manage apple pages templates on local drive

and I will be taking copies of the Word 'home' / 'personal' templates from the G5 and putting the Pages My Templates folder. Does something magic :^) happen when you go about it this way?īut I will give it a try. If memory serves, saving over the same document name in the Documents folder has never been a problem with Macs, however, I am mystified as to why you are able to rewrite to the template folder. If I understand you, you edit a version that was saved in your Document folder and then are able to save back to the Document folder AND in the 'My Templates' folder using the same name. I don't understand why your process works. I did not try deleting the original after I had opened it prior to editing which may have been a slightly better process. I had to go through the process saving it as a template with a different name, right click -> delete the original template and renaming the newer template as described earlier in this thread. So I opened it from My Templates, edited it, but it would not let me 'replace', save over, what ever in My Templates because I had used the same name. It was a grocery list and needed major, major editing to meet our needs. I cheaped out and extended my AD schema and am using Apple's workgroup manager to lock down my Macs. They also make enrolling the computers to AD real easy (although it isn't too difficult to begin with using Apple's built-in AD plugin). I downloaded a template and saved it as a template in My Templates. Both add Mac-specific GPOs into the normal group policy editor that allow you to manage Macs that way. I am not much of a hand at word processing BBEdit is where I mostly work on text playing with BBEdit and the Terminal to play with C or LUA Programming.Īlas, I noticed that Office 2011 for Mac does not have nearly as many 'home' templates as the earlier version that worked on the good old G5.
