12 Designing Your Own
Document Templates
This chapter is for designers who want to create
their own document templates.
This chapter assumes you are already familiar with the design and formatting features
of Pages described in earlier chapters.
The templates that come with Pages provide ideas for page designs, and also define
the look of charts, tables, and text. Within each template, the following attributes can
be defined:
 Page orientation
 Page margins
 Page numbering
 Background graphics (watermarks)
 A variety of text styles, including body text, headers, footers, callouts, and so on
 Table of contents styles
 Bullet and numbering styles
 Object fills and line styles for drawn objects
 Chart colors and styles
 Look of tables
 Additional template page designs
You can modify any of these attributes to create your own templates. Creating your
own template can also be as simple as selecting an existing template and adding your
company logo to the page.
If you want to customize an existing template—for example, by adding images,
changing the placeholder text, or defining new text styles—see the relevant sections
in this chapter, and then read “Step 4: Saving a Custom Template” on page 243.
