I never knew about the "send to back" commands in LR. Really cool. I have made several templates in the Print Module. Is there a way, after the fact, to join them into one set rather than individual templates?

Im assuming you mean grouping your templates together in one folder under Template Browser? You can create a new folder by Right Clicking or CTRL clicking on another Group of templates and choosing New Folder then adding whatever you want - i.e. 8.5x11 templates. Then when you click on the plus sign next to Template Browser and create a new template you can choose the appropriate group. If you already created templates you want to add to the group, just click and drag them to the appropriate group/folder. Hope that helps!

Hi Kayla, is there a way to save the template with the photos so I can go back and work on my page later? Every time I drag pictures to the template, they don't persist there even if I choose "update with current settings". Thanks.

That is a drawback of Lightroom - it is mainly a drag and drop - you cant save it for later like you can Photoshop. Hope that helps.
