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.

To delete a custom template:

m

In the Finder, navigate to the folder in which you saved the template, and drag the

template to the Trash. By default, the folder is:

[Home Folder]/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
