Where is template chooser in Pages 5.2.2?

Pages 5.2.2 does not have template chooser under File menu. My templates were made in Pages '09. If I want a template chooser in Page 5.2.2, do I have to recreate all my old templates? When I attempt to open an old template, I get a message that it has to be opened in Pages '09...but this is an old story since the "new" version of Pages began. More specifically, how do I create a template in Pages 5.2.2?

You get to the New From Template when you start a new file.
Pages 5.2.2 is brain dead compared with Pages '09 so don't expect to be able to open the prior templates or get the same features.
You will need to make templates specifically for Pages 5 by simply creating new documents then:
Menu > File > Save As Template

Where templates stored for Pages 5.0?

Where are my Templates stored in Pages 5.0? Previous versions of Pages stored Templates in Application Support/iWork/pages. Not so for version 5!! NBut where?
Thanks.

Do not double click.. right click and then choose view package content
from my post in a similar thread
In ~/Library/Containers/ you will find a file called com.apple.Iwork.Pages
It's a container. If your right click and choose view package you will find a folder structure. Follow that structure to Data->Library/Application Support/User Templates and "voilá" there are your templates."

When I open Pages the template chooser doesn't open even though i have chosen that in preferences

In Pages preferences, I have chosen to open the template chooser window, but for some reason when I open Pages, it continually opens in a finder type window and I have to choose "new document" and then I will get the template chooser window...is this correct?

Thank you so much, Picas! I was going crazy thinking I had corrupted some preference...I am new to Macs!

Pages 5.1 - Always asks to add to template chooser

Pages 5.1
I have templates created in folders from previous version. When i double click from folder to open it get asked to add to the template chooser or cancel, add to template chooser, yes great it goes there then i have to click again to open. If i then go to open this template again from the saved location it asks to add again, i do, and it has to replace the template now, i do, then i have to click to open again. If i click cancel during any of the process, yes its cancels. But i cannot simply open a template from a saved location without going in this procedure loop. How do i open a template from saved location, i want to simply double click to open?

Jerroid:
I followed your instructions and was able to save a template to a foulder on the desktop. However, the template on in the desktop foulder only opens after it is saved to the chooser, and that means giving a new name to the template in the chooser. This seem to be a needless circle, a duplication of effort and a problem the new Pages 5.1. Perhaps it will be corrected in the future. Thank you for your response - RI531

Pages will not launch in template chooser.

Preferences is checked to launch template chooser, but launches documents files instead. I created another sign in name and it launches properly. How do I correct this problem in my account?
Thanks

Pages v4.3 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2. iCloud is on with Documents & Data enabled.
When I launch Pages, it presents with a file dialog offering available files based on the last setting for either On my Mac, or iCloud. If the former, it refers to the last folder location saved. If instead, I choose New document from the bottom panel of this dialog, Pages immediately opens into my blank custom template (configured in preferences). Otherwise, it would normally open to the Template Chooser.
If I choose Cancel from this preceding dialog, then I have access to the File menu:
New - directly opens blank custom template
New from Template Chooser... - as expected
Open Recent - as expected
Pressing shift+command+N pops up a Template Chooser window as expected. Template Chooser also appears at the bottom of the Pages menubar window menu.

When I open Pages, Numbers the template chooser doesn't open, some other finder type window opens.

Any way to turn it back on after ML install? In preferences the template chosser is selected and can't be unselected.

I assume you've applied the iWork 9.2 updater as well as upgrading to Mountain Lion. By default, ML & iWork assume you want to open a file on iCloud. If you don't have an iCloud account you can turn this off by unchecking Documents & Data in System Preferences > iCloud. Otherwise, the easiest way would be to type ⌘ ⇧ N to bring up the template chooser.
Or it could just be that the preference files are corrupt, but it does seem odd that they would both do it at the same time.

Where on my MAC are "PAGES" Templates Stored

This question has been asked before - but there was NEVER a good answer.
I created a new "Template" using PAGES. I want to find this "Template" that was supposedly stored in "My Templates" - which cannot be found using "FINDER". I need to capture a copy of this template to share with another Mac user.
Can anyone tell me how to find this "Template" and email it to my friend ... and then how to capture it on his Mac and install it in his PAGES TEMPLATES?

I reread the answers given to one of the other questions and I have to admit that I'm not ready to use 'Finder' to find the Templates in the way it was described. And, I'm also not ready to try to import it back into my friend's Mac.
I'll do what the other fellow suggested and save the Template as a Pages document and then share that with my friend and import it to his 'Templates' on his version of Pages because he may not have the same version that I do.
I'm humbled by your answer.

Ask your question.How do I change the template for a pages document

How do I change the template for a pages document?

Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.

I have several custom templates in the my templates/templates chooser. How do I remove and/or delete them.

I have several custom templates in the my templates/templates chooser. How do I remove and/or delete them?

Hi Muizen,
Your remark that Yvan's "remarks are completely useless to (you)" may be correct, but that's hardly his fault.
Your question was posted in the Numbers community, a place for discussions of issues and techniques specific to the Apple spreadsheet application Numbers, part of the iWork set.
This community is one of several at the Apple Support Communities site, a place for discussion of technical issues specific to Apple hardware and software.
Your question regarding removing unwanted templates, posted in the middle of a discussion of Numbers templates (with a side trip to templates made with Pages, the word processing and page layout application that is also part of the iWork set) contained no reference to any application other than Numbers having produced those templates.
Yvan may have added 'unclearness' to your understanding of the issue, but the origin of that unclearness is your initial post. In case you've forgotten it, here is that post again, quoted in its entirety:
"Hi Edgar,
I am struggling to remove custom templates that I don't need.
The advise is:
Use the Finder to navigate to the templates and send them to the trash. Look in:
Username/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates.
However after Application Support iWork does not show up.
Do you have a solution?"
Where in that post do you make it clear that the custom templates you are talking about are "MS Word" templates? Where do you even mention that fact?
In your most recent post you state: "I tried this approach but reported that there is no iWork in my system."
Actually, you did not report "there is no iWork in (your) system,"t. You did report that "iWork does not show up" when you followed the path given.
You had made no mention to that time that iWork was not installed on your computer, and the fact that you had posted a question about removing templates in a forum(and in a discussion thread) specifically for one of the iWork applications would lead any reasonably intelligent reader to assume that the application was on your computer, and that, like the other users in this discussion, you were asking about Numbers templates, or at least about templates for one of the iWork applications.
Given that assumption, and given that the supplied path was the correct path to a user's custom templates for numbers, the most likely explanation of iWork's name missing from the path would be the one Yvan assumed—a misstep by the user at the beginning of the path.

How to crate a page template for multiple page instances?

When I use the Administration Portal to create a page with portlets in the Portal Resource Library, I can choose to use that page it in my portal. The problem is that I can use it only once. How can I crate a page template with portlets so I can use use it as a template for many page instances in one portal?
I'm using Portal 8.1.6.

Hey Dave, See the image below:

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

How do you open a new document from the template chooser?

Hi There,
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't find the option to open a new document from the template chooser. When I type in "template" in the help box it shows it under "file" But when I click on "File" I don't see that option.
Basically, I'm trying to ask how do you access the templates in the new pages?
Thanks so much

Check your preferences and make sure Show Template Chooser is selected:
Then just choose New from the File menu.

I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs. Why?

I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs (just a blank area where the SWF should be). When I detach the template it will play the flash file. This site will eventually be updated via Adobe Contribute. And I just discovered that when applying a template to a page that uses HTML datasets (Master/Detail),it no longer reads the Master/detail regions and displays a blank. Any thoughts?
[Moved to Dreamweaver forum by moderator]

Firstly, you shouldn't really 'apply' a template to a page, you should create a child page by going to FILE>NEW>Page from Template. Too many things can happen when applying a template the way you are doing it. eg:; editable and non-editable regions not matching up and being asked where to place these regions and in all likelihood, you end up with 2 or more of the same region.
When a swf file is inserted into a page, a corresponding Scripts folder is written automatically is stored in the root of the site - it is also linked to in the head of the document. What I believe is happening is that when you apply a template to the page, the Template has no idea that there is a swf file on the page and is not aware of the correct link to the Scripts folder. If you do a test and add the swf file to the template page itself, I bet that the links to the swf and the scripts folder are correct - because DW knows the correct path to the script file. Hence the reason the page probably works when you detach it from a template.

CSS for background image not transfering from template to new page

I have a gradient .gif in my templates which suddenly no longer transfers from the template to a new page created from the template. Everything else about the template transfers. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac running OS 10.6. I've pasted the CSS from the template and the new page below. I've tried the usual voodoo--restart program, restart computer, repair permissions, delete preference file, delete personal configuration file.
CSS from Template:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
CSS from page created from Template looks to be the same, but is greyed out in the code, and the background-image entry is not present in the CSS styles inspector:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't yet have a site where I can post the page. I'm new to this, and doing everything locally for now.
After careful rechecking, I found that the links for the template and the child were not the same, as you suspected. So I carefully changed the links to site root relative, which worked for the background CSS in my test image. I then did the same for all of the links to pages on my site, and checked that all were OK with Link Checker in DW. I guess that was a mistake, because now most of them don't work when tested in Firefox--I get the message File not found. Must be doing something wrong.
