Q: What's the oldest version of MacOS that supports Pages 5?
My title says it all. I'm using the new Pages, but I'm working with someone who's probably using Lion, and he doesn't think he can download the new iWork apps, so I have to keep exporting my work to Pages '09 format before emailing it to him. If his Mac can't be updated to Mavericks (I know not all Intel Macs can be, like my own early 2008 MacBook), is there hope for him?

There are two avenues of hope for him: 1) convince everyone he trades documents with to use Pages 09, which is stable and has a much larger feature set than the very buggy Pages 5.1 or 2) wait until Apple brings iWork out of its unofficial beta and offers a usuable product. Actually, there is a thrid option: use Word or some competing software like LibreOffice.
