Thanks. I pressed Run and it literally presses for a second. I see 'running' for a second in the Result table below and then the 'Run' option is full green again, like I've never touched it.

Has it done the job in a second? Or is something not connecting? I can't hear my computer doing anything specific..

It probably had. Check if the iwork folder is gone from the application folder.

Ok, thanks F, just tried again to buy the Pages and they said I couldn't as software was already installed on my computer (still).

then again they asked me to update it on the software update, but there's nothing there for Pages and if i put in 'Pages' it just takes me back to the link to buy again, full circle..

Sorry this is taking so much time.

If the message is that you Pages is installed all haven't be uninstalled. The script might take some time to perform.

You could do it manually. What you really need to delete is:

User/Applications/iWork '09 folder
User/Library/Application Support/iWork '09
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Numbers.plist
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Pages.plist
…substitute your User name (the one with the little house icon on it) for "User".
Also check the System Library for these files and folders, usually:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iWork '09
