Can I use more than one template in one Word document? Jerry V. 06.07.2006 14:29:02 Colleague is trying to use Word more like a desktop publishing program where multiple templates can be used in one document. Any way in Word to do the same other than reformat second document or add paragraph styles or use PDF's?

Re: Can I use more than one template in one Word document? "Margaret Aldis" <Margaret.Aldis[ at ]mvps.(SpamStopper)org.invalid> 06.07.2006 15:13:44 It's usually a mistake to try to use Word like any other program :-) But if you explain what you are trying to do someone here will be able to suggest a way to do it. In fact, being Word, there are probably half a dozen ways to nearly do it, with more or less efficiency! To get you started, try to define what you (or colleague) mean by "multiple templates". Do you mean several different page formats - that would be handled in Word by different sections. Do you mean combining the styles already present in several different templates? That would probably be done using the Organizer or possibly by pasting one document into the other. Reading between the lines, I'm assuming you are trying to combine several existing documents together - what problems are you having with that?

He could create a "library" of such entries and insert them as required.
