Move or copy one or multiple adjacent pages from one Word document to another
This method guides you to move or copy one or multiple pages from one document to another using the "Object" > "Text from File" feature in Word. Follow these steps:
Note: If the source document contains only one page, or if you want to move or copy all pages of the source document, you can skip directly to Step 3.
- Open the source document from which you want to move or copy pages. Select the pages you want to move or copy, and click "Insert" > "Bookmark".
- In the Bookmark dialog box, type a name in the "Bookmark name" box and click the "Add" button.
- Open the target document where you want to move or copy the pages. Place the cursor where you want to insert the copied pages, and click "Insert" > "Object" > "Text from File".
- In the Insert File dialog box:
- Open the folder containing the source document.
- Select the source document.
- Click the "Range" button.
Note: If the source document contains only one page or you want to copy all pages, simply open the folder containing the source document, select it, and click the "Insert" button to finish the process.
- In the Enter Text dialog box, type the specified bookmark name you added in Step 2 and click the "OK" button.
- Click the "Insert" button in the Insert File dialog box.
At this point, the specified pages from the source document have been successfully moved or copied into the target document.

Move or copy specific pages (adjacent or nonadjacent) from one Word document to another
The above method helps you move or copy one or multiple adjacent pages from one Word document to another. However, there are cases where you may need to move or copy multiple nonadjacent pages, such as Page 2, Page 5, and Page 8, into another document in bulk. The method introduced here helps you move or copy specific pages - whether they are adjacent or nonadjacent - from one Word document to another. With Kutools for Word’s "Select Pages" feature, you can efficiently select the desired pages and copy them in bulk, saving time and effort.
- Open the source document from which you want to copy nonadjacent pages, and click "Kutools" > "Select" > "Pages" > "Select Pages".
- In the Select Pages dialog box that appears:
- Check the "Select pages according to selection" option.
- Select the specified pages you want to copy.
- Click the "OK" button.
- Now, all the selected pages are highlighted. Press Ctrl + C to copy them.
- Open the target document, and press Ctrl + V to paste them. The nonadjacent pages you selected are now copied into the target document.
Move or copy each page of a Word document into separate files
If you want to move or copy each page of a source document into separate new Word documents, the "Split" feature of Kutools for Word can help you complete this task easily with just a few clicks.
- Click "Kutools Plus" > "Split" to enable the "Split" feature.
- In the Split Document dialog, configure the following options:
- Choose "Page" from the "Split by" drop-down list.
- Click the "Browse" button
to select a destination folder for the split documents.
- Enter a keyword as the prefix for the new document names in the "Document Prefix" field. Tip: Clicking the "Refresh" button
can preivew the split document names in the "Preview" box.
- Click "Ok".
Now, each page of the source document has been successfully moved or copied into an individual new Word document, and all the new documents are saved in the specified destination folder.
