How to Move / Rearrange Pages in a Microsoft Word Document - Two Easy Methods 

Honestly it's embarrassing that the industry standard pretty much best program for document creation can't do something as simple as dragging pages to rearrange them

quite weird that we have an navigation pane and we cant yet dragging the pages :/

It blows my mind my how difficult MS WORD is to use. As a graphic designer, I've been using it for designing and creating templates for a client. There are 20 steps for something as simple as adding page numbers. Now, 45 steps to rearrange pages?! Unbelievable. It's 2024, MS needs to get it together. Thank you for the video, its just that MS Word has been driving me crazy!

I just realized I needed this after 52 pages written ...

Wow, this took seconds after watching your video. I'm amazed because I tried so many things and couldn't do it before but thank you!

Why is it when I go 'Insert_Blank Page' it put the new page above the last page?

Extremely helpful. Instructions are clear. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much Only your method worked

Yess thank you for showing the firts method! No one else showed it on youtube

Thank you. You are a project saver. 😅

One thing you could try is that converting your word file into a pdf then rearrange the pages with any online tool and converting it back to word file

The fact that I can't figure out something so simple shows Word is poorly designed. Been using it for 30+ years.

Thanks for the tips

Thank you so much for this!

Thanks!

Thanks for this. It just shows how unuserfriendly word can be

Thank you so much for finally putting an end to my suffering!!!

It really helped me a lot

first method worked like rihanah thanks

thanks alot sir

You can make a temporary heading on each page and just rearrange them.(use the styles tab)

I used a resume template as needed for an assignment, and there were no headers/footers used. If I add them in now, I would have to redo the first half of the entire assignment (the footer chops off most of the text at the bottom as well as runs right through a line of text as well and I don't know how to move it to the bottom) and its due on the 26th of this month. Is there a way to move an entirely blank page to the BOTTOM of the "list" of pages? As textboxes were used so I am unable to simply click the bottom of the last page and add the blank page there. Sadly I'm spending more time trying to figure this out than working on the actual assignment itself and this shouldn't be.

Why we can not just do dragging😣

Hi, have you a video which deals with gaps between tables? I am working on a document and page 1 has a few lines and a small table, but then it goes to page 2 and I can't find a way to bring the content from page 2 to run on from that table🥴

The page numbers went with the moved group of pages and did not update when I updated the table in TOC?

Mine does not look like that after hitting navigation. It is completely different. I do not know how to or see how to get to this. There s nothing that says headings or pages.

Great help - thanks!

and people still say MS shit is better than Apple's? Word can't do the most simple task of rearranging pages in your document😂

When I click on a page in the pane like 78, it takes me back to page 1...every time.

Awesome 👍 thank you

Hi Chester. Great tip! Using Headings is the way to go. Thanks for demonstrating. Thumbs up!!

Thank you! It worked!!

It works! As usual in your videos. Subscribed. :)

The fact that you cant drag and drop even in 2024 makes me HATE Word more and more each day!😡

How do you do this on google sheets? I want page 1 to be page 2 without ruining the format of original page 1. Thanks.

Thank you Chester. From the outline view it is also possible to reorder pages (as long as we have applied title styles).

And this is why I work in Mac Pages.

Great video but very blurry.

MS word is the most unpredictable software. I just hate this software

youd think after so many years microsoft would be a bit more with the times..

It’s sad that if you have multiple pages out of order it would be easier to convert to a pdf, easily arrange all pages in Adobe Acrobat, then convert back to Word format. Thanks Microsoft.

Great tips

MICROSOFT, IT'S 2023. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!

Not being able to rearrange pages by dragging and dropping is ridiculous. Typical lack of customer obsession by Microsoft.

Why is it so freakin hard to do this ?!, everytime i try to get back to Microsoft software i end up covered in a penetrating smell of sh$t, it takes time to learn but Latex is superior in every concibable way.

Ridiculous you have to go through all this work to move a page around. Get better Microsoft!

Microsoft suck

just comes to show how frustrating working in microsoft word and formatting documents is 🥹 thanks for the video
