pages and numbers for an older iMac

I have been given an old iMac (Late 2012) running Catalina 10.15.7. I need pages and numbers installed, however the App Store will not allow an install as it states I need OS13 or later.. Help please.

Sadly, you need to have older version(s) of those Apps installed already. :(


Look into the Free LibreOffice, it handles MS Office files like Word & Excel, & Page Layout…

  • Version 7.4.7 – Requires High Sierra or later
  • The LibreOffice site is now offering
