Word is not a page alyout application so there are no 'pages' as such, but a
continuous document flowed to the page layout settings, as dictated by the
current printer driver. What may work for you is to output to a PDF printer
driver, such as PrimoPDF (or of course Acrobat) and set the option to
'print' in reverse order. This will produce a document viewable on screen
with Adobe Reader that is in reverse page order, retaining the original page
numbering.

Hi,

I'm not sure this can be done, but ... going to ask anyway. XP Pro SP3
and Office 2002.

Is there a way to reverse the order of pages in a Word document? Last page
becomes first, next to last becomes next, and so on. Instead of 1, 2, 3,
... the physical appearance changes to 42, 41, 40 ... 3, 2, 1.

I have a Word document which is displayed 'upside down': In other words,
the LAST page is page 1, next to last is page 2, and so on down to the
first page, which is page 42, but at the bottom of the file; last page
shown.

This is meant to be an onscreen reference, so printing in reverse order
won't suffice; access is going to be onscreen. I made some brief tests as
simply cutting/pasting the pages into their correct order but quickly got
lost and botched the job; mainly because as soon as you move a page, its
page number changes in Word, so without making each page large enough to
see and comparing next/following pages, one gets lost pretty quickly.
Thought about a macro, move bottom to position 1, bottom to position 2,
etc, but I'm not able to get anything to work. I just don't know VBA well
enough.

Any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this?

TIA,

Twayne
