(1) It seems that you never used a template.
'Opening' a template create a new document which was never saved so when you will save it you will be asked to give it a name and even to define the wanted location exactly as you did with Save As….
It's why in such a case the menu item is named "Save…"
(2) You don't have to write a script, I wrote it. Here it is
--{code}
--[SCRIPT set_stationery]
(*
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : set_stationery.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir “set_stationery”
Naviguer pour sélectionner le document à convertir en modèle.
On peut également enregistrer en tant qu’application.
Dans ce cas,
double cliquer puis naviguer pour sélectionner le document à convertir en modèle.
ou
glisser déposer l’icône du document à convertir sur celle de l'application
Si vous définissez la property add_TM comme true, le caractère ™ sera inséré à la fin du nom du document converti pour faciliter son repérage.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: set_stationery.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose “set_stationery”
Navigate then select the document to convert.
You may also save as an application.
In this case :
double clic the app’s icon to navigate then select the document to convert.
or
drag and drop the icon of the document to convert upon the app’s icon
If you set the property add_TM to true, the character ™ will be inserted at the end of the filename allowing you to quickly identify stationeries.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.
