Pages and Templates

Greets:

I've recently completed a portfolio for a class that has just completed. I used Page for the project, and followed a video course to learn how to use it. I also visited my local Appel Store a few times to get some issues I ran into sorted out.

Now that my project is complete, I have a few queries to ask so that I'm better prepared for the future.

• Can a template be created within page layout mode to include guides and rulers? I did not see any info in the inspector that would allow me to do this
• When working on a document, can a page be added that differs from the current page? For instance, if I have a template that has desired attributes, can that be added in an existing document?

Thanks for reading.
