Step 4: Saving a Custom Template
You can save your new template so that it appears in the Template Chooser. When
another person opens the template to use it, it opens in exactly the same state as you
saved it. That means you can choose to leave the Styles drawer open or closed, or
leave invisibles, rulers, and layout marks visible.
To save the current template as a custom template:
1 Choose File > Save as Template.
2 Type a name for the template.
3 Your template will be saved in the My Templates pane of the Template Chooser. If you
don't want your template to appear here, save it in another location.
You can create a new Template category by creating a new folder in the following
location:
[Home Folder]/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates
4 Click Save.
