Pages and Keynote are not accepting text gifts from each other

I'm running Keynote 12.2.1 and Pages 13.1


My ability to copy from one to the other going in either direction has ceased to function.


Is there a newer version of Keynote I should have? I've seen on the forum that there have been incompatibility problems between the two if the versions aren't in sync. I've had this issue before and had a workaround but then it seemed to be fixed.


I'd rather not take the extra step of pasting my text elements to an intermediary like Notes or Text Edit.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5

Have you updated your macOS Sonoma to 14.7? Your profile shows 14.5. The current version of Pages and Keynote for Sonoma (and later) is 14.2.


I have no issue with the bi-directional copy/paste of text boxes between Pages and Keynote v14.2 on macOS Sequoia v15.0.1, or Pages and Keynote v14.1 on macOS Ventura 13.7. I currently do not have Sonoma installed.
