Add front/cover page from report template to an old report document?

[wordtalk]

Hi,
Is there a way to copy the front/cover page of an existing word repor
template to an old word document? For example, I need to add my repor
template styles (customised) to an old word document report which ha
different template styles. I know how to copy the styles from my repor
template to the old report however my own report template has
front/cover page with the company logo, images and a table with tex
fields which I'd like to copy over to the old report which uses ol
company information and settings. Is there a way to select th
front/cover page from my report template and add it to the old report
My only other solution is to copy and paste all the text from the ol
report and paste it in my own report template. I'd like to avoid it if
can as it's a long 40 page report. I currently use Word 2007 but I'
happy to hear of Word 2010 techniques too as I know they're quit
similar.

Many thanks in advance!

Theoretically, you could just copy/paste the cover page into the old
document, but realistically, it will be more satisfactory to create a new
document based on your template (with cover page) and then use Insert | Text
| Object | Text from File to insert the old document into the new one (after
the cover page). That way you'll get not only the cover page but also the
styles automatically.
