Could you give some more examples of what you are trying to accomplish? What do you want to update? How do you want to move pages?

Also, which version of Word do you have? The locally installed Windows version? Or the web app?

Hi, @Gemma Lipata

In Word, pages are not separate objects, so moving a page usually means moving all of the text, images, and other content on that page.

If you haven't already, select the content you want to move, press Ctrl+X, click where you want it moved, then press Ctrl+V.

To help narrow this down:

Are you trying to move pages within the same Word document, or transfer them to another Word document?
Do the pages contain only text, or also images, tables, headers, or special formatting?

To move or copy pages in Word, use one of these methods:

Copy a page to another location
- For a one-page document: press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C.
- For a multi-page document: place the cursor at the start of the page, drag to the bottom of that page, then press Ctrl+C.
- Go to where the page should appear.
- Select Insert > Blank Page.
- Press Ctrl+V to paste.
Move sections more easily with headings
- If the document uses headings, open the Navigation pane.
- Select the Headings tab.
- Drag the heading to a new location to move that part of the document.
Convert an older document before editing
- If the document is in Compatibility Mode, select File > Info > Convert.
- To keep a separate copy, use File > Save As, choose Word Document, and clear Maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word.

If the goal is to move full pages, copying the page content and pasting it onto a new blank page is the supported method. If the document is structured with headings, the Navigation pane is the easiest way to move larger sections.
