How can you import a Pages document into Notes?

I want to be able to import a pages document into my Notes app [working on desktop] - just tried [File-Import to Notes] and selected or tried to the document and it was greyed out and could not be selected.

Mac mini, macOS 12.6

Victoria,


You can simply create a new note and then drag and drop the Pages document into the Note.



When you double-click on that embedded Pages document, it will open in Pages.


Notes imports are restricted to text-oriented documents as discussed in Import and export notes on Mac - Apple Support. For instance, if I took that original Pages document and exported it to RTF (or RTFD in this case), then the Notes import chooser would reveal the RTFD and import the equation in that document:



RTFD because the equation in that Pages document is an embedded MathML formula.
