Default Need help keeping formatting when pasting into other document

At the beginning of your document, insert a Section Break, Next Odd

Then above that new break (so you need to have the ShowAll option on to
see
the non-printer characters), use Insert, File and choose the 'fancy
front
page'.

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.
