Q: Can Pages 5 import Pages 2 documents?
My iBook G4 died last week. I was using iWork '06, which has Pages 2, so I am wondering if I can just import my Pages documents with the current Pages app or if I will have to use TextEdit and do a lot of copying and pasting. Except for a few documents that use tables there is nothing complicated about them.

Why can't you just reinstall iWork '06? If you don't have the original CD/DVD, check eBay or Amazon for a copy.
Also, try LibreOffice. I don't know if it can open Pages documents but it can open many old AppleWorks documents, so it's worth a try since it's free.
The current version of Pages, Pages 5, is supposed to be able to open Pages 3 & 4 documents, but Pages 2 is not listed. The current version requires at least Mavericks, OS X 10.9.
