How to delete templates in Word?

How do I delete my own templates in Word?

It's not the Control key, it's the Option/alt key.
The Option key solution has been posted many, many times in these forums over the last year+. The rest of the path has been posted even more times over the last seven+ years.

How to delete unwanted microsoft word files...PLEASE!

I would love to know how to delete files in microsoft word that are saved under my documents. The only way I can delete a saved word documsnet is when it has ONLY been saved to the desktop, then I drag it to the trash. When it has been saved to my documents or on the harddrive anywhere, there is no way I can find to delete it. And since I want to clean up my word documents I need to delete the files I no longer use.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I know microsoft word is not an "apple software" but it did come on my mac, and when I had a PC (a compaq) it was easy to delete fiels I no longer used. So I thoguht the best way to get an answer for this would be to contact apple support.
Please someone answer, I have been trying to find this answer for months! Thanks!

Late post for the archives--another fix:
I'm guessing the problem is trying to use File | Open to bring up a window that shows files, and delete from there. This works in Windows, but not on the Mac (true for any program, not just Word).
On the Mac, you have to delete files from within the Finder (the equivalent of Windows Explorer). Go to the desktop and hit apple-N (cmd-N) to bring up a Finder window. Set it to Column View. Now you can browse to any location on your harddrive and drag a file to the trash.

The Firefox spell checker has the option for me to add custom words to the dicionary. Please tell me how to delete a word from this file of custom words because a mispelled word got in there by mistake.

I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.

In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it.  Update after closing Firefox.
I will have to change my Spell Check documentation to not suggest notepad

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 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.

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).

How do I delete templates in Numbers?

I have several old templates saved in my numbers program and cannot figure out how to delete them. Help!

Hi medchanic,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Your profile does not show your products, so I do not know if you are using Mac OSX or iDevice iOS operating systems. As this is the Numbers for OSX, I shall answer for OSX.
Numbers stores your custom templates in the My Templates folder. To find that folder, use the Go menu in Finder and hold down the option/aly key. Library will appear in the menu choices. Choose Library then navigate to:
Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates
The path is shown at the bottom of my Library Folder window:
Click on an unwanted template and send it to the Trash.
I do not know why the operating system hides custom templates. After all, they are my templates!
Another way to control your custom templates is to open one in Numbers, change it, and then File > Save as Template... with the same name. That will replace the old template with the revised version.
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.

How to delete a template on WLC

Hi,
When I add a template in a config Group, this template is send on the WLC.
When I delete a template in a config Group, the config is not delete on the WLC. How to delete the config when I delete a template ?
PS : I'm sorry for my bad english...
J?r?my.

Once a template is pushed to the WLC, the configuration is pushed to the WLC. You can delete the template on the WCS, but the configuration on the WLC will not be deleted. If you want to use a different template, you can overwrite the configuration on the WLC with the new template.

How to enabled "Preview Template" and/or "Delete Template"

Hello All,
I am trying to preview a standard XML Template but it is greyed out. When i take my mouse over it.. It says "Preview Template Disabled". It says "Delete Template disabled" when i move my mouse over Delete..
How do i enable these features so i can modify my template?
Regards,
Venkat

hi
it will work,if every thing is associated properly.
If you uploaded a preview data file for your data definition, the Preview feature will merge this data file with the selected template to allow you to immediately view a sample of the report within the Template Manager.
the only thing you need to preview is sample data in Data Definition
IN DATA DEFINITION
-->in "Preview Data" upload a sample xml file
IN TEMPLATES
-->select the corresponding template
-->select the "Preview Format"
-->then preview
thanks
