Hi there, RJO43.


I see that you're unable to open Numbers spreadsheets or Pages documents on your Mac since updating to macOS 10.15.1, and I'm glad to help.


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac -- Restart your Mac in safe mode and test how it responds. If it works while in safe mode, reboot normally and test again in your own user account.


If this doesn't correct the problem, please describe the issue in greater detail. Please include the full text of any messages you receive. The more information you provide, the better we'll be able to offer additional guidance.


Take care.
