Pages is a powerful word processor that lets you create stunning documents, and comes included with most Apple devices. And with real-time collaboration, your team can work together from anywhere, whether they’re on Mac, iPad, iPhone, or using a PC.
Once when I opened Pages there was a message I should update Pages on my Macbook Pro. I think I clicked later or something similar. Now that I want to open a Pages document from iCloud from my iPad my Pages on MacBook Pro says I need to update to open the Pages document from the latest version of Pages on iOS. Pages is the most beautiful word processor you’ve ever seen on a mobile device. Start with an Apple-designed template to instantly create gorgeous reports, digital books, resumes, posters and more. Or use a blank document and create your own design. Easily add images, movies, audio, charts and shap.
From the start, Pages places you in the perfect creative environment. It puts all the right tools in all the right places, so it’s easy to choose a look, customize fonts, personalize text styles, and add beautiful graphics. And everyone collaborating on a document has access to the same powerful features.
Start with something beautiful.
Choose from over 70 beautiful Apple‑designed templates, and customize your reports, letters, and other documents any way you like. And, if you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book or fairy tale, it’s easy to create interactive stories right inside Pages.
Make progress you can see.
Track changes, add highlights, and have threaded conversations with your team. Your edits are saved automatically.
Stunning results. Effortlessly.
Liven up your text by filling it with color gradients or images. And, take the entire page to the next level by adding photos, galleries, audio clips, video, math equations, charts, or more than 700 customizable shapes.
What’s new in Pages.
NewTurn handwriting into text. Magically.
With Scribble and Apple Pencil, your handwritten words will automatically be converted to typed text. Take notes, write a book, or annotate a paper fast and easy.
NewWrite reports easier.
With new report templates, there’s no staring at a blank page. Jump start an essay, research paper, or school report by choosing from one of the 3 new templates.
Skim through in style.
Now, on your iPhone and iPad, you can read through your document, zoom in and out, and interact with it — without accidentally changing anything.
Play videos right in your documents.
Play YouTube and Vimeo videos right in Pages, without the need to open a web browser. Simply add a link, and play your web video inside your document or book.
You don’t work in one place on just one device. The same goes for Pages. Work seamlessly across all your Apple devices. The documents you create using a Mac or iPad will look the same on an iPhone or web browser — and vice versa.
You can also work on documents stored on iCloud or Box using a PC.
Work together in the same document, from across town or across the world. You can see your team’s edits as they make them — and they can watch as you make yours, too. Just click the Collaborate button and invite people to join.
Use Apple Pencil on your iPad to sketch, illustrate, and create documents. Draw and fine-tune your idea, then press play to watch each stroke animate onto the page. Plus, with Smart Annotation, your edits stay with the marked-up text, making it easy for you and your team to incorporate changes.
Teaming up with someone who uses Microsoft Word? Pages makes it simple. You can save Pages documents as Word files. Or import and edit Word documents right in Pages.

Install Pages On Mac
I'll assume that the place at the bottom of your screen where the Pages icon used to be is the Dock. The most common reason for its disappearance is that one day when you were just intending to click on it, you accidentally dragged it off the dock. When that happens, the icon disappears in a puff if simulated smoke.
Nothing is lost. That icon was just a shortcut to the actual file. To get it back there, the easiest way is to get Pages started again, which puts the icon temporarily on the Dock, and then Control-Click or Click and Hold, and select Keep icon on Dock.
So, you're probably wondering how to get Pages started. You can hunt it down in the Finder's Applications folder, iWork sub-folder and double-click it. A quicker way is to press Command-SpaceBar. This opens the Spotlight search tool window in the upper right corner of your screen. Type Pages and it will appear, after a short delay, identified as the Top Hit. Hit the Return key and you're off and running.
I use this method for starting all the apps that I can remember the names of. It's much faster than dragging the mouse pointer to the Dock if your hands are already on the keys.
