To duplicate a page in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
- Select the content of the page you want to duplicate
- Click and drag your cursor over all the text, images, and elements on the page.
- Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + A to select all content on the page if it’s the only content or carefully select the desired portion
- Copy the selected content
- Press Ctrl + C on your keyboard, or right-click the selection and choose Copy
- Insert a new blank page where you want the duplicate to appear
- Place your cursor at the location in the document where you want the duplicated page.
- You can insert a blank page by going to Insert > Blank Page or by pressing Ctrl + Enter to create a page break
- Paste the copied content onto the new page
- Press Ctrl + V or right-click and select Paste to insert the copied content onto the new page.
- The formatting, including headers, footers, fonts, and styles, will be preserved
- Review and adjust formatting if necessary
- Sometimes minor adjustments may be needed to ensure the duplicated page matches the original exactly
Additional tips:
- To see hidden formatting marks (like paragraph marks and spaces) which can help ensure you copy everything accurately, enable the "Show/Hide ¶" button in the Home tab under the Paragraph section before copying
- You can duplicate multiple pages by selecting and copying content from several pages at once, then pasting them where needed
This manual method is the standard way to duplicate pages in Word, as Word does not have a built-in "duplicate page" button
. In summary, duplicating a page in Word involves selecting the page content, copying it, inserting a new page, and pasting the content there
