You may prompted to authorize Pages to use information from your contacts when opening a template. For information on setting up your My Card, see Set up your My Card in Contacts. Pages templates are designed to use information from your My Card in Contacts. You can, however, convert the document from word processing to page layout, and vice versa. After you begin creating your document, you can’t switch to a different template.

The Tab Flyer, Museum Brochure, and book templates in landscape orientation are for page layout. For example, the Essay and School Newsletter templates, and book templates in portrait orientation, are for word processing. Pages templates are designed either for word processing or for page layout. Every time you create a new document, you choose a template from the template chooser (shown below) as a starting point.Īfter you open a template, you can add your own text, replace placeholder graphics or delete them, and add new objects (tables, charts, text boxes, shapes, lines, and media). Placeholders give you an idea of what a document created with this template might look like when you use its text and object styles.

If you can’t remove something from a documentĪ template is a predesigned set of elements for creating a document-a layout, placeholder text and images, and so on.
