Apple Updates iWork Apps for iOS and macOS to Version 11

It prints what you tell it to print. If you don't want it to print a black background then obviously don't use a black background. If you told it to print a black background with white letters, and it didn't print the background but did print the white letters, then it would look like a picture of the Abominable Snowman during a snowstorm, and what would be the point of that? You control the output.

I thought the black background was intended to be easier on your eyes, not to have an actual black page with white letters in the final work... This way, if you have a dark mode with everything black, the pages document with a white background will be like a white Google page in the dark: blinding.

That’s why I thought the black background with white letters was sort of a dark mode for Pages, instead of an actual desired black page with white letters.

So far, all of my Numbers documents are working between version 10.1 on Mojave and version 11 on Big Sur. if there are any features added that are not cross compatible with the ver 10.1, I've not run into any of them yet.

Still need to test Pages and Keynote documents.

Did you only upgrade Numbers on different Macs running different versions of macOS, or did you also upgrade the iOS Numbers and test with the older 10.1 version of macOS?

On my two Macs, I am running macOS Mojave and macOS Big Sur. I also upgraded my iPhone 8 Plus and iPad Pro 11-inch 2018 model with the latest updates and Numbers documents so far work across all of the devices and different versions without any compatibility issues. I've not tested any Pages or Keynote editing of documents across these devices yet but hope to over the next few weeks.

@chillywilly Thank you, great to hear. My iOS devices are running 14, but need to keep the Mac on 10.14 due to older software compatibility.

I have a couple clients who run parallels desktop just so they can use word perfect. They cannot stand Microsoft word.

Wordperfect is preferred by Law offices and academia. Format control over Word is the main reason from what I understand.
