How to open a Template when Pages is already open

I have just copied and pasted some text into a blank pages document. I want to convert this doc. to a letter head that I made a template for.
I would like to open the template, then copy/paste the first doc info into the template doc.
I haven't been able to figure out how to open a template when a document is already open.

Sorry, P5.2, Mavericks.
I did set the preferences to New Documents> Use Template: Blank, to stop endlessly having to choose a template when I don't need one.
When I pull down File, there is no New from Template Chooser. File>New just opens another blank file.
To check, I went back and enabled "Show Template Chooser". Now it demands I choose a template whether I want to or not.
OK, it seems Apple is forcing you into either/or. I want both/and. I don't want to be forced to choose a template when 99% of the time I don't want anything but a blank file. It is a nuisance. But the occasional time I am composing something and decide it would be better off as a universal doc with letter head, I am stuck and cannot choose open a template so I can stick the material in it.
The options are lousy. Close/save the doc, reset the preferences to templates, shut down Pages, restart pages, select template, open old doc, copy/past old text into new template. Or, while the original doc is open the first time, I could go find a stored doc with the right letter head template, open it, copy/paste the previous text into the letter head doc (and delete everything else).
Neither of these options is worth a wooden nickel. Apple needs to think this one through again. Like have multiiple buttons with View on it, doing different things. At least they got rid of using the paragraph symbol for two or three different functions.

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 to delete a template from pages

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:
~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates/

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 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 do you remove templates in Pages 08

Hi,
I need some help, I have created some templates for my company, but have just updated the logo. I have been trying to remove the old templates but with no luck, I have gone to the "my Template' folder but it is saying its empty! I have tried 'Format / advanced / manage pages' but this is not removing them, any help that you can give would be great, thanks

Hi all
I Hope this may help someone else who took hours to work this out as I was a bit dumb to see what was staring me in the face I followed the last thread I read to the letter and instead of changing the Numbers folder to the Pages one
<startupDisk>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:ApplicationSupport:iWork:NumbersEnglis h:Templates:My Templates:"
I went here close but one folder out, instead of the numbers folder go to the Pages folder if you want to change template in Pages (I feel so silly)
<startupDisk>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Application Support:iWork:Pages:Templates:My Templates:"

How to get a template from pages on to an email to send? (Not as attachment)

This question might have an obvious answer or not be possible at all, but I was wondering if it's possible to create a template in pages and then use that as an email template, so far all I've been able to do is attach the template as an attachment to an email, whereas I want the template to be the actual email. Any help would be appreciated? I hope I've made myself clear.

hi rohan,
u r right because we can pass variables with links in following format :
http://<domain>:<port>/<path>/page.htm?empid=123
and in this "page.htm" create a page attribute EMPID with AUTO ATTRIBUTE CHECKED .
now we can retrieve the value of empid .
similarly u can pass multiple variables with same link separated by "&" in following format :
http://<domain>:<port>/<path>/page.htm?empid=123&empname=anx&empdept=it .
and create corresponding page attributes in the same manner.
hope it will help u.

Why does my tab name keeps saying 'Connecting...' when page is already done? It does not display the websites' name.

Whenever I open a website in a different tab, it keeps on saying 'Connecting...' when the page is already done. And it wouldn't display the web pages' name. This is really hard for me to identify the different websites.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

How to implement animation effection when page opening?

I have seen some Flash page, when you open it, at first, it
shows an animation first, and then show up the real page.
I would like do my Flex page like this. When open the page,
it shows the big company logo, and it is going to shrink and move
to left corner (where is the location of logo display on real
page), and in same time, the real page come out. Or, the real page
already in there, the big logo on top of it, and it shrink to small
and move the logo location.
I know Flex have some effection, but I don’t know which
one I can use. And I don’t know how can I make it work when
the page opening. Or, I need use a swf file show the animation, and
bind the swf file on the flex code?
Any idea will be great help. Thanks.

Try the download on the following link. The download itself is for the 4620, but for the exact same issue. Based on the file name of the download it doesnt look like it is specific to that model of printer, so its worth a shot.

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 to make a template in Pages that wraps to next page

I almost always use my Pages '09 in Layout mode. I have a long document that I supply to vacationers on Cape Cod of all the gluten free restaurants and food stores. It's 17 Pages long. Because places open or close I am doing adding and subtracting of listings all the time so this document is in word processing mode so it automatically reshuffles when I add new places.
I want to brand it a little bit more and each page is going to have a small graphic and one line on the edge that is horizontal (at bottom of page) and one line that is verticle at the left side of the page.
I can't figure out how to do this in Word Processing mode. I can't move the graphics around like I can in Layout mode. I can put them in text boxes and move them that way to the desired locations.
However, if I add text boxes the text isn't wrapping from one page to the next.
I really love Layout mode is there a way to get it to take the over flow of text from page one and put it in the text box on the next page automatically?
I'm not sure how to do this project and I hope someone can give me a quick answer!
Thank you so much ahead of time!
Susan

PF,
If you give us a sample problem, we can suggest an approach.

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.
