Apple Pages V 10 - showing rulers by default

In Apple Pages 10, I cannot find a way to show Rulers by default in a new document - there appears to be no option to do so in Preferences. (Comment: the available preference options overall seem to me to be very limited.) I set up a document showing rulers and saved it as a template, chose that template in Preferences as the default page layout, but when I created a new document from that template the rulers were absent. Is there a way to show rulers by default?
