Accessing multi-section templates in Pages 5... how?

We have some templates created in Pages 4.3 that have multiple sections defined. (A cover page, various internal Body page styles, and an end page). We constructed our documents in 4.3 using selections from the various sections in the templates (e.g. get a cover with CC text on it, a two column body and a CC end-page, or a cover with commercial copyright, single column body text blank back page etc.).
I can create a new document from the 4.3 template in Pages 5, but I can't work out how to access these various internal sections. Anyone know?

I've just confirmed that the templates features have been removed - if you 'roundtrip' a Pages 09 document into Pages 5 and then save it back to Pages 09, the resulting document has had all the template section related information removed along the way.
This is a serious blow for us - we similarly use multi-purpose templates in Pages 09 (e.g. just one for all the variations of invoice we generate). Initial reports in these fora and elsewhere suggest that there are several other key features that didn't make it through to the latest version of Pages - unclear whether these make the application unusable in our production environment or not.
What is most frustrating is that the new Pages finally has proper RTL support (which we've been wanting for ages)... aaagh!
But at least we were just about to create a new set of templates, so maybe we use this as 'final nail in coffin' and invest this time in another app - I guess NeoOffice is the most likely candidate, as MS Office (on OSX) still does not support RTL in any sensible fashion.

Creating multi-section templates in Pages 5 - how?

In Pages 4.3 you could define and name various multi-page sections that lived 'within' a document template, and then pick from these to build up a document.
You could control these internal sections within the template using the "Manage Pages..." command (having first moved arbitrary sets of pages to the template area using the "Capture pages..." command.
I can't find any equivalent to either of these commands in Pages 5 - am I missing something? Or is Pages 5 currently short of this feature?

Delete a template in pages also how to delete a page if you have more than one

Hi how do you delete a template from pages,also if you have more than one page and you only want one how do you delete the other page.

You have to navigate to the My Templates folder in the Application Support folder in your System Library which is hidden by default in OSX 10.7.5. Hold down the option key when you click on the Go menu in Finder and all will be revealed.
A page only exists because it has content on it, even if that is an invisible like a space, tab, return or page break. Click on the page you want to clear and delete the content.
Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
to see what is there.

I'm in a multi-page document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

I'm in a multi-page Pages document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

Not on my document. I have a 7 page document open. The "flashing vertical bar" is at the top of page 3. I have the thumbnail view showing. I click page break and two blank pages are added to the end of my document. I have to scrool thru the pages to see that the 2 pages were added as they do not appear in the layout view... I'm not sure if it is inserting a "section" as it adds two blank pages.. But I am clicking on "INSERT PAGE BREAK".. So guess there are still a lot of bugs to fix..
Thanks again

How do I remove a blank page from a section of 4 pages? (Pages)

1 page (page 4) in a section of 4 pages is blank. How do I remove that page only? I followed the help instructions; but was asked if I was sure I want to delete pages 1-4.

What version of Pages?
What instructions? It sounds like you have got the wrong ones and are trying to delete a page in the Thumbnails, which will delete th entire section.
If you have a blank page in a Word Processing template, it is because there is some text on it, even a return, tab, space or page break:
Menu > View > Show Invisibles > backspace over whatever it is to get rid of it

How to create a new template for pages in iPad?

How to create a new template for pages in iPad?

In spite of the latest updates Pages for iPad does not support:
1) User templates
2) Headers
3) Footers
4) Page numbers
and it is not compatible with Pages for OSX, a document cannot be edited alternatively on Mac and iPad without destroying headers and footers.
- The Word export is far from perfect
- Does not really support Page Layout mode (you cannot duplicate a page at least)
- Does not have a multi-page overview
- The spelling support of iOS and OSX is at the level of Apple Maps except 4-5 languages.
- It takes a long time until it starts
INSTEAD, according to the latest updates:
- It can do change tracking
- Lock and unlock objects
- Add reflections to shapes
Dear Apple, please understand:
- We like iPad and we wish to use it for real work.
- We wish to have user templates, headers, footers and page numbers.
- We do not expect all the features of Pages for OSX, but we do expect real compatibility.
- We do not wish to switch back to Word for Windows unless you force us.
Please try to concentrate on real development not on unimportant changes like in the latest dissapointing update.

In Pages 5, how to get date to automatically update upon opening a template?

I'm using Pages 5.2. In prior versions of Appleworks and Pages I was able to construct and save a template in which the date would automatically update to the current date when the template was opened. I have tried "Insert Date" and I can click on that to update to current date, but I don't always remember to do that and therefore, some of my documents are dated several months prior.
Can't seem to find how to do it under Pages 5.2 Anyone have help or a work around?

I have the same problem.
What confuses me is that all the apple provided templates in pages seem to auto update their time and date upon opening.
So there MUST be a way to do it... although I've been unable to work out how...

How to change the header and footer in the Section Breaks Next Page using OpenXML?

I have a word document file in which I added a Section Break of Next Page, now I want to change the header and footer of that page.
Scenario of example, I have a doc file which has four pages with headers and footers and added fifth page in the section break next page, I want to change the header and footer of the fifth page only. This is achievable manually by deselecting the Link to Previous

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

I have learned to love PAGES, but I can't figure out how "sections" get linked together and how to unlink them so I can move pages or delete pages with a whole bunch of pages (a section) going away.

I have learned to love the PAGES program but I will add a new "section" or page to it and then when I look at thumbnails and try to move pages around or delete pages, it treats them as a section of many pages and will only delete several of them together or will add extra blank pages that I don't need. It is very frustrating but must be something I am doing to cause this.

It is the '09 version. I went on the boards and found out that by inserting a page break after each page as I go, I can make each page act individually instead of as a group. Then I can move pages around or delete them through thumbnails. The online manual didn't really help with how to avoid having them act as a group.
A Page Break pushes the next text to the next page, it is still part of the same section.
You need to insert a Section Break.

How can I use Pages 4.3 (from Retail pack) template on Pages 5.2 (from Mac App Store)?

This is a new machine running on Mavericks bought last year since my old Mac had a hard-drive failure. Installed Pages (part of iWork '09 package), updated to Pages 5.0 from the Mac App Store and no issues. However, now I need to use some of the old Pages template (San Fancisco Letter to be specific) and the new Pages dosn't have that.
So I had to extract the San Fancisco template from Pages '09 and tried installing under 'My Template' on Pages 5.3. But evertime I'm getting an error while installing. That's when I realised after going through the discussions here, that I can't install a Pages '09 template on Pages 5.3.
So my question is how to use a Pages 4.0 template on Pages 5.3? Is it possible to install Pages 4.3 while Pages 5.2 is still installed? Is there a workaround?
Note: I don't need Pages 4.3 but would like to use some of the templates from there, working on Pages 5.2.
Thanks in advance - Sid

Due to the huge number of missing features in v5.2 that were functional in Pages ’09 v4.3, many of the older version templates expect features/functionality that simply do not exist in v5.2. You should realize that Pages v5 is a brand new application/design, and not a progressive version enhancement to Pages ’09.
When you updated to Pages v5, that process automatically moved Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09. You can continue to use the older Pages (and associated custom templates) on Mavericks.
I would resist removing Pages ’09 from your machine, as it is functionally superior to Pages v5.
Templates that you save with Pages ’09 v4.3 are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
Templates that you save with Pages v5+ are kept in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Pages/Data/Library/Application Support/User Templates
One of the things that I noticed about the original Pages v5 installation is that it transferred a small subset of My Templates from Pages ’09 into the above User Templates location. These were relative simple templates. The complicated ones did not migrate.
Be certain to make a backup copy of any Pages ’09 template document. Once you open it in Pages v5+, it can no longer be opened in the older Pages application. Providing the template is compatible with Pages v5+, perform a File > Save as Template... to the default location.

How do you delete templates in Pages?

How do you delete templates in Pages?

Hi Lilly,
If you mean "My Templates" they are in a hidden folder.
In Finder, open the Go menu and hold down the option key (alt) in order to see the user library folder.
Open the library folder and navigate to:
Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates.
Select a template then drag it to the Trash (or command-delete).
Having gone to all that trouble to find that hidden folder, single click to select My Templates folder, then
Menu > File > Make Alias
An Alias folder appears. Rename it to something such as "My Templates Pages alias" then drag it out of My Templates folder to somewhere convenient (maybe the Desktop will do for now).
You can now close all those folders that you navigated through because the Alias (double click on it) is a quick way to go there again.
Repeat this process for other iWork apps such as Numbers.
Another way to manage your templates is to open one, make changes, then Save As Template with the original name of that template. The new template will replace the old one.
Regards,
Ian.
