why are multiple paragraphs selected in classic letter.

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help with this. The problem occurs on iPad and Macbook.

When I open the sample documents provided in Pages such as

letter when I try to select one paragraph all the paragraphs in the body are selected. I want to select part of 1 paragraph.

Does anyone know a solution please?

Thank you

iPad, iPadOS 16

Typing text in Pages with Ventura OS - text box now required?? After installing Ventura, when I open a blank document in Pages, I can't seem to enter any text unless I use a text box. Same with cut and paste - it goes into a text box. Is this the default now? If so, this is a change from the prior OS and more a really annoying nuisance than convenience..

Problem with selecting multiple paragraphs of text in apple books app to add notes or highlight text (iPadOS 18.3) When reading many ePub books in the Apple Book app, the ability to select multiple paragraphs at once to take notes or highlight them has disappeared. I noticed that after the update, you can now select one paragraph, but if you drag the selection further, it disappears (if you drag up, a zoom may appear, if down, nothing). At the same time, if you return the selection to the first paragraph without releasing your finger, the selection within this paragraph remains. This problem is observed both on the iPad mini 7 and the iPad Pro 11 M1. Both devices have been updated to iPadOS 18.3. I tried to open the same book on the iPad Pro 11 2018, which still has iPadOS 17.6, and there is no such problem. Everything work fine. Also, there is no such problem on the iPhone 14 Pro and MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro. I can highlight several paragraphs at once and there are no such problems. Please note that the problem does not affect all books, but a fairly large number of those that I tested. There was no such problem before. I am attaching a video to illustrate the problem: https://youtube.com/shorts/dRxGuoD1dWc I hope you will fix this bug, because after the updates the application on iPads started to work worse.

All of those paragraphs are in the same placeholder text block and selecting anything in that text selects all of it. You simply enter your own text to replace that boilerplate text that Apple uses in its templates.
