Organizing Templates

If your innocent penchant for creating your own templates turns into a raging addiction, you’ll need to create new categories in the Template Chooser to hold them, or delete templates you no longer need. Pages doesn’t offer “New Folder” or “Delete Template” commands in the Template Chooser; you have to manually make new folders and trash templates directly in the Finder.

Pages separates all the templates you’ve created on your own from Apple’s assortment of stock templates. When you save your templates in the standard location suggested by Pages, you find them in the My Templates folder by following the path: [home folder] → Library → Application Support → iWork → Pages → Templates → My Templates. Drag any templates you no longer need from the My Templates folder to the trash.

To add a new category to the Template Chooser, create a new folder next to My Templates in the Templates folder. Name it for your new category, drag templates from the My Templates folder into it, or choose it when saving new templates. To rename the My Templates category, change the name of its folder here.
