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

I am using Word2000. Although I am an IT person with many years
computer experience, when it comes to fancy word processing - forget
it. I haven't a clue, although I can usually figure things out enough
to do what I need to get done, and never have to do anything that fancy
anyway. But now I am totally stumped.

I have a big document which someone else sent me a fancy schmancy cover
page to add to it, with a vertical line down one side, a company image,
writing in different styles (or something), an embedded image,
different fonts all over the place etc.

When I paste the cover page into a new blank page in my document it
loses all of its formatting.

I've even tried the PASTE SPECIAL options but they don't work either,
and have different problems. For instance the closest I can get to
keeping the formatting is to use the "Microsoft Word Document Object"
choice from "paste special" but that cuts off one of the pictures in
the document - plus it mysteriously results in the entire cover page
being effing INVISIBLE in normal view, and even worse, when I convert
the document to a PDF (which I need to do) that cover page looks really
really wierd.


What is the magic secret to pasting in part of one document into
another and keeping the original formatting, or is it just not even
possible??????????

I even tried pasting my document into the fancy one, but even though
mine has no real fancy stuff, it is very different from the cover page,
and then all 50 of my pages look nuts as they take on whatever
characteristics the cover page has.

Any help appreciated.
