Saving a Custom Template
You can save your new template so that it appears in the Template Chooser.
When a user chooses the template to create a new document, the new document
opens in exactly the same state as when you saved it. That means you can choose to
leave the Styles drawer open or closed; leave invisibles, rulers, and layout marks visible;
and so on.
To save a custom template:
1
Choose File > “Save as Template.”
2
Type a name for the template.
3
Specify a folder in which to save your template.
By default, it will be saved in your home folder in Library/Application Support/iWork/
Pages/Templates/My Templates/ and it will appear in the My Templates pane of the
Template Chooser.

To save the template in a different location in your home folder, go to Library/
Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/ and create a new folder. The folder name
is used as the template category in the Template Chooser.
4
Click Save.
To delete a custom template, in the Finder navigate to the folder in which you saved
the template, and drag the template to the Trash.
