Okay so getting to your question. There are two ways to get the template to work with your desired text.
Method 1: Copy and Paste:
Is the easiest, you double click on the BookCreator.dot file and a new document opens up. Then you cut and paste the text you want to edit in the document. Typically I have my web browser up to with the target book I want to edit, another word document that I am editing.
The real drawback here is if the document is huge, I'm talking about book pages that equate to several thousand pages, or lots of graphs. Then this methods will not be optimal
Method 2: Import File
shighfield solution is way better than my original method 2 so I'm updating it with his solution. (Thank you shighfield)
1)Double click on the BookCreatot.dot Template
2) Select menu option "Inset|File..."
3) Find you document and Select the <Open> button.

I'm REALLY new at this, so please bear with me. I have a hard copy of a book, and when I scan it to myself it automatically goes to pdf format. Is there either 1) a way to scan it automatically into word format or 2) a way to convert pdf to a word document? If I could figure this out, I think it would save me a lot of time. I'm reading tons and tons of posts, and this seems to be the key that I'm missing.
