Copy a page in a one-page document

For short documents of one page or less, the fastest way to copy the page is to Select All and copy.

    Press Ctrl + A on your keyboard to highlight all text in your document.

Tip: You can also highlight your entire document by placing your mouse cursor in the left margin and then quickly clicking the left mouse button three times in a row.

Note: Keep in mind that this will highlight everything in your document. This method is best used for copying a document that is just one page.

Copy a page in a multiple-page document

  2. Click and drag the cursor to the bottom of the page you want to copy.
  3. Press Ctrl + C on your keyboard.

Tip: Another way to copy your highlighted text is to click Home > Copy.

Insert the copied text into another page

After you copy the contents of the page, you can paste it into another page of your document or into a new document that you create.
