I wiped the HD on my 2017 iMac to recycle and changed my mind. Reinstalled Ventura 13 but Apple Store says, even though I had it on my Apps list for years, I cannot download Pages unless I have OS 15, which the older iMac doesn’t support. I have dozens of files in icloud, but the cloud version of Pages lacks some of the formatting I need. Any suggestions how to get a Ventura version of Pages?

The Mac App Store requires Sequoia, macOS 15. or later to install the current version of Pages & Numbers.
You can get the last compatible version of Pages or Numbers for your OS, provided you have installed Pages or Numbers previously from the Mac App Store and using the same Apple ID. If you haven't, or the Mac had Pages or Numbers preinstalled, then there is no easy means to get any version of Pages or Numbers now.
Launch the Mac App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. Press cmd+0 (zero) to open the Purchases panel, and if Pages is there with any indication that it can be installed, then click that. Do not Cancel any subsequent dialogs and this may result in your having the last compatible version of Pages or Numbers for your version of macOS.

Sorry to say, but this is incorrect: “You can get the last compatible version of Pages or Numbers for your OS, provided you have installed Pages or Numbers previously from the Mac App Store and using the same Apple ID.” I’ve tried this and despite having an iMac for seven years through several OS and Pages update, it is not available to download.
