    In this video I explain how to easily move or rearrange pages in a Microsoft Word document. Method one uses the multi-item clipboard and copy / paste, method two uses Word's Navigation Pane in conjunction with heading styles
    Table of Contents:
    00:00 - Introduction
    00:26 - Clipboard method
    02:12 - Heading styles method

    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.

    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!

    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🥴

    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)

    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

    The fact that I can't figure out something so simple shows Word is poorly designed. Been using it for 30+ years.

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

    When I click on a page in the pane like 78, it takes me back to page 1...every time.

    Mine does not look like that after hitting navigation. It is completely different. I do not know how to or see how to get to this. There s nothing that says headings or pages.

    How do you do this on google sheets? I want page 1 to be page 2 without ruining the format of original page 1. Thanks.

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

    Not being able to rearrange pages by dragging and dropping is ridiculous. Typical lack of customer obsession by Microsoft.

  • @HoldYourSeahorses

    It’s sad that if you have multiple pages out of order it would be easier to convert to a pdf, easily arrange all pages in Adobe Acrobat, then convert back to Word format. Thanks Microsoft.
