solving Pages 5.6.2 bugs or permanently using 4.3
i seem to get weird apostraphe's and other miscellanous data on my pages documents and RELY UPON THIS WORK to get work done. for about over a year now there has been an issue on my machines running mavericks and then yosemite where i have to MANUALLY open all my pages documents by selecting 4.3 which seems to show the documents just fine.
i have tried a number of different ways to get my computers to open these documents ALWAYS WITH 4.3 but nothing has seemed to make this happen. so i am constantly having to close out documents and reopen them in 4.3.
then there is some weird additional aggravation where if i want to duplicate a pages document i am prompted to upgrade the 4.3 document for some reason?
at one point i got an extremely detailed response from someone but to be honest my brain locked up when someone else told me there was some other issue with pages documents getting corrupted when stored on dropbox and i just dropped the whole issue because i was too terrified to imagine i have corrupted data in dropbox.
anyway, does anyone know what the current state of play is on solving these rather horrifying workflow issues?
