iWork disappeared after installing MS Office for Mac

New iMac - Lion

Had iWork on machine.

Installed MS Office for Mac (2011) so that I could get up to speed quickly (switching from PC to Mac) & keep working.

Wanting to learn to use Pages, Numbers & Keynote so I went to open Pages & can't find any of the iWork suite anywhere. Searched machine & there's nothing.

Don't see any documentation anywhere stating that iWork gets uninstalled when installing MS Office so I have no idea what happened.

I want both! Anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks in advance!

iWork-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I apologize but I never saw M…oSoft Office deleting iWork apps.

The day I installed it to borrow the embedded fonts, iWork was installed and nothing was deleted.

From the Finder, type cmd + F

And define the request as above :

I appreciate you trying...

I tried searching (and just did, again, what you'd suggested above), and nothing comes up for Pages...

So, don't waste more time.

Go to my Box's public folder (link below), navigate to :

Download uninstall iWork'09.zip

Unpack it

run the embedded script to get rid of remaining iWork components then reinstall and apply the required updates.

You might without knowing it have deleted iWork or iWork wasn't never really installed. You can download a trial of iWork from here Apple - iWork - Download a 30-day trial of iWork.
