Honestly it's embarrassing that the industry standard pretty much best program for document creation can't do something as simple as dragging pages to rearrange them
For technical documents that contain a lot of screen grabs like my work requires I pretty much abandoned Word long ago. Powerpoint is a lot easier. I'm going to convert either to pdf before publishing so it really doesn't matter. Word just seems so 1990s to me.
It blows my mind my how difficult MS WORD is to use. As a graphic designer, I've been using it for designing and creating templates for a client. There are 20 steps for something as simple as adding page numbers. Now, 45 steps to rearrange pages?! Unbelievable. It's 2024, MS needs to get it together. Thank you for the video, its just that MS Word has been driving me crazy!
Hi, have you a video which deals with gaps between tables? I am working on a document and page 1 has a few lines and a small table, but then it goes to page 2 and I can't find a way to bring the content from page 2 to run on from that table🥴
I used a resume template as needed for an assignment, and there were no headers/footers used. If I add them in now, I would have to redo the first half of the entire assignment (the footer chops off most of the text at the bottom as well as runs right through a line of text as well and I don't know how to move it to the bottom) and its due on the 26th of this month. Is there a way to move an entirely blank page to the BOTTOM of the "list" of pages? As textboxes were used so I am unable to simply click the bottom of the last page and add the blank page there. Sadly I'm spending more time trying to figure this out than working on the actual assignment itself and this shouldn't be.
Mine does not look like that after hitting navigation. It is completely different. I do not know how to or see how to get to this. There s nothing that says headings or pages.
It’s sad that if you have multiple pages out of order it would be easier to convert to a pdf, easily arrange all pages in Adobe Acrobat, then convert back to Word format. Thanks Microsoft.
Why is it so freakin hard to do this ?!, everytime i try to get back to Microsoft software i end up covered in a penetrating smell of sh$t, it takes time to learn but Latex is superior in every concibable way.

right like wtf? I expected this to be easy

Especially since layout programs like Adobe Pagemaker and QuarkXpress had this capability 20 years ago.
Agreeee!
quite weird that we have an navigation pane and we cant yet dragging the pages :/
Word is a rock of a program that has never evolved!

Thank you for the video, its just that MS Word has been driving me crazy!
I just realized I needed this after 52 pages written ...
Same here
Me after writing 104 pages-
Wow, this took seconds after watching your video. I'm amazed because I tried so many things and couldn't do it before but thank you!
Extremely helpful. Instructions are clear. Thank you so much!
Why is it when I go 'Insert_Blank Page' it put the new page above the last page?
same
Yess thank you for showing the firts method! No one else showed it on youtube
No problem!!
Thank you very much
Only your method worked
Thank you. You are a project saver. 😅
Thank you so much for finally putting an end to my suffering!!!
One thing you could try is that converting your word file into a pdf then rearrange the pages with any online tool and converting it back to word file
Thanks for this. It just shows how unuserfriendly word can be
Thanks for the tips
It really helped me a lot
first method worked like rihanah thanks
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks!

Did you find out how to do this as I am struggling with the same issue
You can make a temporary heading on each page and just rearrange them.(use the styles tab)
The page numbers went with the moved group of pages and did not update when I updated the table in TOC?
Hi Chester. Great tip! Using Headings is the way to go. Thanks for demonstrating. Thumbs up!!
Great help - thanks!
Awesome 👍 thank you
It works! As usual in your videos. Subscribed. :)
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you! It worked!!
Why we can not just do dragging😣
The fact that I can't figure out something so simple shows Word is poorly designed. Been using it for 30+ years.
Mine does not look like that after hitting navigation. It is completely different. I do not know how to or see how to get to this. There s nothing that says headings or pages.
When I click on a page in the pane like 78, it takes me back to page 1...every time.
Great video but very blurry.
And this is why I work in Mac Pages.
How do you do this on google sheets? I want page 1 to be page 2 without ruining the format of original page 1. Thanks.
Ctrl shift down doesn't target the pictures only the text then when moved the picture disappears completely let alone in the right place.
Thank you Chester.
From the outline view it is also possible to reorder pages (as long as we have applied title styles).
and people still say MS shit is better than Apple's? Word can't do the most simple task of rearranging pages in your document😂
The fact that you cant drag and drop even in 2024 makes me HATE Word more and more each day!😡
youd think after so many years microsoft would be a bit more with the times..
MS word is the most unpredictable software. I just hate this software

Great tips
MICROSOFT, IT'S 2023. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
That's crazy!!! I'm looking for a tutorial in my 2013 version and I found out from your comment that 2023 is still no better😬
Why is it so freakin hard to do this ?!, everytime i try to get back to Microsoft software i end up covered in a penetrating smell of sh$t, it takes time to learn but Latex is superior in every concibable way.
Not being able to rearrange pages by dragging and dropping is ridiculous. Typical lack of customer obsession by Microsoft.
Ridiculous you have to go through all this work to move a page around. Get better Microsoft!
Microsoft suck
just comes to show how frustrating working in microsoft word and formatting documents is 🥹 thanks for the video
