Does anyone know how to keep Pages from opening a new blank document every time it launches? I thought this used to be a preferences option but my Pages preferences are very limited. I am running version 5.6.2. I know it's an old version, but hoping someone knows.

Hello, Clipster88!
We understand you're trying to configure Pages so that it does not open a new, blank document every time you launch the app.
You're correct in that this is done in Preferences. Let's see if the version you're running has this option. To start open Pages, then click on Pages in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Click on the General tab, then make sure "Show Template Chooser" is selected. If "Use template" is check marked, then this will open the document type that is chosen under the drop down menu.
Cheers!
