Inserting cover page in front of a template page

[samsmom]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Hi,

I'm preparing a proposal and using a template from my word project gallery. I want the template page to show up as page 2, so I can insert a cover page as page 1. (I don't want my logo from my template to show on the cover page) How can I insert a blank page first, to create my cover page, before my template page?

My template page 1 has my logo, and when I try to insert a cover page, it places it on top of my template.

Thanks for your help!

I am not sure that I understand what you are trying to do.

A "Template" in Word is a single file: it will contain all of the content.
Word doesn't know about "pages", they are artificially generated when Word
displays or prints the document; they're not in the file.

So you need to start with a blank document, insert your cover page, then
insert your logo and page 2. You will probably need a section break after
the cover page, so you can place your logo in the header without having it
appear on the first page.

When you get the whole thing to your liking, save the entire file to "My
Templates" and use that from now on.

There is an Insert>File command you can use to insert one document into
another, but you are unlikely to be able to use this in your case, because
it omits the section break you will need to get the cover page working.

Sorry: I am not very clear what you are trying to do...

Cheers
