From the Help Desk:
Our student loaner laptops have an older operating system on them and therefore, and older version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Students that are issued a loaner will not be able to open the version you upload in Angel. You will have to EXPORT your file to one of the following:
1) a PDF that they can open in Preview and view and/or edit.
2) export to the ’09 version of the application.
Here’s how to do this:
One the top menu bar > choose FILE > EXPORT TO > and then choose PDF or the ’09 version.
