You will need Pages v10.1 (Mojave) or v10.2 (Catalina-only) to open an iBooks Author (.iba) document. Apple has an article describing what happens to certain .iba content when opened (translated) into the .pages document format.

How about if in Pages you choose File > Open and then select your .iba file?

What version of Pages exactly do you have?

Thanks Tom

I tried opening from Pages, but it will not find it. I am using v8.1.

I think I need to upgrade from High Sierra to get the more recent Pages.
