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.
