Using Pages templates

When I open a template from one of "My Templates" (to prepare a new edition of a newsletter), how do I save it under a new title to the desktop? The options 'Save a version', Duplicate or 'Export' do not give me the opportunity to write a new title and where to file it. (Although the 'Help' section says I should)
          Am I missing something– all I get is another template beside the original
    Thanks for enlightenment

Thanks Jerrold but I have something odd about this particular template, which is a template based on an 8-page newsletter with an almost identical format for all 8.
     If I choose (click on) another of my personal templates, say a Xmas Card, click on 'Open' the window turns around and gives me a window called 'desktop' with a list, the template is nowhere to be seen, however if I just double-click on the chosen template it opens perfectedly as 'Untitled'.
     I have a previous template for the newsletter, also with 8 pages, and this one opens, with a double click as untitled.
     I have obviously done something stupid with the current version..... any ideas ? Your note was very helpful as it made me go look a bit harder.
     As an aside, I can't find out (even after following the 'instructions') how to stop Lion from opening up with whatever I did before, maybe I just have to think of how to make use of it. On start-up it gives me a PowerPoint blank, which I have never used since upgrading months ago.
     Sorry to wander, but thanks again

Eric,
I'm thinking that maybe your 8-page template somehow has a .pages extension rather than a .template extension as it should have. When I checked, I found that I have two such "templates" in my personal template folder.
You can fix this by going into Finder and renaming the template.

Page designer show small view when using page template and cannot be run

Dear Experts,
I need to make some page templates.
I have build 2 simple page templates, let say template0 & template1 which template1 using template0.
It show no any problem until I close my Jdeveloper & reopen it.
When I reopen template1, it show so small in designer (Jdeveloper window).
Is there any wrong?
I have build another template, just 1 template.
When I used it at the first time, no any strange behavior occur.
After ... (I don't exactly when), it give me the same view in my designer.
Then I force to use my first tempate (template1 which used template0 inside), I cannot run my application at all.
After wait several minutes, I found error log in my log messages.
*#### Server Instance DefaultServer could not be started: Server Instance was terminated.*
Above the message, I found another error messages:

* at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.flushErrorHandler(XMLError.java:422)*
Is there anyone that can help me to find out why this error occured?
Should I raise this problem to metalink or just can post it in this forum?
Many thanks for your supporting...
N.B: Below I attach my template0 (AHM000.jspx) and template1 (AHM001.jspx)

Hi...
Thanks for asking....
As I put in my post before, I include template0 in my template1, as seen in template1 (AHM001):
<af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs">
*<af:pageTemplate viewId="/template/AHM000.jspx">*
I use AHM000 inside AHM001. I use this approach to build many template based on one basic design.
Actually, I don't think the problem is in page template usage because as I submitted paralel to Metalink, I've already not called template0 in template1 but I copy template0's contents to template1.
Unfortunately, page designer show small view and below error messages still occured.
*Jun 7, 2009 10:25:20 PM ComponentMetadataHandler _error*
WARNING: error parsing component tag in file: /AhmTestTemplate-ViewController1-context-root/template/AHM001.jspx/tag:xmlContent/id:null

Fortunately my application can be run already altough the error message still logged.

Nesting page templates

Hi!
Can someone explain why it is not recommended to use page tmpletes nested in other pages / page templetes???
In:
Oracle® Fusion Middleware
Web User Interface Developer’s Guide for Oracle Application
Development Framework
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
B31973-01
Section 17.3 Using Page Templates at the end of section there is very remarkable note:
Note: You cannot nest page templates inside other page templates.
I wonder what does this mean. I succesfuly used page templates nested inside page which already have a sorounding template. Even the nested template has a pageDef for it's own. If everything is properly set in accordance to Dev's Guide, I have no issues at all.
So, as the nesting of page templates is very useful (avoiding the restrictions of fragments/regions and no PPR to parent page), I relly wonder what is the problem here.
Regards,
PaKo

Pako,
there is no problem in fact other than the risk of recursions. The current state though is that the designtime doesn't support template nesting. However, at runtime this works and can be configured.

Page template usage

Hello,
There is a requirement in my current project about letting users to choose from pre-defined page layouts and fill these layout's fragments with, again pre-defined, small display fragments. I wonder if it is possible to do using page templates in Jdeveloper 11g and ADF Faces. Are there any sample project or articles about usage of dynamic page templates?
Thanks.

Deniz,
you can change the template reference of a page to use an EL value instead. This EL value can reference a managed bean or session attribute that returns a string with the template name. This way, at runtime, the page template can be changed as you want it. You may add a default template like #{sessionScope.currentTemplateId != null ? sessionScope.currentTemplateId : 'some-default-template'}
Note that at design time this wont work, so this should be the last step in your development effort. Also, make sure that the templates you reference use the same number of facets and the same namig for the facet references as otherwise you hit a parser error. However, if you follow this advise then the dynamic template selection should work like a charm

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

I have Pages 09 and I have created a business card using the template but can't figure out how to duplicate it to the other 9 spaces on the page. I am and sure I am going to look daft coz its only the click of a button but I can't work it out Thanks

I do the following: Hold down the command key and highlight all the items to be reproduced. Then hold down option and drag the items from the first to each subsequent card.

How can I use Pages 4.3 (from Retail pack) template on Pages 5.2 (from Mac App Store)?

This is a new machine running on Mavericks bought last year since my old Mac had a hard-drive failure. Installed Pages (part of iWork '09 package), updated to Pages 5.0 from the Mac App Store and no issues. However, now I need to use some of the old Pages template (San Fancisco Letter to be specific) and the new Pages dosn't have that.
So I had to extract the San Fancisco template from Pages '09 and tried installing under 'My Template' on Pages 5.3. But evertime I'm getting an error while installing. That's when I realised after going through the discussions here, that I can't install a Pages '09 template on Pages 5.3.
So my question is how to use a Pages 4.0 template on Pages 5.3? Is it possible to install Pages 4.3 while Pages 5.2 is still installed? Is there a workaround?
Note: I don't need Pages 4.3 but would like to use some of the templates from there, working on Pages 5.2.
Thanks in advance - Sid

Due to the huge number of missing features in v5.2 that were functional in Pages ’09 v4.3, many of the older version templates expect features/functionality that simply do not exist in v5.2. You should realize that Pages v5 is a brand new application/design, and not a progressive version enhancement to Pages ’09.
When you updated to Pages v5, that process automatically moved Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09. You can continue to use the older Pages (and associated custom templates) on Mavericks.
I would resist removing Pages ’09 from your machine, as it is functionally superior to Pages v5.
Templates that you save with Pages ’09 v4.3 are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
Templates that you save with Pages v5+ are kept in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Pages/Data/Library/Application Support/User Templates
One of the things that I noticed about the original Pages v5 installation is that it transferred a small subset of My Templates from Pages ’09 into the above User Templates location. These were relative simple templates. The complicated ones did not migrate.
Be certain to make a backup copy of any Pages ’09 template document. Once you open it in Pages v5+, it can no longer be opened in the older Pages application. Providing the template is compatible with Pages v5+, perform a File > Save as Template... to the default location.

How do I create a master page when using Project7 templates?

Hi,
I am using P7 templates to easily create a nice website. However, I would like to create for example the main menu only once and have it re-used on every page or at least every page I want to. I think this is a called a masterpage (?) where you can tag parts to be re-used on other pages.
Can somebody please tell me where I can find support, examples, tutorials on this? Or can somebody tell me how to do this in a P7 template?
Thanks in advance!!

Spry accordion works in template, but not pages using that template

So I added a spry accordion to one of my templates and changed the script to default closed. It works great. In the template. But not in any of the pages using that template. Basically I can see the content in the accordion on the page as if there is no accordion at all. And I can see the script and html telling me an accordion should be there. It just isn't. I can see the framework when in edit mode. But in live mode, it's like there's not there but the content.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS6.
Any thoughts?
Thank you for your time!

If the template has been created properly, then the Spry files should automatically be included in the child page(s).
My template looks like
<!doctype html>

<head>

I am using Pages 09 to write a script/storyboard. I'm adapting the standard screenplay template but would like to drop in framed 19.2 x 10.8 masks (ideally with a black stroke round them) to drop visuals into. In a perfect world I'd be able to save them as a style or a custom shape, but I can't find any suggestions in help or forums. I would really appreciate some pointers. Here's a screenshot of the (small) progress so far :

Using Avery Templates with Pages

I am new to Pages. I want to format Avery 8387 Card in Pages instead of Microsoft Word. Are there Avery templates in Pages like there are in Word. Can I use Pages to make Avery labels? Please help!

Cards are rectangles.
Rectangles can be drawn and arranged in position on a page with minor use of maths.
As fruhulda has said Pages will open the Word documents supplied by Avery.
…and guess what's on those Word documents?
