Placeholders give you an idea of what a document created with this template might look like when you use its text and object styles.

Every time you create a new document, you choose a template from the template chooser (shown below) as a starting point.

After you open a template, you can add your own text, replace placeholder graphics or delete them, and add new objects (tables, charts, text boxes, shapes, lines, and media).

Pages templates are designed either for word processing or for page layout.

For example, the Essay and School Newsletter templates, and book templates in portrait orientation, are for word processing.

The Tab Flyer, Museum Brochure, and book templates in landscape orientation are for page layout.
