[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1575279"] If you "did the Get Info>File Association thing" properly, then double click should open a .pages file in the older Pages version, not Pages 5. And if you create a new document in Pages '09, it will be in that older format. What may be happening is that you didn't apply the change to all pages documents and that you are opening Pages5, not Pages '09 to create new documents. I put the new iWork apps into a folder and extracted from the iWorks 09 folder to Applications, then changed the icon on the Dock to point to the old version. After that I clicked on one .pages document and associated it with the older version, and applied that to all (password was required). I repeated for .numbers files aw wall. I DO have a view files that are in the new format, and for those I have to right click, open with and pick the new version. [/QUOTE]
