    You should have the old Numbers version, so open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the old Numbers version.

     

    If you opened any Numbers document with the new version, you may want to export it to Numbers '09, so open these documents with the new version and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export > Numbers '09.

     

    Apple announced new features will be added to the new iWork for OS X version > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

    Look for the old Numbers in a subfolder within your Applications folder named iWork '09 or similar.  It can run at the same time as Numbers 3.0, which is the version in Applications (not in a subfolder). The icons are similar so it's easy to get confused.  Best keep your original Numbers 2.3 documents in a safe place as it's easy to open them in Numbers 3.0 by mistake, which changes the format, making it necessary to "export" them back.

     

    If you decide to check out Numbers 3.0 some more, you might be interested in checking out the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads.
