I'm working on a large document and need to re-order the pages in my
document. Is it possible to go into a view of all of the pages and drag and
drop them in the correct order like you would in slide sorter view in
PowerPoint?

No, it really isn't because Word doesn't really think in pages the way
PowerPoint thinks in slides. If you keep typing on a powerpoint slide, it
just disappears off the bottom of the page; in Word, it scrolls onto the
next page. If you have used the heading styles, you can go into Outline view
and move logical sections around that way.

No - Word has no concept of what a physical page is. It simply tries to
indicate how many sheets of paper will be required to render your content in
print based on the parameters specified in the file (such as paper size,
margins, formatting, volume of content, etc.). That type of manipulation
requires a page layout/desktop publishing program, such as Publisher.

Depending on a number of variables, you may be able to rearrange the doc in
Outline View, for example, using a dragging technique. The doc will
repaginate accordingly. There's also Cut & Paste, of course.

Didn't use the heading styles... I hate the idea of cutting and
pasting...arrrgh...
Thank you for your response.

Thank you for "breaking it down" for me. If I understand you correctly, I
will need to import the document into a desktop publishing program to
rearrange some pages. That would beat cutting and pasting any day...

Thanks again...
