Sajjad, While you're at it, also take a look at Scribus. It's a good way to create title pages and other layout intensive documents. ERT is a good way to go if you are going to use the document template many times (e.g., you are putting together a handout or something). If it's something you'll only do once, it's often easier to use a layout tool and add it to your document:
Insert->File->External Material Choose the File (as a PDF) and PDF pages from the template diagram. Then click Ok. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.
