Where Pages 'takes you' on launch is a preferences setting. If you want it to always go to the Temlate Chooser, set it to do that:


Launch Pages, then go to the Pages menu and choose Preferences.

In the General section, click to check the box beside "Show Template Chooser"


(Image is of the preferences pane for Numbers 3.6.2. Yours nay have some differences.)


With your current preferences settings, you should be able to get to the Template chooser by pressing the option key and holding it down until you choose New from Template Chooser.

Hello Barry ... thank you for your response! The version of Pages.app is version 7.3. I upgraded to 7.3 about three weeks ago and when I clicked the Pages icon to open, it took me to my Pages saved documents in finder instead of taking me to the "template chooser". I tried deleting the app and downloading it again and it still does the same thing. I'm no computer wiz, so I'm probably doing something wrong! 😕
