As we mentioned above, there's no real way to make templates for the iPad and add them to Pages. But the workarounds above are OK, if you take them for what they are - workarounds. I'd have made my 'template' on the iPad because, if you're going to use the iPad to produce the final document, then you won't end up with any formatting incompatibilities.

Hi
Can you create templates in Pages, just I use certain formating in some documents I have to use and it would be great to create the layout once and save it as a template.
