Thank you sir, no one tells you that you cannot drag pages to different locations in the navigation pane. After a lot of frustration, I finally got the answer! Appreciate the help.
The styles & navigation method is by far the best. A document of any size needs a structure and the ability to see that structure in the navigation pane is pretty much a necessity. A custom style takes time to set up, modifying one of the existing and making it your own, that's worth the time to learn. From a productivity perspective I find this to be the best ROI for your time if new to MS Word.
Excellent video - thank you. There is another shortcut that can be used. If we highlight the selected text and hold Shift+Alt, we can use the up and down arrows to move the highlighted text. Note: this will move the whole paragraph, even if you only select text within the paragraph. I found this very useful when I wanted to move text up and down within an outline, but it works with just normal text also.
FYI this doesn't work (moving sections via headings in the navigation pane) on WORD for MAC. On a MAC use the outline view- make sure the outline menu is visible at the top- put it to the heading level you want (I use heading 1) and then you can drag and drop in that top outline menu that shows up. This allows you to easily move huge text in moments with no risk. (Cut and paste is not a good way to do it with substantial text- like a book, dissertation, etc)
LIFESAVER. I noticed at the end of a huge project that my Reference and Appendix sections were in the wrong order. This included lots of text and images. I simply gave each of them a styled heading and move it. Literally a 60 second fix, which saved me copying and pasting and reediting images mixed in with text. Thank you so much.
is there any way to rearrange pages without having to mess around with headings? I`m writing a novel and pages of novels dont typically have headings. Just need a solution that involves dragging pages where i need them
Hi, Dear, Chris. I copied RUclips transcript and pasted on Word file. How could I quickly delete all the spaces to form a formal word file? Instead of delete the spaces one by one. You know what I mean.
Thanks Chris, However, since my document was largely built-up out of text frames, none of these methods worked for me. I found a very good workaround though: Export to PDF, install PDF24 (windows) and sort with ease!
guys instead of it i have a better solution just add all the content on whatever pages you want then with an online converter from word to pdf then after converting to pdf format use pdf sorter to change page location to what you want much better than what is shown in video
Once you do Arrange all you can never get out! Ex with full screen which is awful. I've shut down and it seems to remember this. What a horrible feature. I'm on Word for Mac

You are welcome!
Chris, I don't usually make comments, but your video was clear, well explained and worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for posting such good stuff.

Thank you so much for giving the details on how to do this on the MAC!!! This video and this comment was so helpful!!!
Thanks for saving hours 🙏
Glad to help.

Adam, thanks for the great example. I'm glad it worked.
Thank you! The Headings view usage is really neat!
Thank you, Lorenzo.
LIFE SAVER! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you!
That is a fantastic video, thank you very much for showing us this!
Thank you sir! It worked
You're welcome!
Great tip. Being able to shift items in the outline /navigation panel is great. Can you also delete whole parts in the same panel?
That’s just copying and pasting????? That’s no moving the page.
Chris, your videos are so informative, thank you so much.
My pleasure! I enjoy making youtube videos! Thanks, Wendy.

Great Video, Just one thing when I move page, the text will move but not an image or object?
does this only work for pc? because it doesn’t seem like the mac version allows this. tried dragging the headings and nothing happens
Unfortunately, it doesn't work on MacOs
How can I view two pages from right to left?
Thanks Chris,

happy new year 2023 😀
Thank you. Happy New Year! 2023 is going to be great!
Can you do this on an iPad ?
There does not seem to be a video that will tell you what to do if you your view is different.
well done
Thank you.
When I hit navigation, I do not see the 3 words Pages, Results, and Headings. Nope, I do not have that.
thank you
You're welcome
Best and easy method to move pages !!!?
How do you move the WHOLE PAGE
Not possible to move a whole page in Word.
guys instead of it i have a better solution just add all the content on whatever pages you want then with an online converter from word to pdf then after converting to pdf format use pdf sorter to change page location to what you want much better than what is shown in video

Not helpful at all
Just wanted to know how to move around pages in Word like we can PowerPoint. You didn't answer that simple question.
What garbage software this is.
