document template problem

[Freddie]

Hello,

I have a problem using a document template. I made a
template for putting my text in. The first 2 pages (cover
of the report)must not use the template but for the rest
of the document i have to use the template. I don't know
how to do this. If i insert teh template I cant get 2
empty pages in it.

Thanks
Freddie

I think you misunderstand the use of the word "template." A template can
include all the formatting you require, but a document either uses a
specific template or not; it can't use it just for specific pages. You need
to set up your first two pages as required for the cover page and whatever
other front matter is required (including any boilerplate text you want to
include), then insert a section break and set up the following page with the
header/footer, etc., you require. For some tips on doing this, see
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/NumberingFrontMatter.htm

And note that you don't "insert" a template. You create a new document based
on a template. If you have boilerplate text that you want to be able to
insert in documents, save it as an AutoText entry.
