How do I copy and insert a page in Word?

Published in Word Document Manipulation 2 mins read

To duplicate the content of a page in Word and place it on a new page, you can follow a manual process involving copying the desired text and then inserting a blank page.

Here are the steps based on a common manual duplication method:

Manual Page Duplication Steps

This method involves selecting and copying the content from the page you wish to duplicate and then inserting a new blank page into your document.

  1. Highlight the Content:

    • Go to the page you want to copy.
    • Click and drag your mouse over the text and any other content (like images or tables) on that page to select it all.
  2. Copy the Selected Content:

    • Once the content is highlighted, copy it. You can do this in two ways:
      • Go to the Home tab on the Word ribbon and click the Copy button.
      • Alternatively, press Ctrl + C on your keyboard (or Cmd + C on a Mac).
  3. Prepare to Insert the New Page:

    • Navigate to the location in your document where you want the copied page's content to appear. A standard method is to select the bottom of the page from which you just copied the content, or click exactly where you want the new page to begin.
  4. Insert a Blank Page:

    • With your cursor positioned, create an empty page.
    • Go to the Insert tab on the Word ribbon.
    • In the Pages group, select Blank Page. This will insert a completely empty page at the cursor's location, pushing subsequent content down.

After inserting the blank page, you would typically paste the copied content onto this new page to complete the duplication process. The steps provided outline the process of copying the original page's content and inserting the necessary blank page.
