Using iWorks 8 or 9 with Mavericks

Question

Using iWorks 8 or 9 with Mavericks

I have some trouble with Page 5 (Mavericks) and I would like to know if it is possible to run iWorks 8 opr iWorks 9 with Mavericks.

All my files have been created with iWorks6 and iWorks8 and now, Page-Numbers-Keynote refuse to open them because they are too old and ask me to save them in 09. But I have not these old versions anymore. I have a zip (iWorks8.zip) but it is impossible to uncompress this archive (Err 1)...

Is it possible to reinstall iWorks 8, then update to 9 and run it to save my files in 09 format ?

May I have to buy again a old version of Page to be able to open my files ?

I am really annoyed...

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Hi PeeweeStAvril,

I apologize, I am a bit unclear on your exact issue. Are you certain that it is asking you to upgrade the documents to the iWorks '09 format, or is it asking you to upgrade them because it is recognizing them as the iWorks '09 format? If it is the latter, you may find the following articles helpful:
