After Pages has crashed, the next time you want to launch it, press the shift key while launching Pages. This will prevent it from automatically referencing its last application state (crashed), and if the application package or the current document are not damaged, it should open normally.


Unless you are using a third-party font tool that has disabled some font(s) that Pages requires for normal operation.


Are you attempting to open Pages documents on the local filesystem, or iCloud Drive, or another cloud, or NAS server location?
