Numbers 08 file will not open in Numbers 3.0
I updated my Numbers application so I could use the sister app wtih my iPad.
I try to open a couple of my 08 Numbers files and I get the following message:
"This spreadsheet can't be opened because it's too old.
To open it, save it with Numbers '09 first.
I can't believe that a newer version of Numbers can't open older versions. This is going to be a serious problem as we have lots of 08 Numbers files.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I find it hard to believe that I have lost access to the files. It is my understanding that there was an 09' and that Numbers 3 is 09 for the Maveric OS update (which I uploaded).
Any advise?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Numbers 08 file compatibility
