In Yosemite, I have usually been able to avoid the newer versions of Pages and Numbers by going to a file’s Get Info, and in the "Open With" box selecting the iWork ’09 versions of Pages and Numbers. Afterwards that file (and most similar files) open in iWork ’09 whenever I double-click on them. I won’t lose that ability if I upgrade to El Capitan, will I? Jim
