Copying from numbers and pasting to pages does not work

I have just updated my MacBook and am unable to copy from numbers to paste on pages. I have searched for other cases of this and have found that I am able to paste into notes and then copy from that into pages but this is time consuming. Is there anything I can do to rectify this issue?

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

Cannot copy from Numbers to Pages on macOS 11.7.7 I cannot manage to copy information (a table) from a document in Numbers to a document in Pages. When I paste, nothing appears. When I paste in another app (e.g. a text editor), the data appears as expected, so the clipboard does contain the data. I have tried using the Menu (Edit > Copy / Paste). I have tried CMD+C / CMD+V. Copying from and pasting to other applications works fine. I can copy from/to Numbers from/to a text editor, and from/to Notes. (A neat table shows up when pasting in Notes) I can copy from/to Pages from/to a text editor and from/to Notes I have tried quitting the apps (Numbers and Pages), and restarting my mac. I am just absolutely unable to copy a table from Numbers to Pages. It is extremely frustrating. (As a workaround, I'm pasting the table first in Notes, then Copy from there and paste in Pages. This works).

Writing Tools feature not appearing on my MacBook Pro after macOS 15.1 update I have a MacBook Pro 2020 with M1 chip and just upgraded to Sequoia 15.1. I have played around on Safari a bit and the new features are there. Now I am trying to use Writing Tools, but it is not found anywhere. Specifically in notes, there is no icon and if I select text and right click, it does not appear there either. Any ideas? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

You must have a Pages table inserted with single-click on the first cell where you paste the clipboard contents from Numbers. Pages will autoexpand the table to accommodate the new columns and rows from the Numbers content.

Not all cell formats in Numbers are supported in Pages.
