Do you use iwork?

If so would you see value in a package of 100 Pages templates based on magazine styles?

      Yes, and no. But I'm probably not your target audience because I don't use Pages for layout and I don't generally use templates anyway.

      Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

        What about keynote? Some additional templates in there would be nice.

        Pages is great for whipping up pdfs.

          I don't use Keynote that often. Usually just for viewing PowerPoint presentations.

          Pages is great for whipping up pdfs.
          So is Adobe InDesign.

      So far I use Keynote exclusively. Would love to see a package of good new Keynote themes.

      But some good Pages templates might get me to use Pages. I learned RapidWeaver before Pages came out, so it didn't seem worth the trouble to learn Pages.

      That is stunning, where you would you pick up these types of templates from?

      If there isn't a huge selection available, could you possibly outsource the creation of your own perhaps?

        That's my modified version of the original that comes with pages... As I said I could create my own, not a problem.. But time wise, would not really have the time to do it and run as many websites and services as I do ..lol

        I pay close attention to details, including the label on there...

          Brad,

          I could use some well designed pages templates but I'd pass on the ones you've previewed.

          Like James, I currently used modified versions of the included templates but would like to have more customized templates.

      Iwork is a sort of modified mac version of microsoft office. It contains 3 different applications.

      Pages lets you create documents, resumes, reports, ebooks, etc. You can easily save in a few different formats.

      Keynote does your picture slideshows that you can turn into videos and these can be imported into things like screenflow.

      Numbers will let you create charts and graphs, and has spreadsheet options.

        Shows you how much I know! I thought Pages was for creating web pages. I use Adobe InDesign for page layout and PDFs, but good templates for Pages would give me another option.

    Brad,
    Yes the small amount of ones included are professional .. Not all of them are but some.. I could create ones myself but no way do I have the time to be creating templates for pages.

    You get something let me know ..
