Default How do you swap pages in Word?

Is there a way to swap pages and all associated content in Word? For
instance, let's say I decide to change the order of some of my content, and
I want to swap pages 12, 13,14 with 31, 32, 33....is this possible without
cutting and pasting?

Thumbs up Answer: How do you swap pages in Word?

Yes, it is possible to swap pages and all associated content in Word without cutting and pasting. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Open your Word document and go to the page you want to move.
  2. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the "Breaks" button in the "Page Setup" section of the ribbon.
  4. Select "Next Page" under "Section Breaks."
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the page you want to swap with.
  6. Click on the "View" tab in the ribbon.
  7. Click on "Navigation Pane" in the "Show" section of the ribbon.
  8. The Navigation Pane will appear on the left side of the screen. Click on the "Pages" tab.
  9. Find the pages you want to swap and click and drag them to their new location.
  10. Once you have moved the pages to their new location, you can delete the section breaks you added in steps 3-4.

That's it! Your pages and all associated content should now be swapped without the need for cutting and pasting.

If they have distinctive Headings above them, you can go to Outline
View, collapse them to only that level of outline, and drag the
heading to where you want it to be.

Word doesn't really have "pages," so the simplest way to do it is to
insert Section Breaks before and after the part you want to move, and
cut & paste the section.

No. The main reason being that Word has no idea what a "page" is. For more
information see http://daiya.mvps.org/wordpages.htm

If you used heading styles, you might be able to rearrange parts in the
outline by dragging them around.

Well, if you have been using the built-in headings, you can switch to
Outline view, collapse headings and then move a heading and all of its
subordinate paragraphs. Beyond that, there's only cut and paste.
