Thanks Ronni,

I thought the quick solution would be to buy Pages 09.   ( I tried a colleague but it turns out she's using an iPad)

I am using Mac 10.7.5 and and the only version from the Mac store requires 10.9 or better.   So is there somewhere I can get hold of Pages 09?

Hi Bill,

A Pages document created in Pages'09 (4.0) cannot be opened in Pages'08 (3.0)
A pages document created in Pages 5  cannot be opened in Pages 4

iWork is not backwards compatible... You can open a Pages'08 document in Pages '09 but not the other way around. (You can go forward but not backwards)

If you can get someone to open the document in Pages'09 (or whatever version it was created in) they could then... 
1. choose 'Save As' 
2. Type a new name for the document in the 'Save As' field
3. Choose where you want to save the document
4. Select "Save a copy as", and choose iWork'08 or Word Document from the pop-up menu
5. Click save

Cheers,

Folks,

Is there any way of opening a document made in a late (but unknown version) of Pages  in Pages 3.0.3?  I have the document also as a PDF.
