Juanita Roushdy has a question about continuing to use a version of Pages she prefers:

1. Download Pages For Mac 10.13 64-bit
2. Download Pages For Mac 10.12

I have an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and uses Pages ’09 (version 4.1), which I absolutely love and use for all kinds of newsletters, etc.

Many Mac users who are attempting to download macOS High Sierra from the Mac App Store will find that a small 19 MB version of “Install macOS High Sierra.app” downloads to the /Applications folder of the target Mac, rather than the complete 5.2 GB Installer application for macOS High Sierra. This is annoying because it prevents a single.

Or if you don’t have high-speed internet or WiFi connectivity, then you can also Free Download macOS 10.13.6.DMG or.PKG offline installation files available for. Our built-in antivirus scanned this Mac download and rated it as virus free. The application lies within Productivity Tools, more precisely Office Tools. The most popular versions of the program are 5.5, 4.3 and 3.0. The actual developer of this software for Mac is Apple Inc. This software can be installed on Mac OS X 10.10 or later.

She also has a MacBook Air with macOS Sierra and the latest Pages (version 6.1) installed, but she hates it. She’s not alone. Many people didn’t like the switchover, which Apple built from the ground up a few years ago. It’s really a different software package with largely similar features, but different interactions for many tasks.

She asks: “Can I update my iMac to Sierra and still run Pages version 4.1?”

The short answer is: yes. Whether by intent or not, Pages ’09 has continued to work for several releases past Apple’s shift to Pages 5 and then 6. I regularly have to fire up the old version of Pages for some tasks I don’t like in Pages 6 or can’t perform in it.

Pages ’09 doesn’t properly recognize which files it can open, however, so if you try to open a file created in Pages 5 or 6, you’ll receive an error that reads, “The required index.xml file is missing.” (Pages 5 and 6 can export files to Pages ’09 format, however, and can open Pages ’09 formats and convert them.)

I’d also recommend updating Pages 4.1 to the latest version Apple released in that series, which is 4.3, but it doesn’t appear as if 10.6.8 will allow the update to be installed. You should be able to perform that update in Sierra.
