Add, delete, and rearrange pages

You add, delete, and rearrange pages differently depending on whether your document is a page layout document or a word-processing document (for example, a letter or report).

Add a page

  • In a page layout document: Click Insert in the toolbar, then choose Page.

    The new page appears at the end of the document.

Delete a page

  • In a page layout document: Click View in the toolbar, choose Show Page Thumbnails, select the page thumbnail, then press Delete.

  • In a word-processing document: Select the text and objects you want to delete, then press Delete until the page is cleared. You can also delete a section by selecting it in the thumbnail view, then pressing Delete.

Rearrange pages or sections

  • Click View in the toolbar, choose Show Page Thumbnails, select the page or section thumbnail, then drag it to where you want it in the page hierarchy.

    You can drag an individual page in a word-processing document if the page is its own section.
