Create a new document based on the template, then use Insert | File to
insert the other document, or select all but the final paragraph mark of the
other document and copy/paste. Note that if it is only the document styles
you're after, then attaching the template with "Automatically update
document styles" may do what you want, but see

I have a 63 page document that needs to be formatted the same as another
document. I have made a custom template from the latter document. How
can I
get the 63 page one into that custom template, without re-typing?
