Seriously is anyone else annoyed with this product? It's not user friendly. There are fonts missing from 09', there is no sort button, the tables don't remember anything I typed before, just to name a few things that are annoying or missing. I'd like to switch back. The last time I ranted I got some help, but it didn't fix anything. I'm still wicked dissapointed. Anyone know what I should do?

iWork '09 should still be installed.
Check your Applications folder. There should be a folder named iWorks '09.
Apple left the old versions intact after the update.

I did that, I tried to open a file and it gave me a pop-up saying I need a newer version of numbers to open the file. I can make new documents. But what about my other ones?
You're welcome

Open them again in V3 and File > Export to V2.

So that worked! Thank you! And then I turn on my computer this morning and TADAH it's back to Numbers 13. All my work from yesterday is off in some other universe that I can't access. This update is really getting on my nerves.
Yesterday I exported them to Numbers 09, saved them as Numbers 09, moved them to my desktop (today they are Numbers 13) and I worked on them. What did I do wrong?
"What did I do wrong?"
You opened the exported versions in Numbers 3 again (and saved them), or you opened the N3 versions (exporting a copy as v2 does not change or remove the existing v3 file).
If you opened the files by double-clicking their icons, that action willl also launch Numbers 3, which will (successfully) attempt to open them.
If you drag the v2 file's icon onto the Numbers ('09) icon on the Dock, or in the Applications folder, that should launch Numbers '09 and open the document.
Surest method is to launch Nunbers '09, then open the files via the File menu.

Still frustrated with the Numbers Update.
