How to remove old trial version of Pages

I trialled Pages a few years ago but never used it.  Since then I have bought Pages (and Numbers) through the App Store but when opening a document (Microsoft Windoze 08 is currently set as default) and I select 'Open With' I have two options for Pages.  How can I get rid of the trial version and keep the version I have bought?
For instance, I get an e-mail with a .doc file and I might like to now see how Pages displays the documents before I completely transition over from Windows (soon I hope!).  I'm forever opening the trial version of Pages so there must be a way to remove this option.
iMac (intel) 2008, Mac OS X Lion.
I perhaps trialled the whole iWork 08 suite but never got to grips with it.
Any help would be gratefully received.
With thanks,
MfM

D'oh. I've just answered my own question!  I had a little play with this idea and found the old iWork 08 folder and trashed it.  Emptied trash and now we're OK.
I hope my reply helps just in-case this topic comes up again.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Topic can be closed.

    I had a trial version of Pages for 30 days and then purchased the actual software without removing the trial. Now when I try to edit documents and save them it sometimes wont because it tells me I am using a trial version.... But sometimes it lets me!! How can I remove the trial version? I cannot tell which one I am using when I open it....

    Question asked and answered quite once a week.
    Go to my iDisk (address below)
    and download :
    For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Run it then reinstall the purchased software.

  • On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

    On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    You want to take the artwork from Pages, which you haven't paid for, into a competing product?

  • Unable to open Aperture 2 because it is apparently in conflict with an old trial version 3. Any tips how to solve this?

    I am unable to open my Aperture2.
    The following warning message shows on top of the ususl opening window:
    Quote
    The libraryin "users/pedro/pictures/Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary" cannot be loaded because it is from newer version of Aperture.
    Unquote
    It looks like some kind of conflict with an old trial version 3, to which I never upgraded.
    Any tips to help me solving the issue?

    Do you need to run Aperture 2, or do you need to open the "Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary"?
    If you only want to run Aperture 2, then launch Aperture by double-clicking your regular Aperture 2 library; this should open Aperture on the correct library. In Aperture 3 you also simply could hold down the options-key while double-clicking the Aperture Applications icon in the Dock - probably this works in Aperture 2 as well,
    But if you need to open your Aperture 3 trial library with Aperture 2, because you converted your Aperture 2 library to Aperture 3 format; there is no easy way to do it. The best would be to find a backup of your library from the time before you converted it. If you do not have such a backup, then the easiest way would be to upgrade to Aperture 3 at this point.
    I do not know enough about the Aperture 2 library format to be able to tell you how to manually downgrade an Aperture 3 library to Aperture 2 format.

  • PSE installation issues - How do you uninstall trial version???

    I've read several posts about this already, but I can't seem to figure out how to uninstall the trial version of PSE for mac. (I am getting the critical errors/incompatible payloads error message. Shame on Adobe for not fixing this yet.)
    I read not to dump it into the trash. But when I launch the program from untilities I don't see any option to unintall. One post said to "remove it" How do you do this? The delete key doesn't work. How on earth do you uninstall something? I can't even get into the trial version because it keeps asking for a serial number (and I've read entering it doesn't help. I'm so lost, and really didn't plan on spending my hard earned Friday night doing this.) Any help would be much much appreciated!

    There is no uninstaller. The only two icons in the Adobe Installer folder were something called Exented Scripts Installer and the Photoshop Elements icon. I got tired of messing around with it after several hours and finally ran the cleanscript 3 program which worked; I was able to install the purchased version right away. It still really bothers me that I could not figure out how to uninstall though, I'm sure I will need to in the future.
    I wonder if my computer is just missing this installer/uninstaller option?

  • How can I download a version of Pages for my computer with Snow Leopard

    How can I download a version of Pages for my old MacBook that can only run Snow Leopard?

    Hi nteo,
    See this Mac knowledge base article.
    Snow Leopard must be at least version 10.6.6 to access the Mac app store. Use Apple menu > About this Mac to determine the version you have installed. Use Software Update to update the OS, if necessary.

  • How to remove a list from a page ?

    I added a list to a page and then later decided it would be easier to add the list to page 0. Now I can't find how to remove the list from the page.
    Edited by: Rene W. on Oct 6, 2008 1:52 AM

    Ok sorry I understood you wrong then.
    I tried to recontruct your problem and did the following things.
    1. Created a new list in: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Shared Components>Lists>Create / Edit List
    2. Created a new region on page 2: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 2>Create Region Type: List, Name:"test1"
    3. Created a new region on page 1: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 1>Create Region Type: List, Name: "test2"
    4. Deleted region "test1" on page 2
    5. List and region still survived on page 1. :D

    Doing a factory reset will delete your Firefox install. Even if you move the app to the sdcard.

  • Trial version of pages

    trying to print a document from the trial version of pages, in iwork. First document printed fine...second comes out really bad...the pictures are just globs of color.......its not the printer because i can print other pictures fine. I'm wondering if its because It's the trial version?? Like "word" in the trial version....you can't print unless you buy it. Is "pages" the same way?? thanks...

    Hello!
    I have had no trouble printing any number of copies from the trial version of Pages. The only strange thing that happened to me with the trial version was that my 30 free days ran out after only a week and I had to pay in order to keep using it!
