Is there a page in your Word document that you need to replicate? Whether you want to add a duplicate page to the same document or a new one, making an exact copy of a page in your Word document is super easy. You can even create multiple duplicates automatically by creating a simple Word macro. This wikiHow guide will teach you how to duplicate any page in your Word document, including pages with headers and footers.

How to Duplicate a Page in Microsoft Word

  • If the page you want to duplicate doesn't have a header or footer, you can copy the page's contents and paste it into a new page.
  • If you want to duplicate a page with a header or footer, you'll have to insert a continuous line break before copying.
  • If you want to duplicate multiple pages or a single page multiple times, you can create a simple Word macro.

Steps

Method 1 Method 1 of 4:

Duplicate a Page in the Same Document

  1. Step 1 Highlight the content you want to copy. 1 Highlight the content you want to copy. To duplicate everything on the current page, drag your mouse cursor from the beginning of the page to the end.[1]
    • If your Word document only contains one page, you can press Ctrl + A (PC) or Cmd + A (Mac) to instantly select all of the content in the entire document.
    • If you want to duplicate multiple consecutive pages, highlight the content on all the pages. They'll all duplicate in order using this method.
    • Does the page you want to copy have a unique header and/or footer that only appears on that page? If you also want to duplicate the header and/or footer, use this method instead.
  2. Step 2 Press Ctrl+C (PC) or ⌘ Cmd+C (Mac). 2 Press Ctrl+C (PC) or ⌘ Cmd+C (Mac). This copies the selection to your clipboard. Advertisement

    • Click the mouse cursor at the end of the page before the place you want to insert the new page. For example, if you want the duplicate page to appear on page 3, click the mouse cursor after the final character on page 2.
    • Click the Insert tab.

    • If you want to keep the original formatting of the duplicated page, including tables and special fonts, press Ctrl+V (PC) or ⌘ Cmd+V (Mac).
    • If you want the copied content to inherit the standard formatting of the new page (for example—if the original content contains special fonts and characters and you'd rather use your document's normal formatting on the duplicate page), right-click or Ctrl + click the new page. Then, on a PC, click the second icon under "Paste options" (the icon with the arrow). On a Mac, click Paste Special..., select Unformatted Text, and then click OK.
