Word has no Duplicate Page button. To copy a page, select the content on it, copy that selection, insert a page break or blank page where the copy belongs, and paste. A Word “page” is a result of flowing content, so check the new pagination afterward.
Copy a one-page document
- Open the document and press Ctrl+A on Windows or Command+A on Mac. Use this only when the whole document is one page; Select All otherwise copies every page.
- Copy with Ctrl+C or Command+C.
- Place the cursor where the duplicate should begin. Insert a page break with Ctrl+Enter on Windows, or use Insert > Blank Page.
- Paste with Ctrl+V or Command+V. Check the Paste Options if the formatting changes.
Copy one page from a longer document
Select only the content on that page, from its first character through the last item you want copied. Include tables, captions, and any manual page break that belongs with the content. Then copy and paste into the new location. Microsoft recommends manually selecting the content in a multipage document; Ctrl+A would select the entire document.
If the selection is hard to make, turn on Home > Show/Hide ¶ to see paragraph marks and breaks. Save a copy of a complex document first. After pasting, inspect headers, footers, page numbers, images, and section formatting. A pasted section break can carry layout settings, and added text can push content onto another page.
Keep the original formatting when you paste
A normal paste usually keeps the copied page’s look, but the result can change when the destination uses different styles or a different theme. To control what Word keeps:
- Paste with Ctrl+V (Command+V on a Mac).
- Click the Paste Options button that appears beside the pasted content, or press Ctrl on Windows.
- Choose Keep Source Formatting to keep the copied fonts, colors, and spacing.
Merge Formatting matches the surrounding text instead, and Keep Text Only drops pictures, table structure, and formatting. To change what a plain paste does, go to File > Options > Advanced and adjust Pasting between documents under Cut, copy, and paste.
Margins, orientation, and paper size belong to the section rather than the copied text. If the copy lands in a document with different page settings, adjust them under Layout. Also check floating pictures, which can shift when the text around them reflows.
Copy into a different document
Choose File > New > Blank document, paste the selected content, then save the new file. Use Paste Options to keep source formatting or match the destination’s formatting. To move existing content instead of duplicating it, see our guide to rearranging Word pages.
