While Google Docs doesn’t currently offer a drag-and-drop function for rearranging pages, there’s a handy cut-and-paste method you can use.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Select the Page to Move
- Open your Google Doc.
- Scroll down to the page you want to move.
2. Highlight All Content
- Click and hold your mouse at the bottom of the page.
- Drag your mouse upwards to select all the text, images, and other content on that page.
3. Cut the Content
- Right-click on the highlighted area.
- Choose “Cut” from the menu (or press Ctrl+X on your keyboard). The page will disappear.
4. Insert a New Page (Optional):
- If you want to insert the moved page between two existing pages, navigate to the page where you want it placed.
- Click at the very beginning of the text on that page (top left corner).
- Press Ctrl+Enter (this creates a new page break).
5. Paste the Cut Content
- Click where you want the moved page to appear (usually the top of the new page you created in step 4).
- Right-click and choose “Paste” (or press Ctrl+V on your keyboard). The entire content from the cut page will be inserted there.
6. Delete the Empty Page (Optional):
- If you created a new page in step 4, go back to the original location of the moved page.
- It should be empty now.
- Click anywhere on the empty page.
- Press Backspace or Delete to remove the blank page.
Bonus Tips:
This method preserves formatting, unlike simply copying and pasting text over existing content.
Consider using the “Find and Replace” function (Ctrl+H) to update any page numbers that might be affected by moving content.
By following these steps, you can easily rearrange pages in your Google Doc!
