Breathe new life into your Pages documents with OM for Pages '08 - a sophisticated general purpose template set that will deliver your message in style: no power-tie required.

 

Back to Basics . OM for Pages includes the everyday essentials for business, completely restyled for the '08 Edition, taking a crisper, more ink-conscious approach than the original release.

 

The OM templates for Pages '08, like their Keynote counterparts, blend classic print styling with a crisp and soothing framework, creating a defined structure around the interplay of color and accent.

OM for Pages '08 includes up to sixteen complete templates (Pro Edition) - from the basics of Letterhead, Memo and Envelope templates to the expanded 48 and 51 master-page Brochure templates - giving you a wide range of document types and layout options to choose from, whether you're preparing an Agenda for the weekly meeting or assembling the new Spring Catalog. The included layouts - from single-panel, full-page designs to mixed multi-photo mosaic layouts - are designed with a an eye toward simplicity. Crisp contrasts of the signature colors - including the all new electric Robin's Egg Blue of OhM '08 - break components of each layout into its principal parts, delivering highly organized, stylishly modern templates that are as easy to work with as they are on the eyes.

All New for '08.

The OM for Pages templates have been completely rebuilt in the transition to Pages '08, producing a new generation of OM templates that are even easier to use than the previous releases. The entire line of Word Processing-mode documents have been redesigned to adopt a more ink-friendly approach, reducing the dominance of the color accents from the original release to yield a tighter, more professional feel. Business Card templates join the essentials roster, including a photo-driven style that echoes the signature slide of the latest Keynote release. The brochure templates have evolved as well, reborn as Page Layout-mode documents that are infinitely easier to use and customize than ever before, including all new lighter-ink variations of key pages.

In the updated OM for Pages '08 Pro Edition, the Word Processing template pool expands to include Meeting Notes, Project Proposal and Report templates - multi-section templates perfect for prepping quick agendas or summary documents. On the Page Layout side, the updated Poster Templates include multiple signature styles in your choice of standard or new ink-conscious designs, and the updated Newsletter is easier to use than ever before.

Each of the templates is built using the new US/ISO hybrid model introduced with Pages '08, so you'll never need to wonder if you have the correct template format installed, and the new installer integrates the templates directly into Pages' template chooser without the need to delve into the supporting folder structure.

 

 

Soothing + Sophisticated. Like its Keynote namesake, The OM for Pages layouts are designed to provide tremendous flexibility while maintaining an ordered, approachable look + feel. (3-Panel Brochure samples shown in both OM and OhM styles.)

Beyond the Basics

The framework used in our OM '08 for Keynote release has evolved for Pages '08 into a design that's even more print/paper friendly at its base, built entirely with native shape objects so you have the power you need when you want to go beyond the raw templates. Following the instructions included in the Getting Started PDF, you can unlock the color blocks that build the OM and OhM '08 layouts and recolor, reshape or resize the layouts with ease. Modify the pre-placed mosaic layouts with simple Image-Fill modifications, or shift the existing elements around to create a new grid altogether. Mix and match the layouts from any of the like-sized OM or OhM '08 templates to create your own mix - adding magazine-leaning layouts from the Newsletter template to your brochure, or replacing the back cover of your brochure with one of the Small Poster templates. It's completely up to you, and Pages '08 makes it easy every step of the way.
