Index Card: Queshtion

Question

I'm a writer and am longing for a method of reordering flash cards in Word by dragging and dropping each individual card as I see fit.

Is there a course in which this can be done?

Answer 1

Index cards generally in Word are going to be cells in a Table.

Reordering those is not going to be simple, especially when you are doing both sides.

Probably the best method would be to be doing the cards as a label mail merge and re-ordering things in your data source.

If you have each card as a single page, then you run into the problem that Word Doesn't Know What a Page Is! https://wordmvp.com/Mac/PagesInWord.html
