Inserting a template into a word .doc

[Sharon]

I do medical transcribing and need to keep inserting different templates into
the same document. When I first open the "new" blank document I set the font
and font size, then want to insert a template so I can fill in the blanks,
but the font and font size do not look the same even though when I click on
the letter and look up top to see what size the font is it says Arial 11. If
I open the template and start typing then I cannot re-open it again for
another dictation.
I read somewhere the simple route is best in Word.
So, simply I need to send one whole document for the day with a bunch of
different doctors that each have their own "template" of the way they want
their reports typed and I don't want to have to re-type each set of headings,
just insert a template or whatever, and fill in the blanks!
Does that make sense?

A template is not something you "insert"; it's something you attach or
apply. It sounds as if what you're describing as a template is a form of
some sort, and that's even more something you can't "insert." I see what
you're trying to do, but in fact your best bet is to create a new document
based on the correct template before you start typing.
