COMPUTERS: iWork and Address Book/Contacts

Numbers '08 has crashed three times on me today. I'd like to update to something more compatible with High Sierra but the App Store isn't carrying that version. If there's a legal fix for the issue, I'd be glad to know of it. Will keep looking.

(And I just found out: Keynote crashes whenever I try to launch it.)

And my address book files imported successfully into Contacts...but have since been reduced to two contacts. Not sure how that happened, and not happy about it.

I have the same problem with iMovie: no older version to install on my Sierra laptop. It sucks that Apple is do determined that everyone MUST run the latest OS.

I really don't care for their office productivity suite because - for me - it encourages too much fiddling with presentation. I just want to crunch numbers and put words on paper, so I use LibreOffice. I would prefer to delete them, but knowing Apple's fondness for not letting you reload them after a new OS generation is released, I'll keep them. They'll provide updates for old versions, just no new install images.
