how to use multiple templates in one worddoc

[eric dietz]

I want to create a newsletter with a first page that is different from the
following pages. So I created two templates. How can I attach these
templates to the right pages?

Or is there a better way to add additional pages with the same lay-out?

You will find it easier with one template.
Format->Document->Layout->Different first page

In fact, I don't have a clue about two templates for one document. I'd
guess it was impossible. Faced with that, I'd chicken out, create two
PDFs and join them together with PDF glue ;-)

Hi Eric:

Sadly, you can't do that yet. It's coming when we get the full
implementation of Cascading Style Sheets, which is in the PC version of Word
this time around.

Unfortunately, it's part of the dot-Net functionality, which I am told there
is no demand for on the Mac yet. So they cannot justify the cost of
bringing it over.

Please put a suggestion in to MSWISH about this: the more people who ask for
it, the sooner we'll get it.

In the meantime, Elliot is absolutely correct: you can do this with a single
template. If you need more than three sets of page layouts in a document,
add a section-break to give you three more, etcetera.

Look up the Help topic " About sections and section breaks" to get you
started.

Cheers
