Can you open/work on Pages '08 documents in Yosemite? I'm waiting to upgrade from Mavericks as I've heard it won't work with older Pages documents. This is critical question as all my main documents are Pages '08.
Yes you open it with Pages '08 or Pages '09 if you have it, both of which run on most OS X versions, including Yosemite.
Pages 5.5.2 can't open Pages '08 documents and only runs on Yosemite so is a very bad format for exchanging files or even preserving them into the future.

Thanks, Peter. So to recap, I can upgrade to Yosemite and still use pages '08 (on both my iMac and MacBook Pro), but need to to avoid upgrading to the new Pages 5.5.2 as it won't open my Pages 3.0.3 docs in Yosemite. Do I have this right? I like sticking with the older Pages as it does exactly what I need it to do without any issues, including exporting docs in Word.
Yes Pages '08 v3.03 runs fine although better is to have Pages '09.

Understood. Thanks very much!
Either before, or immediately after you upgrade to Yosemite, visit System Preferences ▸ App Store, and uncheck the following to prevent the App Store automatically downloading and installing Pages v5.5.2:
Leave the following checked:
Will do, and thanks very much. It's currently unchecked, but I'll recheck when I get Yosemite installed to make sure.
