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?

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.

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?

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.

Is there a way to create my own template on Pages for iPad?

Hi, I've searched for this topic but can't seem to find a recent thread. I need to know if there's a way of creating a new template for Pages on my iPad. Would love to use the iPad more in school but can't seem to get it to do what we want it to! If this isn't possible then can anyone suggest an App that would be more useful. Many Thanks!

This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5. I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?

Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Professional. I need to know how to create multi-links on 300 page docs

I need to know how to create multi-links on a 300 page document, showing "return to main Menu". Ideally placed on the bottom right of each page. I have adobe acrobat Professional.

Import a picture to be a button, place it, activate HYPERLINK tool, draw a rectangle around the whole button, in the window popping up select the link behaviour, submit with OK.
Then copy & paste the button object to every page. I don't know whether pasting it on every of the 300 pages can be automated, but if not, it is still done quite fastly.

Do you mean template or document? They're not the same thing.
The template formats that Microsoft and Apple use are different (just like all their document formats). You can Export a Pages document in a Word format and send this to your employees. An employee can then save this Word document as a Word template and use it.

How to delete a template in pages, how to delete a template in pages

Have looked on forums... 1. Cannot find "Go" on finder menu. 2. No library found. 3 Cannot delete nor can I drag old templates into the trash.
My templates folder is pages is cluttered with old templates. Are they here forever? Or, can they be removed?

Simpler version of deleting templates using Pages:
Utilizing v. 5.5.2
Go to Pages and select New
Select My Templates
If you don't have the right click enabled on your trackpad, click control and select the template you want to delete which gives you the option to Rename or Delete the file.
Hope this helps

Create a word template in pages ???

Got a client who is on a mac but uses ms office. I'm on iwork, of course. I need to create a letter head template for the client. Would it be possible for me to do that in pages and then export it to word, send it to her and tell her to open it first and save it as a template?

You should be able to export your Pages document as Word which will have the .doc extension. In the Finder, change the extension to .dot (Word template). Instead of having a PC user change extensions or anything else outside of their "comfort zone," I find it easier to do it myself before sending the file.

Creating New Sections while Moving Pages

Every time that I try to move pages from one InDesign document to another, it creates a new section on the new document. I have just upgrades to CS6 and have never experienced this problem before in previous versions of InDesign. Is there a way to avoid this happening?

I've never seen this or heard of it before, either. Have you tried trashing your prefs? See Replace Your Preferences
Do you have any third-party plugins installed?

How to create User defined templates

Hi all,
I want to create user defined templates for pages and regions and how to create form templates and report templates.
pls help me.
thanks
mani

Hi Mani,
If you copy a template in ApEx, you have your own version of that template.
If you then alter the code in your version of the template, you have your own custom version.
If you don't understand the underlying HTML, you are going to struggle.

I created an envelope template and want to print envelopes inserting addresses from a contact group in address book

I created an envelope template in Pages and want to print envelopes inserting addresses from a contact group in address book. How do I do that?

On what word processor will that be?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Creating multi-page document with multiple templates

Hi,
I am new to Pages and am attempting to create a photo book that I can export as a PDF and have printed through an online service. I have successfully created multiple templates in Pages that I want to use in my book, but cannot figure out how to create a new page based on an existing template. If I select "New" or "New from Template Chooser" I end up with a brand new document, not a new page in my existing document. If I select Insert --> Pages, I am only given the choice to insert a Text or a Blank page. How do I insert a new page based on a template? Or, how do I apply a template to a blank page?
Thanks very much,
Eric

Okay, I have figured out a way to accomplish my goal. I have my master Pages document that I am adding pages to by:
1. File --> "New from Template Chooser"
2. Selecting my template
3. A new document is opened
4. I add my photo and custom text
5. Copy the new page from the Pages area in the left nav
6. Paste the new page back into my master document
This works, although is a bit cumbersome. Would much prefer to be able to simply add a page in my master based on an existing template, but I still don't see how to do that...
