creating different templates

[Niv]

I would like to create a document template based on a simple template,
but the created template varies depending on choices as follows:

One of several possible headers/footers (each stored as word doc or
text),
One of several main titles (each stored as word doc or text),
Add in Level "X" headlines, customised for each item in a list,

and possibly more in a similar vein.

TIA, Niv

I have a document which I treat as a template, I have to write
specifications for various units, wgich are all similar in nature.
I already have a list of the various units.
The doc I use as a template has to be modified so that I can:
1. Select a header & footer from a selection of available header/
footers (which I can store as a selection of blank docs with the
appropriate header footer?)
2. Modify a "project" title according to a list,
3. Modify a heading (paragraph level 1.2) so that it corresponds to
the first item from a list, and then, insert further paras at the same
level, one for each further item in this list, with each modified
according to the list.

Hi

In Word a template is a technical term with a specific, technical meaning.
It means a .dot file that was created by doing File > New and choosing to
create a new template or by doing File > Save As and choosing to save as a
template.

Having created your template, you then create a new document using File >
New and choosing your template.

1. Select a header & footer from a selection of available header/
footers (which I can store as a selection of blank docs with the
appropriate header footer?)

Try AutoText. You can create a button on the toolbar to list just those
AutoTexts created in the Header or Footer style. See
Using AutoText
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm

2. Modify a "project" title according to a list,

Try an AutoText list. See
How to add pop-up lists to any Word document, so you can click your way
through changes in seconds
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm

3. Modify a heading (paragraph level 1.2) so that it corresponds to
the first item from a list, and then, insert further paras at the same
level, one for each further item in this list, with each modified
according to the list.

I don't think I understand this third requirement. Once you've got the other
two requirements sorted out, post back and let us know some more about this
third requirement.

Hope this helps.
