Custom template deletes

I would like to delete some unwanted custom templates from numbers on my macbook pro. The info I have seen in previous discussions doesn't work for me.
In particular, the iWork step is not there. What am I missing?

I assume you are using Numbers 3. This is one big improvement in Numbers 3 & Pages 5. Open the template chooser & right-click on the template you want to change & choose to delete it or rename it from the contextual menu that appears.

Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The door to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

I have Lion 10.7.4. How do I delete custom templates in Pages '09 v.4.1?

Hello,
I have saved custom templates and then revised them and saved again. I now have several I need to delete. Also, how to delete custom templates? Also, how do I delete blank pages? I hate sending pdf's with a blank page at the end. Thank you very much for your help!

Deleting a Custom Template

     In my quest to master (???) this program, i created a "Custom Template" which I thought i could use over & over & replace the data for what i wanted further use for; an ongoing monthly spreadsheet (Table) the first row with all my labels for each column. I know this is redimentary, but i still don't get the Header Footer thing & not sure I'm heading up the spreadsheet (Table) correctly, but it didn't work out the way i wanted; so i want to deplete it but can't find it!
     I looked up 'Help" and it states that,
"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".
"The template is saved in your home folder in the following subfolder structure: Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates/."
     When i follow that path in my computer, the only folders in "iNumbers Folder" are two folders labeled "Content" & "Frameworks."
They do come up when i choose Custom Templates and the path at the bottom of the window shows, Macintoch > My Templates > then that template, but won't let me delete.
     All i want to do is delete them so i can start over when i'm ready to create a custom template & know (have a better idea) what i'm doing.

Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. Numbers templates are in the same path. Access to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

Can't delete custom templates

I have looked at the previous answers for deleting a custom template previously posted, but when I go to the Library, etc. when I get to iWork09 the only options after that are content (which contains only "fills") and Frameworks (which contains lots of items, no templates)

You're not in the correct library. There are at least three on your Mac. First, click on the Desktop or the Mac face in the Dock to make Finder active then hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu and select Library as in this first screenshot.
Now, using column view, follow the path as in this second screenshot.

How do you delete a custom template you no longer need

When using Numbers, how do I delete a template I accidently saved as a custom template?

users/yourname/library/application support/iwork/numbers/templates/my templates
If using Lion or Mountain Lion...
in Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu and your users Library will appear...

Hi Muizen,
Your remark that Yvan's "remarks are completely useless to (you)" may be correct, but that's hardly his fault.
Your question was posted in the Numbers community, a place for discussions of issues and techniques specific to the Apple spreadsheet application Numbers, part of the iWork set.
This community is one of several at the Apple Support Communities site, a place for discussion of technical issues specific to Apple hardware and software.
Your question regarding removing unwanted templates, posted in the middle of a discussion of Numbers templates (with a side trip to templates made with Pages, the word processing and page layout application that is also part of the iWork set) contained no reference to any application other than Numbers having produced those templates.
Yvan may have added 'unclearness' to your understanding of the issue, but the origin of that unclearness is your initial post. In case you've forgotten it, here is that post again, quoted in its entirety:
"Hi Edgar,
I am struggling to remove custom templates that I don't need.
The advise is:
Use the Finder to navigate to the templates and send them to the trash. Look in:
Username/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates.
However after Application Support iWork does not show up.
Do you have a solution?"
Where in that post do you make it clear that the custom templates you are talking about are "MS Word" templates? Where do you even mention that fact?
In your most recent post you state: "I tried this approach but reported that there is no iWork in my system."
Actually, you did not report "there is no iWork in (your) system,"t. You did report that "iWork does not show up" when you followed the path given.
You had made no mention to that time that iWork was not installed on your computer, and the fact that you had posted a question about removing templates in a forum(and in a discussion thread) specifically for one of the iWork applications would lead any reasonably intelligent reader to assume that the application was on your computer, and that, like the other users in this discussion, you were asking about Numbers templates, or at least about templates for one of the iWork applications.
Given that assumption, and given that the supplied path was the correct path to a user's custom templates for numbers, the most likely explanation of iWork's name missing from the path would be the one Yvan assumed—a misstep by the user at the beginning of the path.
Regards,
Barry

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.

Old custom templates in Pages 5 .select background item?

I have some custom templates from iWork 09, that worked fine until this pages 5.22 came along.
They are in Word Processing Layout, and also have a separate text box or two.
In Pages 5.22 I can not longer select them, they just appear on the screen as the "Type to enter text' words.
the only way I can select the box is to 'Convert to page layout.
but if i do that, then all the other custom text is deleted, ...a warning is given and other text is gone.
In previous pages, there was an option to 'Select background Item' or a similar entry that allowed me to select these particular text boxes, but in the is new Pages that option is no longer there now the Inspector pane has been changed.
The Arange Tab appears in Page layout, but not in the WP layout...it must have been there before otherwise how else would I have added the text box?
Anyone have any idea how I can make all my old templates usable in this new of Pages
Thanks

In the Template Chooser for Pages ’09, there is a category heading named “My Templates,” and by default, there is a physical folder in the following location called My Templates. You are permitted to create arbitrary folder(s) in this location through File > Save As Template… for perceived organization. However, the Template Chooser, unlike the Finder, does not show these sub-folders in its left-hand navigation panel. Instead, it shows all templates (including sub-folder contents) in one view — thus subverting your practical organizational goal.
<login directory>/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
When you are presented with the file dialog during the Save as Template… activity, it defaults to the My Templates folder location. Click the selector that shows My Templates, and choose the next higher Templates folder. Now, you create a new organizational folder here (mine is called Journals), and it will show up separately under the My Templates category heading — and the related templates are not shown in the general My Templates folder item view.
If I were to manually create empty folders in the above Templates folder using Finder, as long as they are empty, Pages will not list them in the Template Chooser.

Numbers Template Deleting

Hi - I'm stuck on deleting my own created template in Numbers (which is no longer required). I've researched a few answers on here and I understand the route but I don't have 'iWork' under Application Support to search for the custom template to 'drag & trash"?

Pages Custom Template to open automatically & etc.

How can I get my Pages Custom Template to open automatically when I open Pages?
Also, I am having trouble getting Italics to work, both from pulldown menu and the bar.
And how can I set as default Pages>Open columns wide enough to fit content?
How can I manipulate (move, move into & delete) folders & docs in my View as List?
How can I make (& move) Folders outside of when I "save as" a doc?
Thanks. P2

I do not understand the question.

You cannot do that from Pages. You do that from the Finder.

Deploying custom templates only shows first template

Hi guys, I'm having an issue deploying custom templates.
I have followed the steps outlined here (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178976.aspx) but when I open up Word/New I see the "CompanyName" under custom templates but when I open it I only see the first template "Letter".
I created the following entry in the registry:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Spotlight\Providers\Companyname with a string ServiceURL pointing to the path of the xml file.
The XML file contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<o:featuredcontent lcid="1033" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
<o:application id="WD">
<o:featuredtemplates startdate="2011-03-01" enddate="2015-03-01">

<o:featuredtemplate title="Letter" source="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Templates\Companyname\Letter.dotx" >
</o:featuredtemplate>

<o:featuredtemplate title="Budget" source="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Templates\Companyname\Budget.dotx" >
</o:featuredtemplate>
</o:featuredtemplates>
</o:application>
</o:featuredcontent>
I read in another post (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officesetupdeploy/thread/fbc4bf23-c9fb-4a6c-a981-49f68127bf77/) where someone was having the same problem and advised deleting the ..Spotlight\Content\Companyname\WD1031 reg key but that
hasn't help. I still only see 1 template.
Any help would be appreciated.

Step.1
Close Word and delete the following registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Spotlight\Content
Step.2
Replace your XML file with the following sample
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<o:featuredcontent lcid="1033" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
     <o:application id="WD">
         <o:featuredtemplates startdate="2011-03-01" enddate="2015-03-01">
             
             <o:featuredtemplate title="Letter" source="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Templates\Companyname\Letter.dotx" >
                <o:media mediatype="" filename="" source="" />
                <o:preview filename="" source="" />
             </o:featuredtemplate>
             
             <o:featuredtemplate title="Budget" source="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Templates\Companyname\Budget.dotx" >
                <o:media mediatype="" filename="" source="" />
                <o:preview filename="" source="" />
             </o:featuredtemplate>
         </o:featuredtemplates>
     </o:application>
</o:featuredcontent>
Tips: Keep <o:media ---> and <o:preview ---> even you don't use them.
Step.3
Restart Word, check result

CS6 PDF Output - Custom Template?

I recently installed the windows version of CS6 Bridge. I would like to create a custom template for pdf output. However there is no "Custom" box in Template drop down box and the new template and recycle bin icons do not function. What do I need to create and save custom template in Bridge pdf output?

AnneMarie Concepcion wrote:
After tweaking almost every panel in the PDF output settings, I'd like to save those settings to reuse with other PDF contact sheets I'll be creating in the future. How do I do that? As soon as I tweak a setting, the Preset changes to Custom, and as soon as I select a different preset, the entire Custom entry is deleted from the dropdown menu.

While the Output Module of Bridge is a good idea it is not "ready for prime time" in either of the two functional areas.
I guess that's why they left the old-style methods available on the installation disk.
Just another casualty of the "Rush it out to meet a deadline" policy.
