Any solutions?

2.9 GHz Intel Core i5

Try creating a fresh macOS user account — does the problem occur there as well?

I'll try. Strangely, it happens on both my Desktop and Laptop machines.

I have the same OS and Pages version on this machine I'm using right now. If you tell me the steps you used I'll try to replicate it. (I don't do much in Pages.)

Are you editing a synced document? Where is the image sourced from? I've had issues in the past where the image from Photos/iPhoto caused the document to crash.

I'm trying to add text to a already created document, over a graphic. It's a map of a subdivision and I'm trying to add "SOLD" over Lots.
As I add the "SOLDS" over the graphic, it unexpectedly quits before I can save the edited version.

The image is sourced from a PDF.

See if you can try with a different image source. I'm sure you can google a million or so that have proper transparency and such. IOW, overlay an image rather than text.

If the target document is a PDF then you would likely be better off using Preview and annotating in there. I'm sorry but I'm not really clear on what format is which.
