CS5 doesn’t have a New from Template command, but as David says, you can just choose File > Open and navigate to your duped templates folder. Then you can go ahead and delete the old version of InDesign. Once you’ve got the folder selected in the Finder/Windows Explorer, copy and paste it onto your desktop or something. Then in Bridge, navigate one folder higher than the current view so that the Content pane has a folder called Templates, right-click on the Templates folder and choose Reveal in Finder/Reveal in Explorer (or, just look at the breadcrumb trail/path to the Templates folder and go there manually in your OS). That’ll open up the template folder in Bridge. The easiest way to save the folder is to choose New from Template from the File > New menu in pre-CS5 versions. Let this be a warning to anyone who’s going to delete CS1-CS4 when moving to CS5: Save the stock templates folder first before deleting the app, otherwise they’ll be deleted for you. Linked images are embedded, but you can use the Unembed command in the Links palette menu if you want to open them up in Photoshop or Illustrator. The files contain interesting uses of custom colors and blends, and all make intelligent use of layers, guides, paragraph and character styles. The “Business Sets” folder I’m browsing contains six sets of branded business collateral for a total of 48 templates! Double-clicking a template opens an untitled copy of it in InDesign.Įven if you’re not the type to use a template, they’re great for investigating how a savvy InDesign user might put together a piece. In the screen shot above I’m looking at page 1 of a 2-page newsletter template in Bridge. If you change the view to Filmstrip (from the View menu in Bridge) you can investigate each template page by page without having to actually open them.

Double-click one of the folders or one of the Collections, and Bridge shows you thumbnails of the templates it contains. The InDesign Templates folder contains a bunch of Collections (saved Bridge searches) and further down, 21 subfolders with names like Menus, Presentations, Newsletters, and Forms. Didn’t know you had a templates folder, did you? It was installed automatically with InDesign. What happens next is a bit of surprise Adobe Bridge starts up and shows you the contents of your InDesign Templates folder. You’ll need to re-open the InDesign Welcome screen (which you stopped from automatically appearing long ago) by choosing Welcome Screen from the Help menu, and when the splash screen appears click the New from Template button. The easiest way to find them and preview them is from within InDesign.
