Is there any way to select a page layout and save it to the 'Add Pages' menu bar on the left of IBA?

Question

This would be extremely helpful as there is no way in IBA 1 to copy and paste 'lines' from one page to another.

Look at the steps in my first reply to open the LAYOUT page by dragging the BOOK page slider down ... do this in the Life on Earth Template.  click on the  2 column template page to  open it.
Select ONLY the lines you want. Remember toi  open the Inspector at LAYOUT, second icon from left, and with teh lines selected, tick the Layout Object box ro  enable ediiting, COPY the lines you want, open your Contempory based book.
Follow the above procdure COPY the  2 col layout page and rename it, Open the  page and paste the lines you copied. They should  drop into place and then you should unclick the Layout object editable tag.
If you complete this, it does mean you have to copy all your work into this new page layout.
Another alternative is simply to add lines from the Shapes,  you can  size then ( length and thickness) and  select whatever colour and opacity you prefer, do it on one page and copy and paste to all the othe pages.
Spend some time playing with teh  layour  pages and changing things.. adding or changing  background images styles etc,.  Once you have  "the knack" an owd Manchester term  - you can customise a basic template to suit your  needs. 
Hope it helps...
