Numbers is wonderful to use especially compared to the horror that is excel!!!!
It’s even nicer to use than google sheets wich itself is miles ahead of excel!
Got a tip for us?

Well... YES.
New versions in my iOS devices bring substantial upgrades (now handwriting is handled in more languages other than English).
Will iOS versions sync flawlessly with Mojave versions? Yes, it worries me; perhaps new formatting details in documents could cause incompatibility. Till now, everything synced without problem (just perhaps some absent font, and had a fix).
(I need Mojave for some essential 32bit sound plugins, and my iMac is last gen which came in Mojave).
I understand I may be in the minority, but I do think how you use the app is a significant factor. Again, for my purposes I prefer Numbers. It's funny because I use Numbers because it has the features I need and in my view much less "painful" to use than Excel - even though Excel would certainly work for me as well. I have Excel that I use occasionally when I need its features.
It's all just opinion, now everyone knows mine and yours as it relates to Numbers and Excel.
You will determine this by hitting Print and the Preview Panel for printing will reveal whether or not it is black.
I write my novels for the Book Store via Pages. It works fantastically, with just a few missing features that I'd love see implemented, and of course full support for ePub 3.2.
That's a great tip! I never even tried that because I only expect that shortcut to work in a web browser.
As to why they only run on current macOS, is this an universal binary (x86 and ARM in the same file) or separate downloads depending on the arch?
Somehow doubt that older versions would know how to handle those.

Yes, Pages 11.0 is showing to me as Universal on my Intel MBP '20. Not sure about the previous version and if that was Universal or Intel. I suspect Universal given M1 Macs were released prior to Pages 11.0.
Obviously the entire point if having "Pages" is to drive hardware sales. Apple gives away their software so that you have a reason by buy their hardware. So they really have to stop allowing their newest software to run on older hardware.
"Keynote also includes an option to view presenter notes, current slide, and next slide in a separate window when presenting..."
YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!
YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!
Just checked on my rMB (which I hadn't updated yet) 10.3.9 is also listed as "Universal".
No idea if and far back that would run on anything but BigSur.
Running 10 year old hardware, complaining that free software doesn’t support it any more!
Easy answer, just stick with the version which works on your ancient hardware - Apple aren’t forcing you to upgrade (indeed they won’t let you upgrade if your system won’t support it anyway).
Wild guess: this was meant to coincide with a hardware release. But that event got pushed back. Maybe hidden functionality in these updates that benefit new hardware?
But like I said, wild guess.
I write a lot and often need to generate fairly complex tables, and sometimes need to have both portrait and landscape layouts in a single document. I loathe MS Word. It's so bloated and it seems they move stuff around about every other generation so I have to hunt for things. I really like Pages for writing and editing text. Unfortunately it just lacks capabilities that make it workable for my primary word processor. I never use Excel except to move data. And I can write the data to Excel, and read data from Excel via my primary statistical analysis program.
I use it for every presentation I can. When I have to use PowerPoint, it's just a letdown on every level.
One main reason is they use it internally.
has anyone had this epiphany or a thought of elation from out of the blue were a feeling o fjoy can be short lived like:
"Wow, im so happy pages, numbers, reminder and other icloud programs are really syncing well in all my devices, im so happy!"
then there is no further support for the MacBook air running Mojave, or that iphone used just for backup or remote tasks.
i just hope these programs work in my Macbook Air tonite
if i decide or even want to open that laptop up.

I'm working on a manual at work. They gave me a Mac laptop to do it on, so I am just using pages since it's installed already. I am really enjoying working with it.
