What to do with these templates

This is probably an ultra-basic question, but when we have a notebook template that suits us, how do we use it? Specifically, if I have one page with exactly the layout, keywords, etc. I need, how do I create a new page of the same kind, rather than just a generic outlining or writing page?

I should clarify my question a little. I know from page 128 of the version 2 manual that I can apply certain of a page's settings to other pages in the notebook. But what about pages where, for example, there is a certain number of cells, and the first has a certain keyword attached, the second another, and so on (a bit like a Filemaker record, I suppose)? It can be a bit tedious to keep checking what the standard format is and recreating it.

Good thing the fate of the universe didn't hinge on an answer to this.

Unfortunately, it appears that it did. Recent predictions of global warming much faster than was originally expected appear to be connected in some mysterious way to the templates.

ricki:
I just duplicate a page I like. I have a page that I customized to be a form. It has specific keywords that are the field names. I keep the original page blank, duplicate it, and then fill in the duplicate page for use in my notebook.

Hope that helps.
