Greetings, bb714...

Click on "Hide Styles Drawer" under "View" on Pages menu bar...

Ciao...

That works, but my problem is Pages automatically opens the dialog box whenever I open a new document. That's the problem I'm trying to solve.

Try opening a new window (with nothing else open), hiding the drawer, then closing the window. That seems to be Apple's method of picking the default options for a window in any given program.

The Styles box is still popping out automatically.

Here is an actual way to get rid of it:

- Open a new document
- Close the drawer
- Save your blank document as a template
- Go into the Preferences and choose to use this template upon launch

What's even better is if you put meaningful text (headers & footers) and placeholder text with predefined styles (title & headings) in your template

Thanks pyr0sphere. That did the trick.
