Apple Pages '09 - Manual (Page 272)

6 Delete the pages from your template if you don’t want them to be part of the initial
template.
To rearrange, rename, or delete template sections you have created:
1 Choose Format > Advanced > Manage Pages.
A dialog opens.
2 Select a section, double-click the name, and then type new text to rename it.
3 Click the up or down arrow buttons to change a section’s position in the list.
4 Click the Delete (–) button to remove the section.
5 Click Done when you have finished.
Saving a Custom Template
You can save your new template so that it appears in the Template Chooser.
When a user chooses the template to create a new document, the new document
opens in exactly the same state as when you saved it. That means you can choose to
leave the Styles drawer open or closed; leave invisibles, rulers, and layout marks visible;
and so on.
To save a custom template:
1 Choose File > “Save as Template.”
2 Type a name for the template.
3 Specify a folder in which to save your template.
By default, it will be saved in your home folder in Library/Application Support/iWork/
Pages/Templates/My Templates/ and it will appear in the My Templates pane of the
Template Chooser.
