Hi Matt,

Probably the best solution would be to use either:
• Save As to save the required pages as a PDF file (you can choose the pages to save by clicking on the 'Options' button that appears after you've chosen the PDF file type); or
• a PDF 'printer' and 'print' the required pages.
That way, you can ensure your recipients will see your document laid out exactly as you intend; otherwise, the layout will be somewhat at the mercy of their own systems and some recipients may not even be able to open docx files.

Failing that, doing the copy/paste will probably work best if you use Draft view, as some of the Section breaks in your document aren't apparent in Print Layout view. To preserve the layout, you'll need to copy everything from the page heading down to and including the 'Next Page' Section break, then past that into your target document. You can then delete the 'Next Page' Section break and the empty paragraph that follows it from the target document. It helps too if the target document has the same basic page layout vis-à-vis margins etc. as the source document.

On a side note, I see that everything in your document has the 'Normal' Style applied but that you've overridden that throughout to achieve the formats you require. You really should learn how to define and use other Styles for this as, in the long run, it will make all of your documents easier to maintain.
