    Extending on Daniel's reply:

    Pages do not exist in the structure of a Word document. Out of necessity, the term page is used in a strictly conceptual frame of reference. Microsoft has gone to a great deal of trouble & expense to make it appear otherwise because that's what users want to see.

    What he described will copy the objects [text boxes, images, shapes] displayed on the representative Content 'page' along with their formatting. However, none of the elements that are on the Master Page on which that page is based [Headers, Footers, page numbers, background graphics, etc.] will be included. Master Page content will have to be copied separately & pasted to a Master Page in the other document.

    Regards,

    Bob J.

    • Click on the page in the sidebar (View > Sidebar)
    • Do a Select All (Command A) followed by Copy
    • Click on the page preceding the insertion point
    • Insert a page break (Insert > New page)
    • Paste

    Any pre-existing material on the blank page may need to be deleted.

    Thank you for the very clear response.  I have a guide book for word 2011 and have searched in  Word Help for similar answers to yours, with no luck.  Why is it so hard to find clear explanations of the functionality of Office programs?  Why isn't there a searchable master manual on the Microsoft site that has real program coverage?  It's so frustrating!
