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?

    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 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 can I delete templates from MY TEMPLATES in Pages?

    How can I delete templates from MY TEMPLATES i 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 that I created and now would like to delete stored in Pages 09
    Thank you
    beverlyfromjackson

    In Finder, navigate to your user’s Library -> Application Support -> iWork -> Pages -> Templates folder. Then select the templates you want to remove and delete them. My recommendation though is if you want to archive them create a folder in your Documents folder for them and move them there, that way if you ever need them again you can easily move them back.

    Does it contain color photos, spot colors, purely black ink etc?

    Hi
    Note that in Lion OS, the User Library is hidden by default.
    Use the Finder:Go Menu (hold down Option to add the User Library to the menu).

  • 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.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • 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 do I delete templates I have made in error in IBA?

    Hi, I am try to write a book and in trying to standardise Sections made templates.  How do I these delete templates I have made in error in IBA?

    Use iBA's menu for 'File/Save As Template'...when that dialog opens, make a note of the location/path, which begins in the /Library folder and ends in /My Templates.
    In the Finder, use the 'Go To' menu with the option key pressed and choose /Library from there...drill down to the iBA 'MyTemplates' folder, find the template you want to delete and drag it to the trash.
    Good luck.
