Change order of pages in a Word document
In Excel sheets can be moved to change their order; in Powerpoint slides can
be moved around; but what about in Word? Say I have a 9-page Word document and I want to move the 6th page so it becomes the 3rd page, can this be done easily without cutting/pasting, creating section breaks etc???? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! |

No, you can't.
If your pages have logical headings, Outline View might help: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingOLView.htm If you want to know why you can't, there's an attempt at explaining he http://daiya.mvps.org/wordpages.htm On 9/20/05 11:21 AM, "NZJen" wrote: In Excel sheets can be moved to change their order; in Powerpoint slides can be moved around; but what about in Word?

Thankyou Daiya - this does help, and I did suspect that was the case. I have
used Outline view previously to move pages up and down, but as you say it is not as user-friendly as PowerPoint or Excel. I have not, however, tried printing the pages in a different order, e.g. 1,3,5,2,7 but will try that and see how it goes. I was really hoping I could pick up page 7 and move it to become page 3, but obviously I cannot do this! Ah well, perhaps a newer version of Word in the future may solve this problem!!?
