Multi-page templates

D

Is it possible to have different templates for different pages of a document.

We want to be able to create a template which has 3 different page types (at
least):

1. Full text (5 columns)
2. Text (3 columns) + images (2 columns)
3. Full page images

Is there a resonable way of creating this as a single template or do I need
to create a macro on page one, attached to a button, that inserts a page of
type 2 or 3 in the appropriate place?

You'll need to set up a template that has at least three pages and includes
some section breaks and expect to encounter problems unless users are well
trained. Note that Word can't do full-page wrapped images; they must be
anchored to a text paragraph on the same page. One approach is to put the
image in a single table cell the size of the page, but you won't be able to
wrap text around it.

Thanks

Hopefully the users for this template should be reasonablby trained ;)

OK, so each page of the template is different - 1 for each of the required
pages mentioned in the original question.

How do I select the appropriate template when I need a further page.
Furthermore, how do I get Word to ask me which page I want to add when I hit
the bottom of the page?

Hi Dan -

Docs are based on *A* template. You can construct the template as a 3 page
file. The variable layout will require the use of section breaks & you might
do well to use tables or text boxes for the images to be inserted into...
perhaps for the text as well unless you need newspaper-type columns.

based on your description much of it may very well be useful to you:
