PAGES '09, version 4.2 (1008) "--document--" can not be opened. "The required index.xml file is missing" The program has been working great for years till last days
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Pages for Mac
Pages '09 cannot open any document created, or converted by Pages v5, or v6, because the document architecture does not contain an index.xml internal file, and the documents are not backwards compatible.
If you have Pages v5 installed on your Mac, then actually quit Pages '09, and then double-click this document to have it opened in Pages v5. Then export to Pages '09 format. An alternative is to right-click on the document, and then follow the Open With submenu to the correct version of Pages.
If you do not have Pages v5 installed, hop out to iCloud dot com, sign-in with your Apple ID, and open this document with Pages for iCloud, and then download as a Word document that you can open in Pages '09.

MacKeeper is the most insidious piece of software that you could possibly install on your Mac — whether intentionally, or otherwise. You would be best served to fully uninstall it before it damages your operating system and files.
Hundreds of posts about this malware have been recorded over in the Mac OS & System Software Support Communities for each operating system it was installed in.
Since Fall 2013, we have been informing users that the following dialog box is issued from Pages '09 when attempting to open incompatible Pages v5 or v6 documents (which do not contain the index.xml file). It is not MacKeeper on your machine that is causing this Pages '09 message.
Thank You!! problem solved differently. Using MacKeeper, problem was that
with TOO MANY programs open at one time, the computer got "confused" and
would 'LOOSE' the index file it was needing. Thanks!!
