Default Move a page within a document without altering rest of data?

My son typed a 3 page school paper. The first two pages are the body of the
paper, while the last page is the title page (go figure). I know that when I
print it I can just shift the pages, but is there a way to take the 3rd page
and make it the 1st page?

Thank you.

Word is not a page layout application. There are no 'pages' in a Word
document, merely a flow of text to fill the page layout settings. Copy and
paste is the only solution.

The following macro will move the current page, but don't be too surprised
if it doesn't work quite as you envisaged. How successful it will be will
depend on what is actually on the 'page'.

Sub PageMove()
sNumber = InputBox("Move to location before which page?", "Move Page", 1)
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Cut
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToNext, Name:=sNumber
Selection.Paste
End Sub

yes you can - change your view to Outline. In this view you will notice
marks on the left side of the page. Simply go to the last page, select the +
sign to the left of the beginning of the text you want to move and (with the
mouse button still pressed) pull it up to where you would like it.

Another time honored way to do this is to first put a return and a page break
(Ctrl + enter) at the top of page 1. Then copy the cover page content and
paste it into the new page one.
