    It blows my mind my how difficult MS WORD is to use. As a graphic designer, I've been using it for designing and creating templates for a client. There are 20 steps for something as simple as adding page numbers. Now, 45 steps to rearrange pages?! Unbelievable. It's 2024, MS needs to get it together.
    Thank you for the video, its just that MS Word has been driving me crazy!

    Honestly it's embarrassing that the industry standard pretty much best program for document creation can't do something as simple as dragging pages to rearrange them

      For technical documents that contain a lot of screen grabs like my work requires I pretty much abandoned Word long ago. Powerpoint is a lot easier. I'm going to convert either to pdf before publishing so it really doesn't matter. Word just seems so 1990s to me.

      Especially since layout programs like Adobe Pagemaker and QuarkXpress had this capability 20 years ago.

    One thing you could try is that converting your word file into a pdf then rearrange the pages with any online tool and converting it back to word file

    I used a resume template as needed for an assignment, and there were no headers/footers used. If I add them in now, I would have to redo the first half of the entire assignment (the footer chops off most of the text at the bottom as well as runs right through a line of text as well and I don't know how to move it to the bottom) and its due on the 26th of this month. Is there a way to move an entirely blank page to the BOTTOM of the "list" of pages? As textboxes were used so I am unable to simply click the bottom of the last page and add the blank page there.
    Sadly I'm spending more time trying to figure this out than working on the actual assignment itself and this shouldn't be.

    You can make a temporary heading on each page and just rearrange them.(use the styles tab)

    Hi, have you a video which deals with gaps between tables? I am working on a document and page 1 has a few lines and a small table, but then it goes to page 2 and I can't find a way to bring the content from page 2 to run on from that table🥴

      Ctrl shift down doesn't target the pictures only the text then when moved the picture disappears completely let alone in the right place.

    From the outline view it is also possible to reorder pages (as long as we have applied title styles).

    how stupid is Microsoft to make it such a pain in the ass to rearrange it tbh after coming across this issue Apple Pages is it, I'm paying Microsoft to do 2 step process in 5 steps not really efficient. Microsoft suit is really a flop considering the other more simple options that are available for FREE
