Well, the idea of the section break is to preserve the settings in the
document, which includes the margins. I assumed you wanted to insert the
cover page exactly as it existed in the second document.

Thanks so much for your reply Terry.

I tried that but it doesn't work. All of the formatting is still lost.

elzar,

I just tried what Suzanne suggested, adding the second section AFTER
the cover:
1. insert page break new section
2. make header and footing independent, remove them entirely
3. insert file [the formatted second section]

It almost worked, I got the right font, the right size, the right
header/footer, but...
I got left with the old margins.

If I had set them to the second section's margins, I would have been
done and got what I wanted.

The Cover Page Exists.

I added to that document a SecondSection with all its margins, fonts,
font sizes, headers/footers

I wish to preserve the Cover Page *and* the SecondSection's
characteristics.

NEVER do I wish to obliterate one for the other. To me, this is a
major flaw in Word.
