Default cover sheet buildingblock

Create two templates. One with the cover page and one without.

The problem is that the user wants to use the template sometimes with and
sometimes without the coverpage. They want the cover sheet bb to be
available
for all word documents (so I can not build a bb that fits just for this
template). But the problem is when the have documents with different first
page. I understand that there is the same problem with the built in cover
shets. I just wonder if I can do anything about it, can I? More than tell
the
users that I can not full fill their requests?

Insert a Next Page Section Break at the beginning of the document and in
what is now the second Section, unlink the header in the first page
header
from that in the first Section. Now move to the first Section and delete
the header from it and then paste your new cover page into the body of
that
Section.

Then save your template. No need to make use of building blocks if you
do
that - just use the template as the basis of the documents that you want
to
create.

Hi
I have some templates that has a logotype on the first page (different
first
page)
Document looks like
1 page - logotype in header and some text in document
2 page - no header some text in document
Now I have made a cover sheet with some text and pictures. What I would
like
to happen is that the document should look exactly like before but with
a
cover page, like:
1 page - cover sheet
2 page - logotype in header and some text in document
3 page - no header some text in document

But what happens is:
1 page - logotype in header cover sheet
2 page - no header and some text in document
3 page - no header some text in document

I now that this has to do with my different first page. So I tried to
make
a
cover sheet with a section break but it will not be saved in the
building
block.
Any suggestions on howe to do?
