If you get that message you have used Pages09 (probably a trial version) and Pages08 can't open it. The document has to be sved as iWork08. Look in the finder if you can find a Pages09 (iwork09) on you computer.
Thanks for the response; but no Pages 09 in my applications. I tried saving as .iwork08 but then could not open.
It keeps saying new version needed but the iwork site does not explain how to obtain. Regards, DJvR
The error message is weird of you don't have a Pages09 on your computer or it isn't created in Pages09.
You could try to copy the content of the document and paste into a new one, or into a textEdit document. sometimes documents get corrupted and this is often a way to solve it. Textedit document can be opened in Pages if they are in the rtf format. Then you can try again to save it in Pages.
Thanks again. Copy & paste worked and was openable in pages. Weird that the error message came with the other saved doc. The iwork screen gives no leads on how to obtain the up grade for the new version and it is not in the recommended up grades.
Kind regards, DJvR
Good that it got solved. The message is given as I said if the document is save in a newer Pages version but I guess that a corruption can do it too. In your case I don't think a newer Pages would have helped you. Nowadays yo can only buy it from the Mac AppStore and for that you need system 10.6.6 at least.
