default and only found this on the:
Create a document in Pages on Mac
Create a basic word-processing document
- To open Pages, click the Pages icon in the Dock, Launchpad, or Application folder.
- If the template chooser doesn’t appear, click New Document in the bottom-left corner of the dialog.
- Double-click the Blank or Blank Landscape template in the Basic category.
- Start typing.
Except that's not working. Typing does nothing until I convert to word processing So frustrating. I've restarted my computer, but that didn't help.
Help!
Thank you,
