Q: Cannot use Share option in Pages & choose format

I Created a new document in Pages today. I went to Share to send to a group. Prior to today lit always have a drop menu from which I selected 'Mail'.  I chose Mail it would then go to a new choice page where it offered - Mail, PDF, & Pages format. Today neither of those appear. When I click on Share the only option is iCloud

    Hi Martha,

     

    If you find you are missing Share options from Pages on your Mac, use the steps in this article to restore them - If Share options or Markup is missing after upgrading to OS X Yosemite or El Capitan.

     

    Specifically -

    1. Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. 
    2. Type this command in Terminal: 
      /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
      
    3. Press Return and wait for the Terminal prompt—which ends in $—to reappear. It may take a few minutes.
    4. Quit Terminal. 

    You should now see the expected Share   and Markup features. If not, go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click Extensions, and make sure that the Markup and sharing features are turned on in the Actions and Share Menu sections.

    If another user account on your Mac has the same issue, log in to that account and repeat these steps.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    Sincerely.
