By default, a document template does not create new pages, because at design time you do not know when a page starts. However, the template can defines data placeholders. You can define pagination in a document template through master pages.
A master page is used in same way as a style. You assign the master page to an element. A master page creates a section in the Word document by inserting a section break. Check the documentation of Microsoft Office for information on how section breaks affect the formatting and content of the document.
