Typing text in Pages with Ventura OS - text box now required?? After installing Ventura, when I open a blank document in Pages, I can't seem to enter any text unless I use a text box. Same with cut and paste - it goes into a text box. Is this the default now? If so, this is a change from the prior OS and more a really annoying nuisance than convenience..

Preview PDF not searching for exact phrase I can't search for exact phrases in Preview app for PDFs. If I put the phrase or sentence in quotation marks, it'll say "No Results Found" on the left hand side. I'm on MacOS Ventura 13.0.1, and I put it on safe mode and it did not fix. I went on another user on my MacBook and it still didn't work. Contacted Support and they told me to start using 3rd party PDF apps. Any suggestions?

Not all PDFs are editable. You can however use Preview's markup feature to add text or anything else.
