Choose a Template
When you open Pages the Template Chooser
appears. If you already have a document open and want to see the Template Chooser select Open Template Chooser…
from the File menu.
The Template Chooser in Pages. I’ve selected the Flyers category under Page Layout on the left.
Pages ’09 offers several Flyers templates. In the Tip I use the Learn Guitar Flyer
template.
Click on a template to select it and click the Choose
button at the bottom of the window. A document opens with images and text already filled in, ready to be replaced.
Selecting may take two clicks
The text and images in the flyer template are just waiting to be replaced. Because this is a template it doesn’t work quite the same as in a normal document.
I want to replace the words Learn Guitar
with Learn Mac
.
To do that I click once on the words Learn Guitar
. An outline box appears around that whole section of text. Now I click once again on the words Learn Guitar
. This time the words themselves are selected. To replace them I just start typing.
Double click is a handy shortcut for these two clicks.
I replaced Learn Guitar with Learn Mac. Currently that section has an outline box around it.
Work through each section of text in this way, replacing the placeholder text with your own.
How the tear-off tabs at the bottom work
The text in the tear-off tabs rotates so you can more easily edit it. Left: while editing. Right: after.
You may think there will be a problem with the tear-off tabs at the bottom because they’ve been rotated. Pages is smart though. Click once on a tab to select the text box, then click once on the text itself. After that second click the text rotates, making it easier for you to type in your own wording.
Start by getting the text in one tab correct, then copy and paste to each of the other tabs in turn.
After editing the first tab type Command (⌘) A
to Select All then Command (⌘) C
to Copy. Then for every other tab double click, type Command (⌘) A
to Select All then Command (⌘) P
to Paste.
Change the picture
The template includes a photo, in my case of a guitar. Click once on the image to select it.

Then go to the View
menu and choose Show Media Browser
. A floating window appears, showing your iPhoto and Aperture collections.
Make sure the Photos
tab is selected, rather than Audio
or Movies
.
Find a suitable images in your Aperture or iPhoto collections. I have a photo of some Macs selected. Note that the guitar image has a selection box around it, so when I drag my photo in the guitar will be replaced.
Browse your photo collection: scroll around in the image browser until you find a suitable photo, or use the Search field at the bottom to narrow down the choices.
When you find a suitable picture drag it over on top of the placeholder photo in the template. Your image is resized if necessary and replaces the image that was there previously.
When you’ve finished, either click the Close
control on the Media Browser
or go to the View
menu and choose Hide Media Browser
.
Save the new flyer
The next steps are to save the flyer, print it and distribute it. Good luck.

I can’t speak to the US prices, but I see from an earlier article I posted on KnowIT — Apple’s Pages Demystified — that the New Zealand price is now only 1/6th what it was 6 years ago. That’s a huge drop and really makes the app affordable.
