Deleting Templates in Pages.

Hello Apple friends,

I have tried to follow your sequence but on my MacBook Air (FVFSY...) it doesn't show iWork after "Application Support".

I'm trying to delete some templates I made to personal documents.

thanks

Hi z'

The original post in this discussion was made in 2012, when the current version of Pages was Pages '09 (v 4.x).

Things changed with the introduction of Pages 5, as you would know if you had read to the end of the thread.

Check VikingOSX's posts on Page 3, including the one immediately before yours, for updated instructions that fit Pages 5 and Pages 6.

Regards,

Barry

Do you have a question or are you just restating what has been posted in this forum many times by many users?

Don't know how you came to that conclusion.

That question and answer is one of the more common ones here. Been asked and answered many times.

If you look to your right you will see some of the other posts.

I just checked on your posts.

These are the only two posts you have done, so when/where else did you "aske this question several times"?

I'm with Peter on this. A quick search reveals that I alone have posted the answer at least 20 times in just the Pages forum.

Russel writes,

"I have … had no success in … finding (an answer) one on the forum."

Perhaps there's a problem with your search technique, then:

Thanks for the post, though. It does give another target for such a search to hit.

Hi Russell,

That was pretty easy to spot from your first post. 😉

On a Mac, it's called the "option" key; the "alt" label was added later, probably for the convenience of those used to a Windows keyboard.

Dullard? No, more 'eager and inexperienced.' We've all been there at one time or another.

Barry, to me it seems that the european version have alt and not Option key.

Russell, I think it was very kind and generous of you to post the answer to the question you had. It's good to share and not all of us want to bite your head off about it.

Nobody's head got "bitten off".

Russell posted an odd post, adding to the enormous number of previous posts here, then said it hadn't been answered before.

Which was incorrect. The Pages forum is remarkably quick and accurate as long as you don't confused about where you asked the question.

Peter

That was very helpful thank you - I couldn't work it out at all

Cheers

I hardly dare ask this, after the discussion, but as a baffled newcomer, I'd be really thankful for some help here.

I updated my Pages [rather than buy the whole iWorks package] to Pages '09 and I want to delete some of my own Templates

I have opened Finder, but can't see Library; so I have located Pages 09 and clicked to open Contents. There is no templates folder..

I have also tried Finder>[my name]>documents...

And searched for Templates;

and tried Applications>Pages.. but still no Templates.

I have even tried my original iWork '06 but no Template folder

With so many experienced people, please would you help me?

Hi I f,

"I hardly dare ask this, after the discussion, but as a baffled newcomer..."

One thing to keep in mind (and sometimes it's difficult) is that whatever the reaction here, there are no 'stupid' questions, except the ones that do not get asked.

Your templates are located at:

username (the house icon) > Library > ApplicationSupport > Iwork > Pages > Templates > My Templates

For Lion users, start in the Finder, click the Go menu, then press and hold the Option key as you choose Library.

That will put you in your User Library. After that, follow the rest of the path above, open the My Templates folder, then delete templates as you would any file:

Click on the file to select it, then either drag it to the Trash OR press command-delete to move it to the Trash.

Regards,

Barry
