    Thomas:

    I almost declined to answer because you typed your question in ALL CAPITALS.  On the Internet, that is equivalent to shouting.  It is considered very rude. That explains why it has taken so long for someone to answer: most of the other folks in this forum would leave such a question by the wayside...

    To create a duplicate page in Word, you copy the page you have, and paste it at the end.

    I suspect this does not really answer your question: I suspect you are asking how to create "more pages" in a Word document.  The answer, quite literally, is "keep typing".

    "Pages" do not actually exist in a Word document (or any other word processor file).  Word makes up pages on the way out to the printer or to your screen: they don't exist in the document.  Word simply stacks the text one character at a time from the top of the document (the top left, if you are writing in English...) and when it has stacked as many as will fit on the paper size you have selected, it displays a new page and continues stacking.  This can go on for thousands of pages.

    So to create another page: type more content.

    I have the felling I still have not helped you.  That's the answer to your question, but to be properly helpful, I need more detail from you on what you are trying to do.

    If you are talking about making two pages that are always the same, first read John McGhie's response, Word does not really think in terms of pages but of content.

    You can make things typed in one spot replicate in another spot. There are a number of ways to do this. They are all explored here so far as I know: Repeating Data (Populating Multiple Like Fields)

    I do not know which of them work on a Mac, though.

    Best way to do this is to go to the View tab on the top and switch to Publishing Layout. You will then be able to go to the Insert tab on the top and select Duplicate Page. Then you can switch back to Print Layout from the View tab and continue writing!

    Not in 2016 But there is in 2011. And it is reviled by most Users that are experts such as MVP's. It's Microsoft attempt at making Word into a Publishing program. Its equivalent in PC version in 2010 and 2013 is to use Publisher a separate program.

    AS for the original poster, I fear we have run him off because of our chastising him for his "All caps Message".

    If he had been using Computers as long as us old fogies, that usually provide the answers, he would have been around at the creation of the modern Internet, and Rules of the Road created. One is that typing in: "All Caps" is the same thing as shouting at the top of you lungs so hard, that the blood vessels in you neck pop out. There was actually, a consortium or association that officially sanctioned the Rules of the Road.

    However, I would be very surprised that the new people that come on the forums even know about this. It's probably not brought up in school. And if some of the new one They either buy or given a Computer and just shown how to turn on the machine.  So I tend to take a more forgiving attitude and just clue people in then answer the question. I know what its like to be a Newbie.

    Hi Thomas Pickford,

    If you mean copy all the contents of the page 1 to page 2, then select all contents on page 1 then copy and paste it on page 2. You may check this related article for reference.

    If I misunderstood your question, you may post a more detailed description of what you want, so we can verify if it is feasible in the current build of Word 2016 for Mac.

    Thanks,

    Mike
