This article teaches you how to rearrange the page order of a Microsoft Word document. Word doesn't currently provide a simple way to do this, but you can still change the order of the pages by creating a title for each page or cutting the content of one page and pasting it onto another. Microsoft Word does not provide a feature to arrange page order like Microsoft Power Point.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Using Title
Step 1. Open the document
Double-click the document you want to rearrange so that it opens in Microsoft Word.
Step 2. Click the Home menu
It's at the top of the Word window.
Step 3. Add a title at the top of each page
To add a title, type a title (for example, "Page 1") at the beginning of the page and press Enter, select a title, and click Heading 1 in the menu Styles.
- On a Mac, you may have to select Styles in the drop-down box on the right side of the menu.
- Depending on the document format, you may have to scroll to the bottom of the menu Styles to find options Heading 1.
Step 4. Click the View menu
This menu is located to the right of the menu Home.
Step 5. Check the Navigation Pane box
You can find this box in the menu section Show. When you tick it, the window Navigation will open on the left side of the Word window.
Step 6. Click Headings
This is an option at the top of the panel Navigation. When you do this, a list of title options in the Microsoft Word document appears.
Step 7. Reset the title
Click and drag the title up or down in the panel Navigation until the entire page order is to your liking, then release the mouse button. The pages in your Word document will change in the order you created them.
Step 8. Save the document
Press Ctrl+S (Windows) or Command+S (Mac).
Method 2 of 2: Using Cut and Paste Options
Step 1. Open the document
Double-click the document you want to rearrange so that it opens in Microsoft Word.
Step 2. Find the page you want to move
Scroll the mouse until you find the page you want to move.
Step 3. Select the text on the page
Click and hold the mouse button just before the first word, then drag the cursor to the last word. When you release the mouse button, all of the text on the page is highlighted.
Step 4. Cut the text on the page
Press Ctrl+X (Windows) or Command+X (Mac) to do this. "Cutting" will copy the highlighted text and remove it from the document, so don't be surprised when the text disappears from your document.
Step 5. Find where you want to put the text
Scroll the mouse up or down until you find the page where you will paste the text you cut.
Step 6. Click the beginning of the page
The cursor will be where you want to paste the page.
Step 7. Paste the text
Press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac), then press Enter. The text you have cut will appear. The first word will fall where you put your mouse cursor.
Step 8. Save the document
Press Ctrl+S (Windows) or Command+S (Mac).
