Thanks for pointing them out.
Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion & Mountain Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from the Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:
~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates/
Hi Peggy,
I need some help with this similar issue. Library does not show up when I option-select Go with the finder. I cut and pasted this into the go to folder space and was able to at least delete a template and modify another.
The problem seems to have started when I first tried to modified templates WITHIN the go/library/applicationsupport/iWork/Pages, etc. route. and saved them while in that mode. Now Library doesn't come up anywhere. At least by cut/pasting the line above, I can remove templates. But, things are still not functioning properly.
One thing I noticed. I have three templates in the My Templates folder. Two of them are Pages Applications and the other one is Pages Template under the "kind" portion. Any idea what the heck I've done and how to undo it?

What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using? Those details are critical, especially in this time of two vastly different versions of Pages.
OSX is 10.7.5 Lion and Pages is '09 4.3
I am delighted you are going to try to help me figure this out!

I don't use Lion so I can't be positive, but it may be that the Option-clicking the Go menu doesn't work in Lion.
First, my recommendation is to upgrade to Mountain Lion if you can or go back to Snow Leopard. Lion was a very poor product & I, for one, moved on to Mountain Lion as soon as I could. If you can't do that, try Mountain Tweaks to enable the user Library.
I will do the upgrade fairly soon.
In the process of working in Pages/Templates I've learned that what has happened is this:
When I "unlocked" through the previously available option go-library-etc. pathway, somehow it didn't relock.
Now, when I create any Pages document and save it, it automatically saves it as a template! So, I have to watch every document and deliberately seek other locations to save the document or it ends up as a template.
Then, I cut and paste your ~library/etc. series and drag it to the trash.
Wish I knew how to get in there and LOCK the blasted Library again. Then it might show up in the option/go pathway again.
Thank you Peggy! You've been helpful. At least now I know what to watch for and how to fix it when it throws something into My Templates without my intention!
Hello I have a late 2016 MacBook and followed the instructions but there is no iWork folder.
I would have added this to another thread as a question and saw the reprimands for asking the question which was answered back in 2013. However I do not see a more recent thread that applies a solution to the invisible or no iWork folder as an issue unless someone can point me there.
This is a 3½-year-old thread & a lot has changed in the Mac OS & in Pages. Instead of adding to an existing thread, start a new one with specifics on what version of OS X/Macos & the version of Pages you are using to get specific answers to you specific question.
Yes I think I addressed this issue in the reply. That I am unable to find the iWork folder in 10:10 MacBook late 2016. And I followed the instructions from the go folder and there's no iWork folder in the library.
If you have read the posts here, you will find us asking over and over again what version of Pages you are talking about.
This thread, as was stated is an old one and applies to Pages '09.
Telling us what computer you have does not tell us what software you are using.
It sounds like you probably have Pages 5 or 6 in which case you can select the template in the Template Chooser, right click on it and choose Delete. That answer is in your Pages > Help.

No, you didn't address what version of Pages you are using. This is CRITiCAL information.
