I figured out how you can get the old version of pages & it doesn't matter whether or not you have iwork or time machine or anything...All you need is the annoying new version already downloaded and a mac. (I did it on my macbook pro)
Step One: Click on your launchpad & drag the pages app to your trashcan.
Step Two: Go here http://support.apple.com/downloads/#pages and download the "Pages Endnote plug in v1.0"
Step Three: Go to your downloads, open/double click what you just downloaded and you should then be promted to click a few 'yes open, download, start, next, i agree' things.
Step Four: Go back to the website I gave you, download the "Pages 2.0.1" and double click/open it..(.nothing should happen if a window pops open click 'yes i agree, next-blahblahblah' if you dont have that option just close it)
Step Five: Go to your app store and download the pages app...you should be able to open your launchpad now and see the old pages icon (dark purple inkpot with inkpen) sparkling. Open and viola it's the old pages 🙂
