When you are satisfied with the new template, click OK.
Selecting and modifying a template
A dialog box will appear asking you how you wish to use the template. You can either:
Apply the template to the current publication
Create a new publication that includes the text and images you have added
Click OK.

Adding, rearranging, and deleting pages
If you're creating a newsletter or another type of publication with multiple pages, you might find the Page Navigation pane useful. The Page Navigation pane gives you a way to view and scroll through the pages in your publication. It also includes features that let you add, move, and delete pages.
To open the Page Navigation pane, click the View tab on the Ribbon, then locate the Show group. Select the Page Navigation check box.

Click OK.
The Insert Page dialog box
The new page or pages will be inserted.

Depending on the template you're using, when you add a new page you may see a dialog box with page layout options.
