What is how to duplicate a page in word?

Here's how to duplicate a page in Microsoft Word:

Duplicating a page in Word can be achieved in a few ways, depending on what you need to copy and where you want to place the duplicate.

  • Using Copy and Paste: This is the simplest method for duplicating the content of a page.

    1. Select all the content on the page you want to duplicate. You can use Ctrl + A (or Cmd + A on Mac) if the entire document needs to be selected or manually select the text, images, and other elements of the specific page.
    2. Copy the selected content using Ctrl + C (or Cmd + C on Mac) or right-click and choose "Copy".
    3. Move your cursor to where you want the duplicate page to appear. Ensure you create a page%20break before pasting if you want a clean new page.
    4. Paste the copied content using Ctrl + V (or Cmd + V on Mac) or right-click and choose "Paste".
  • Using Section Breaks: If your document uses sections, you can copy an entire section (which may represent a page or multiple pages). This is particularly useful for copying formatted sections.

    1. Go to the beginning of the section you want to duplicate.
    2. Select the entire section. A quick way to do this is to go to Layout > Breaks > Next Page to determine section breaks
    3. Copy (Ctrl + C or Cmd + C) and paste (Ctrl + V or Cmd + V) the selected section to your desired location.
  • Important Considerations:

    • Formatting: When pasting, you might need to adjust the formatting to match the surrounding text or section. Use the "Paste Options" that appear after pasting to choose how the content is pasted (e.g., "Keep Source Formatting," "Merge Formatting," or "Keep Text Only").
    • Headers and Footers: If your page has specific headers%20and%20footers, make sure they are correctly duplicated or adjusted as needed. Sections are useful to manage these.
    • Tables and Images: When copying tables or images, ensure they are properly aligned and formatted after pasting. Check for any broken links or incorrect sizing.
    • Large Documents: For very large documents, copying and pasting might take a while. Consider breaking the document into smaller sections if performance is an issue.
