Is it possible to install iWork '13 and keep iWork '09 running too?
Everyone is saying how 'dumbed down' the new versions of Keynote, Numbers and Pages are...is there a way to test out the new programs without overriding the '09 versions? If I open up the App Store it just says I need to update and I fear this will wipe out iWork '09 completely but I read somewhere it was possible to have both...?

When you download the new iWork IOS versions, the previous versions of iWork applications go into a folder in you Applications Folder called, "iWork '09". To keep using the old versions with your old files, first start the old applications and then open the file from within the program. If you double-click your old files they will be opened (and converted) to work with the new applications....and won't be open-able by your old applications afterward.

Thank you so much!
That was most helpful 🙂
Just to confirm, does it make a difference if I simply 'update' from the App Store or download from the Apple website?
I would recommend using the App Store. While the store will show it as an "Update"...it is treated as a different application. (Keynote IOS vs Keynote)
Thanks again RandyfromBlacksburg!
I took a peek at the new iOS versions...will definitely be keeping '09.
