How to Duplicate Pages in a Microsoft Word Document

Plus how to create a macro to do it

Microsoft Word doesn’t have a built-in page duplication feature. To duplicate a page, copy its content and paste it onto a blank page. Alternatively, you can create a custom macro that automatically duplicates your preferred pages.

This tutorial will teach you how to manually duplicate pages in a single-page and multi-pageWord document. We’ll also show you how to create and use a page duplication Macro in Microsoft Word.

Duplicate a Page in a Single-Page Document

If your Word document has one page, here’s how to duplicate its content to a new page.

Alternatively, right-click the selection and selectCopyon the context menu.

Alternatively, head to theHometab and select thePaste icon.

When you paste on the new page, Microsoft Word preserves the formatting of the original/copied content. Select thePaste Optionsicon at the bottom page tochange the formatting of the content you pasted.

Duplicate a Page in a Multi-Page Document

If your document has more than one page, select the page you want to duplicate using your mouse cursor. Afterward, paste the selection onto a blank page in the document.

Say your document has six pages, and you want to duplicate a questionnaire or form template from page two to page five. Place your cursor at the bottom of page four, head to the “Insert” tab, and insert a blank page or page break. Afterward, paste the content of the page you want to duplicate to the blank page.

Duplicate or Copy a Page to a Different Document

You can also copy a page from an existing document to a new Word document.

To duplicate the page onto an existing document, selectOpenon the sidebar and select the document from your file manager.

Duplicate a Page in Word Using Macro

Macros allow you to automate frequently used tasks in Microsoft Office applications—Excel, Powerpoint, Word, etc. Follow the steps below tocreate a Microsoft Word Macrothat duplicates pages in your documents.

Sub Duplicate()

Page = InputBox(“Enter the Page to Duplicate”)

Count = InputBox(“Enter Number of times to duplicate”)

With Selection

.GoTo wdGoToPage, wdGoToAbsolute, Page

.Bookmarks(“Page”).Range.Copy

For i = 1 To Count: .Paste: Next

End With

End Sub

Close the code window and proceed to the next step to duplicate pages using the Macro.

Use a Macro or “Copy and Paste”

We recommend creating a Macro if you often duplicate pages in your Microsoft Word document multiple times. A Macro eliminates the herculean task of manually copying and pasting content using keyboard shortcuts or mouse cursor.

Finally, ensure you review and organize your document after duplicating pages. Move orrearrange pages that are out of placeor in the wrong section before saving or sharing your document.
