How can I swap pages around in Word if they're in the wrong order?

Anonymous

I have made a document on Microsoft word including tables. For some reason when I have pasted the table it has moved the order of the pages, how can I change the order of the pages?

Word doesn't really "think" in terms of pages, and the program doesn't let you move pages in a simple way. Cut and paste is your best shot.

Hello Bentley,

Thank you for posting your question in our community, I will suggest you just use the regular cut and paste stated below:

Place your cursor at the very beginning of the text on the page you want to move.

Hold your Shift key and press the Page Down (Pg Dn) key. This will grab a screen's worth of text.

If you need to select more, continue holding Shift and press Page Down again. You can do this until you have it all.

Press Control (Ctrl) + X to cut the text you selected.

Move your cursor to the spot where you want the page moved to and press Control (Ctrl) + V to move the page
