Opening the Context Menu (was: Re: Using pages, templates.)

2014-01-21 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Hi Jürgen, I wouldn't want to mislead you… :) There are a number of different ways to open the context menu: VO-Shift-M, clicking the TrackPad with two fingers, holding the control key and clicking the TrackPad with one finger, or even, I believe, clicking with one finger on the right hand side

HI Jürgen, To add to Anne's explanation, to delete or rename templates from the templates chooser (i.e. the dialog that appears when you press command-n to open a new document) just navigate to it, bring the mouse and do a physical control-click with a TrackPad or similar. Cheers, Nic -- You r

Hello, does anyone know where Pages stores the templates? I created some test templates and can't find the place where they are stored. What I found on the internet was just for Pages 09 and that doesn't work anymore. Thanks and all the best Jürgen Am 20.01.2014 um 06:30 schrieb Matt Dierckens :
