A blank page can be opened in Pages on my Mac running Sequoia 15.4.1 but no cursor can be raised. No typing can be made on the blank page.

Are you referring to a newly created document? or opening an existing one?
Was this a document that you could previously edit? and you've somehow lost that ability? or something that's never worked?
Off-hand, it sounds like the document is a Page Layout-based document, where you have to place text blocks on the page into which you add text. These differ from Word Processing-based documents that are more of a continuous flow and make assumptions on where you want the text to go.
Check File -> Convert to Page Layout and/or Convert to Word Processing to see if that makes a difference, otherwise more details are needed.

Additional to Camelot's recommendation and observation about the type of Pages document you have opened, I suggest that you ensure that you are using Pages v14.4 and keep your version of macOS current by updating to version 15.6.1.

Thanks - it seems to have sorted itself out - it now selects a word processing page whatever way I open a new document. I am now running 14.4
Thanks for your help - I am now running 14.4 and will continue to upgrade
