    The newest versions of Pages 6 & Numbers 4 require macOS Sierra, 10.12.

    Are you really in such a rush to create even more incompatible documents that no-one else can open?

     

    Has anyone out there tested Pages '09 v4.3 on Sierra?

     

    I'm in no rush to "upgrade", even less so if I lose Pages '09 functionality.

    I have not had any issues running Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3 in Sierra. That's not to say that there aren't minor issues with these apps just as there are with El Capitan & Yosemite, but there haven't been any that affect me in my every day use.

    A small blessing Peggy.

     

    I keep thinking of Steven Sondheim's In The Woods, every time Apple releases a new OS these days. As in going in deeper...

     

    I don't see much improvements, in fact the contrary. Apple is just tying up its users ever tighter and with ever more problems even if they do exactly what Apple tells them to do.
