Default Using Forms in header and footer (or linking file properties)

You don't need a section break to get different headers and footers if the
different "background" is needed only on the first page. If you check
"Different first page" on the Layout tab of Page Setup, you'll get a
separate First Page Header/Footer and Header/Footer. You create both of
these, then delete the second page. Word will remember the Header/Footer
when they are needed. For more on this, see

Thanks for the summary on StyleRef. I won't use them for this

application,
but I'm sure in the future I'll be able to put them to good use.

I have a question about Inserting pages. Is there away to insert a page
from a template. Since I have a need for two different "backgrounds" or
title blocks, I'm using a section break with two different

headers/footers.
Therefore in my template I need the 2 pages defined. Now what if you only
need one page. Then people need to delete the second page. Is that easily
done with a second section defined?

Also, if you have a document at REV-A with only 1 page and it needs
updating to REV-B which requires adding pages, how do you add those

second,
third, etc. pages with a different background from the first page?

Thats why I would like to be able to go InsertPageFrom Template... and
have a template for the first page and one for the following pages.
Possible?
