Newbie How-To: Page template for same look and feel in pages
After you made your first page, you want other pages to have same visual attributes as first one.
Manual adjustment is tedious. Page template is really a useful thing here.
1.Open your preferred page
[Corrected after Yvonne's answer]
1A. Temporarily change the Name of this page to something you never use as a name
2.Save as Page Template

3.Give it a name
3A.[Corrected after Yvonne's answer] Change back old name of your page you started with.
----------
4.When build new pages, use your new template

5.You get "PAGE TEMPLATE LOADED" (no additional page is visible here! Nor in the list of pages.)
6.Start changing current page's attributes (Name, Title, Caption)
Here is a bug: you are losing original page.
You will need again 'new page from template' to get back your original.
Now you have two pages.
For every new page to make, I think you need to have opened the page from which you made this template as current page.
Or you will lose the page which you have not saved as template.
Despite bug, this is better than manually adjust every next page.
I'm sure the bug will be fixed.
Or I am doing something wrong and will learn from answers here.
Save page as... will be better solution.
