working with pages

[Greg Aikens]

Does anyone know of a good resource for learning to work with pages and V/O? 
Most of it is coming pretty straight forward but a few things have stumped me 
so far. Working with footnotes for example is something I'm struggling to 
figure out. Any help is appreciated.

-Greg

Editing/Working with Pages Template

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
My next Pages question of the day: templates. I made a basic one, and saved it 
so I could hang onto it and keep using it for experiments. However, when I open 
it, I don't see the template text at all, just an option to add it to my 
templates list. I want to modify the template, not make a document based on it. 
How would I do this?

Related: is there a way, without adding this to my templates list, to make a 
blank document based on this template?

Pages lets you see the template to your templates list, or as a stand-alone 
file. I've done the latter, but how do I now go back in and modify how the 
template looks and what it contains?

Re: Editing/Working with Pages Template

Hello Alex,

You have to add the template to your templates list to be able to open it and 
modify it. You can use an existing template as the basis for a new template and 
you can turn placeholder text back into normal text using the same command that 
made it placeholder text in the first place.
To delete a template from your templates in the chooser, navigate to the one to 
be deleted, bring the mouse and get a contextual menu with Ctrl-Click using the 
mouse or trackpad to click. VO-Shift-m doesn’t work.

You did the sensible thing by saving your template in the Finder first, as once 
it’s in the template chooser, you can no longer find it to share it with anyone.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Editing/Working with Pages Template

[Alex Hall]

Thanks, I'm now able to make a new document based on my template. How do I go 
in and modify the template itself, though, so that documents I make in future 
using it will look different? It's a test, as I said, so I'll want to do more 
than just the three lines I have now. Do I have to just keep making new 
documents, modifying, and saving each revision as a template, then deleting the 
previous one? It seems like there should be a way to edit the master template.

If you save the template with the same name, you’ll be asked if you want to 
replace the existing one. Just make sure you remember the name exactly.

Okay, thanks for the help! I had a different procedure in my head, but this 
will work, now that I know what to do.
