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?

Gemma Lipata,

Would you mind telling us, briefly, how you fixed the issue? It might help someone else.

I first make sure there is a blank page where I can transfer. I went to the page I want to transfer, highlight the data I want to transfer and use Control X. I moved the cursor to the blank page and use control V. The control A did not work for me.

Thanks for the clarification. Cut and paste would usually do the trick. It is the way to "move pages" in Word.

I was curious about what you meant by updating—if you wanted an automated solution. Perhaps you were just referring to editing.

Answer 1

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.

Hi Gemma, you can easily move pages in Microsoft Word by selecting the text and content you want to move, pressing Ctrl + X, clicking where you want to place it, and pressing Ctrl + V. If you want to move a page to another Word document, you can use the same method. For documents with images, tables, or special formatting, make sure to select all the content on that page before cutting and pasting it. I hope this helps
