Turn off new predictive text appearing in Pages After upgrading to Sequoia 15.6.1 on my MacBook Air, I now find that Pages is making suggestions for how to complete words as I type. I do not want this -- how do I turn it off? There seems to be no way to do it within Pages itself.

How do I turn off word/phrase suggestion pop up while typing in Pages? While typing in a document a shaded suggestion to complete a word or phrase pops up. I know how to spell and I know what I want to say. This feature is distracting. How do I turn it off? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Pages 14.4 word count not showing full details automatically In Apple Pages version 14.4, on MacBook Pro, MacOS Sequoia 15.6, I know how to show the word count "pop-up menu" or whatever it is called on the bottom of the screen but unless I click it, it will not show the details. It just shows 1 or 2 or 3.. boxes followed by the aspect that it is showing (--whatever I last selected it to show, for instance "words"). Seeing will help you understand: It is this: and it should show "26 words" as I can determine when I click on it like this: This hasn't worked right for me for years. Any suggestions as to why and how to fix? It is very inconvenient to have to click to see. Disabling and re-enabling (with shift - command - W) does not fix it. Thanks for your attention
