Writing an effective business document can sometimes feel like a wrestling match, especially when it comes to moving pages around in Microsoft Word 2010. While Word automatically adds pages as you type, the program really does not see pages, it sees blocks of text. Reordering pages in Word can be done by cutting and pasting the large text blocks of your document and letting the program repaginate the pages as you cut and paste. In Word 2010, there is a new feature called the Navigation Pane which comes closer to dropping and dragging pages, but this only works well if you have added headings to your document.
Use the Navigation Pane
1.Click the “View” tab in the Show group and then click the “Navigation Pane” check box. The Navigation Pane pops up on the left side of your screen.
2.Click the “Browse the Headings” tab in the Navigation pane. It looks like one long page. Your document is broken down into headings in the Navigation pane. If you have not assigned Heading Styles to your document, you will only see the document and subheadings.
3.Click the heading of the section you want to move and drag it to a new location in the pane. Delly ranx the next chapter rar extractor. A black line appears as you are moving through the headings in your document. When you release your mouse, the heading and the information in it drops below the black line to reorder your pages.
Keyboard Cutting and Pasting
1.Open Word and your document with the pages you want to reorder. Scroll to the target page you want to move. Place your cursor at the beginning of the text you wish moved.
2.Press the “Shift-Page Down” keys on your keyboard simultaneously. This selects one screen of information. If you did not get all the text you wanted, continue to hold the Shift key and press the “Down Arrow' key on your keyboard to continue selecting lines.
3.Press “Ctrl-X” to cut your selection and the rest of the document automatically repaginates. Move your cursor to the area where you want the new page to appear and press “Ctrl-V” to paste the cut information. Word automatically moves text and graphics to the right and down to make space for the cut information.
Mouse Cutting and Pasting
1.Open Word and the document to reorder. Scroll to the page you want to move. Hold down the left mouse button and drag down to the right to select a whole page. Release the mouse and the page is highlighted.
2.Click the Home tab and then click “Cut” from the Clipboard group. Your document adjusts to the removal of the information.
3.Scroll to the location in your document for the cut text and click to move your insertion point where you want to place the cut information. Click the Home tab and then “Paste” in the Clipboard group to place the cut information back in your document.
Tip
- When you are trying to precisely place your cursor, it helps to turn on 'Show/Hide Formatting Marks.' This shows you hard page breaks and paragraph marks so you can more precisely place your insertion point. To turn on Paragraph marks, click on the Home tab, and then click the “Show/Hide” button in the Paragraph group.
