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.
