Deleting template in Pages (Lion OSX):

I tried to follow the directions that have been archived for deleting templates, but it seems to be different in Lion.  I can't find the Mac HD icon when I open Finder.  Sorry I'm so dopey.

    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.

  • How does one rename or even delete templates in Pages?

    How does one rename or even delete templates in Pages?

    At the top of this page, click on your name or avatar to go to your profile page. You need to have more than one product listed in My Products and the one you need to edit can't be set as the default. So, add a product if you only have one & set this second as default. Then back to your profile page where you can edit the settings, including your OS version. Then back again to set this one as default. This is just one of many, many things that the current forum software makes very difficult. I have to go "hunting" for the setting each time, it's that difficult. If I were invited to test changes or a new version, this is one thing I'd mention.

  • Deleting templates from Pages.

    I want to delete self created templates from Pages.
    I go to Application Support/iWorks'09 but all that is there are 'content' and 'frameworks' folders.  
    I am running on Lion 10.7.2. 
    Please can someone assist me. 
    Thanks

    For some reason the Apple has hidden the Library you need to go to.
    The way 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.
    Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.

  • How to rename/delete templates in Pages 5.0?

    Newbie to Pages here... made the jump when I upgraded to Mavericks.  I've found the old solution of going to Library>Application Support>iWork for previous versions of Pages to rename or delete templates, but that solution does not work in Mavericks and/or Pages 5.0.  There simply is not a folder there for iWork now.
    Anyone figure this out yet? 

    In your Library there's a folder called Containers and in there you'll find a container called  com.apple.iWork.Pages and a similar package for Numbers and Keynote after you've run them. Open the package (right click and select Show Package contents) and then Open the Data folder. Inside there you'll find a Library folder, open it and then open the Application Support folder and then User Templates. (Don't ask how I found it)
    Lots of the templates I just trashed either because I never use them or I knew they wouldn't translate well. (Any that used linked textboxes are toast.) That left me with a group that were too old to open in the new version of Pages. I opened them with Pages '09 and resaved them as templates and that took care of it.

  • How do I delete templates in pages

    how do I delete templates thatI have created in pages

    Hi phase one,
    Same way you delete any other file: Locate the file, select it, then do one of three things:
    Drag it to the Trash,
    Go File > Move to Trash
    Press command-delete.
    With Templates, the tricky part is the first step: Locate the file.
    In the Finder:
    Press and hold the option (alt) key as you go to the Go menu and select Library.
    From Library, open each of these folders in turm:
    Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.
    Select the template file(s) you wish to remove, and move them to the Trash using one of the three methods above,
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: Files moved to the Trash can still be recovered by drgging them out of the Trash. They're not actually removed until you Empty the Trash, an item found in the Finder's Application menu (named Finder).

  • Deleting a partition in Lion OSX

    Now I am happy with LION I wish to delete a partition I previously set up for older documents, etc.
    I can see ERASE in DISK UTILITY but the partition remains.
    How do I completely delete a partition so that I only have the single partition on my new 27" iMac?
    I searched Forums and Support but no luck: my poor digital litercy skills failed me again :-(
    Thank you.
    Michael

    Select the Disk (not the Volume), highlight the partition to remove, and click [-], then drag the slider to resize the other volume (note that re-sizing only works if the volume to delete is below the volume to remain)

  • 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

  • How can one Delete a Template in Pages

    Can any one advise me how to delete Templates in Pages on my MacBook Pro?

    Not sure why one would want to delete a template? 
    You can close out the Template Chooser by hitting the red button.
    If you go to applications>iWorks>Pages> and control click on the app>this opens PackageContents>>Contents>Resources>Templates
    You can delete here. I would not advise it. I would have a back-up of your Pages.app or a system back-up incase something goes awry.

  • How can I manage and share iWork templates with users on OSX Lion Server?

    I would like to use the iWork templates shared in a local Lion OSX Server network.
    I would like everybody in the network to use the same iWork templates (is it possible to share these on the server?)
    And I want to be able to change or add templates to this shared folder so everybody in the organization has always the same and most up to date templates.
    Can somebody please tell me how to do this?

    The templates delivered with the apps are embedded in the apps and the license states:
    The folder used by the application to reach custom templates is on the local machine.
    You may store your custom templates in a folder on the Network but the users would be unable to reach them thru the "Create from a template" menu item. An easy workaround is to install an alias of the folder on every machine.
    I'm writing about templates with the official meaning.
    If, as several askers, you use the word to name documents, Pages is not designed for this kind of use.
    There is no provision in the app to allow several users to work simultaneously on a given document.

  • How to delete duplicate templates in pages 09?

    I want to delete duplicate templates from "My Templates" but can't.  Tried to drag them to the trash bin but they won't budge.  Can't find a delete command on the menu bar, either.

    You can't delete templates or any file from within Pages, it's done from Finder. 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.

    Hi
    Does anyone know how to delete a template fom pages?

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

  • 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.
