Default Copy pages from previous publications

I'm creating a 32 page document for a marching band program. Some of the
pages, including the cover, will be re-used from last year's publication. I
created this on Publisher 2003 and am using the same this year. I can't
figure out how to move the needed pages from last year's publication to the
current project. I'm not giving up my day job! Thanks in advance for any help.

=====================================
I guess I do things the hard way but I think I would
open last year's publication, delete the unwanted
information and insert the new.

Or you could open two instances of Publisher...
one with the old document and one with the new..
tile them side by side and copy/paste from one to
the other.

Maybe the following article will offer some ideas:

I do a 16 pg newsletter where many things are the same each time. I just
pull up the one I have completed and save it under another name and work from
that document. I can keep what I need and delete the rest

I strongly suggest against doing this, as it's a common route to file
corruption.

Create a template file from scratch (with all the bits that are the same
each time there, and those that aren't containing just blank text boxen
or whatever), and save it as a Publisher Template.
