We have a new document (9 pages) that needs to be templated. That templated document will then be inserted into multiple existing templates. Is there any way to format it once and then insert the file into these additional templates?

Sorry, I think I understand what you need but I believe there is only one way to accomplish it.  If I understand you are looking to merge Templates, so if you create Template A with Document A, and Template B with Document B, how would you create Template C that has both Document A and Document B.  To accomplish this you would need to "Use" Template A, add Document B, apply Template B and send, then go to that envelope under Manage, Sent, and select "Save as Template". You now have created Template C with Document A and Document B with appropriate fields.

My suggestion is to create Template A, upload the document, add fields and Recipients etc.  Then copy Template A making Template B, then adjust what is needed under Template B and so and so on.  If the document needs to change slightly from Template A, then for Template B you use the "replace" feature which allows the documents to be swapped without losing DocuSign fields, then you make the adjustments based on what changed in the document.
