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.
