Missing custom template in Pages

Hi,

I wanted to use a template I created in August-September and haven’t used since early September. I can see no ‘My templates’ category in Pages and couldn’t find the template by searching from within Pages or on Mac as a whole. Is this a known issue? Can this be a consequence of having installed one of the system updates since the beginning of Sept? Do you have any advice on how to find it?

Kind regards,

Zsofia

zsofia208,

There are a couple of things you can do to find your template:

On the Pages menu bar, click File > New From Template Chooser and then click My Templates at the bottom of the template chooser navigation bar.
You might be able to find it in this location: On the Finder menu bar, click the Go menu item while holding down the Option key > Library > Containers > com.apple.iWork.Pages > Data > Library > Application Support > User Templates.

Spotlight doesn't search in every folder on your hard drive. On my Lion system, Spotlight doesn't find my templates.

On my computer I can put .template files in virtually any folder. Spotlight will find them if I put them in a folder that Spotlight will search. For example, if I put a .template file in my Documents folder and I type .template in a Spotlight search box, Spotlight will find it.
