I have no issues with Pages v13.1 whether on Monterey 12.7.5, or 12.7.6.


Start your 2014 Mac Mini in Safe boot mode. Shut it entirely down. Then press the power button and immediately press and hold the shift key until you see a booting progress bar. You will know you are in Safe Boot mode because that will be spelled out in red letters at the top of the screen.


Launch Pages in Safe Boot mode. If it does not quit, finish what you are doing and then quit Pages and reboot normally. After the normal reboot, try Pages again to see if it continues to quit on you or is behaving normally again.
