how can i add a template to an existing word document?

Question

i'm working with vb to automate word documents 

so to create a new document i use 

dim oword as word.application

dim odoc as word.documant 

odoc=oword.documents.add

and to open a document i use

odoc=oword.document.add(mypath+mytemplate)

but i'm struggling now how to add a template to an existing document for example i want to print 5 invoices on the same document so i open word and add the first template 

like this odoc=oword.document.add(mypath+mytemplate) and at the second invoice i want it not to open a seperate document can someone help me?

Answer 1

i  found a solution i used the folowing code

 

oWord.ActiveDocument.Characters.Last.Select()                    oWord.Selection.InsertBreak(word.WdBreakType.wdPageBreak)                    oWord.Selection.InsertFile(Application.StartupPath + "\shulltamp.dotx")

but the problem with that is that even though the teplate is inserted but i can not reffer to the bookmarks of the template becuase it refers to the first template all the time
