    Generally, you move content around via cut and paste. There is no simple way to "move a page" in Word.

    The simple method is to use Word's Cover Pages which will automatically be at the beginning of the document.

    You could then copy elements from your current page there.

    Insert > Pages > Cover Page

    To actually move content, you need your content structured in a way that Word understands.

    Dear respected Saif Jaleel,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    I’m sorry you’re having a problem but based on your description we can work together to resolve it.

    For the situation you encountered, we deeply understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it.

    As per your description, in Word document, generally we rearrange via click the “View” tab in the ribbon> enable the “Navigation Pane”> “Headings” tab, we drag and drop the headings to rearrange them. However, if your document has no headings and not let you to rearrange pages using headings, use the cut and paste method. Access the cover page you want to move on the page, select all the content and go to the place where you want to paste the content (e.g., the front of the document) and paste as “Keep Source Formatting” to paste the content.

    Meanwhile, if you don’t mind and if it is convenient for you, could you please send copy of your document file to me so that I can look from my side, and I will check this behavior and help you to fix and verify the result with you.

    If there is confidential information, then you can send it to me in Private Message (PM). you can access PM from the top right corner of this page, as shown in image below:
