keep getting a notice Index.xml file missing when trying to open a file in numbers
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), iOS 9.1
That is an error that often occurs when you are trying to open a Numbers 3 document using Numbers 2 (Numbers '09).
Hi Glenn,
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork (Numbers, Pages and Keynote).
Need newer version of Numbers to open file
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.x on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.
