Please help-I created a newsletter using Word template (do not have
Publisher) and now I can't insert spaces above the first article and I need
to add something there. Please help? Thanks.

What exactly are you trying to add? Text? A new article at the
beginning of the newsletter? Generally speaking, in Word you just type
text and have the application insert pages as needed. However, in a
newsletter template the layout is probably based on (linked) text
boxes and manual page breaks, which makes things a little more
difficult. For example, you cannot add a page in Word by duplicating
an existing one (including text boxes and other objects).

One way to "add a page" (assuming that it is in fact using text boxes
and page breaks) to document A would be to create a second newsletter,
B, add the contents you want, delete any unnecessary pages (which
involves deleting all objects and manual page breaks), save the file,
and then insert B at the beginning of A.

When inserting document B, make sure that the cursor is at the
beginning of document A by pressing Ctrl+Home, and then use Insert |
File.

Note that you may want to try this first on a *copy* of document A, in
case the result is not what you want.

Before inserting document B, insert a manual page break in document A.
