Cannot paste text directly from Numbers to Pages

Macbook Pro OS 26.2... Pages 15.1. Numbers 14.5. Can copy text only from Numbers Cell. Cannot paste directly into Pages. I can double Click the cell in Numbers to highlight text only not a text box then paste in a text editor. Copy that text and paste into Pages 15.1... but what a pain. I cannot paste text directly from numbers into Pages.

OK... I downloaded the newest Numbers App. 15.1...This works. So I opened my spreadsheet from the old Numbers app 14.5 in the New Numbers app 15.1. By double clicking a cell the text is highlighted. I did command C to copy and then went to the new 15.1 Pages App and WAS able to paste it with command V. Works fine. However, I am not able to copy and paste from Numbers 14.5 to Pages 15.1. Hope this helps.
