Changing page order?

I read in a few posts that you can just drag the page to change the order under "view thumbnails". It's not working for me. I'm not exactly sure what I am doing wrong... Can anyone help me out with how to move a page in a different place?

You are not doing nothing wrong. This function is not available in Pages 5.1 You do can in the old Pages 9.
Maybe trying to open it in Pages 9 but I think it not possible, or you can workaround it by reconstructing the document; copy pasting the old documents on a page by page step at a new document. But if your document has too many pages it will be a nightmare then.

How do I change page order on a document created in Pages 5.1?

After reading some of the posts about the lack of ability to change page order in Pages 5.1, I decided to re-install Pages 09 from the DVD that came with my computer because some posts said it was a better program. After inserting the disc and responding to all the prompts it seemed to download everything but I can't find Pages 09, I only seem to have 5.1.
I will take a solution to either problem, but all I really want to do is change the order of 2 pages on a 9 page document created using 5.1.

It is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Make sure you update it to the latest v4.3:

How to change page order in Acrobat Porfolio?

How to change page order in Acrobat Porfolio? In older versions it use to be much easier to drag and drop the page order. I don't see any menu options on arranging the pag order. Any ideas? Thanks.
I would post a screenshot but they have been disabled on these forums.

You should ask in the Reader forum. But my guess is that Reader there is nothing you can do. Acrobat allows you to move pages around, but not Reader.

Changing page order within a file

Just suscribed to PDF Pack, can I change page order within a file? TIA

Hi realestateguy,
If you're using the Combine Files functionality in PDF Pack to combine multiple files into a single PDF, you can determine which order the files appear in the PDF. (Just select the files to combine, and then drag them into the order you want them to appear in the PDF.) However, if you're creating a single PDF, you need Acrobat to reorder the pages.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Sara

How to change page order in a PDF file?

Hi, how can I change the page order in my PDF file? I had read that it is possible but my editing options are showed gray and also my security settings cannot be edited.
Do I need a special software? I have Acrobat Reader, and my document was exported from Illustrator as a PDF.

How do you change page order in new Pages???

Old pages was nice and simple in this regard - highlight a page and move it up or down the thumbnail viewer to change the page order.
Now it doesn't do that.
AGH!!
Or am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything. It's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu.
If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.
If you want to do this in Pages 5 you'll have to select all of the content you want to move, cut & then paste into the new locations.

Change page order in a combined document

I have been attempting to create a combined document with the pages in a specific order.
The pages are in the list in the proper order and then when it combines they are out of order.
Can I change the order of documents in a combined file?

You should be able to do this in Acrobat X and Acrobat XI by simply going to File>Create>Combine Files into a Single PDF, and adjust the order of the files with the tools at the lower left portion of the Combine window. Is this not working for you?

Change page order inside a section

I am putting together a membership directory, with one page devoted to each member. I thought I could easily change the page order (to make them alphabetical) after I completed each page by shifting the thumbnails. Wrong. Looks like you can only shift sections but not the pages inside of a section. Fortunately, I only have 7 to change around instead of the 70 I will eventually have. Any ideas?

Hadn't thought of that. Did think to just cut and paste each page into the correct order. Perhaps the "section breaks" strategy would be easier...... I will have to delete them afterwards because I am also creating an automatic table of contents.

How do I change page order

I have a six page document. I want to change the position of the pages for printing. I am unable to make page or section breaks. Three of my pages are all linked with that awful yellow line around all three and am unable to move any of those pages around within that three yellow line of pages.
I think the reason is that my pages are mostly pictures, not text, and so if I click on the picture at the bottom of a page and go up to insert, I am unable to insert either a section break or a page break. How do I get aroud this?

You do need a section break to separate the pages, but don't click on the picture, click on the page body. It's easier to see where you want to place your cursor if you go to View > Show Invisibles. It's not always easy to see where the cursor is with pictures, though. Try inserting some paragraph returns to see better. You can always delete them later.

Change page order in pages

I have a document in Page Thumb Nails veiw.
I want to be able to 'select' a page and move it to a different place in the sequence of pages.
When I try and highlight the individual page, Pages selects all the pages.
Can I / how do I select only one page then move it?
Thanks is advance
David

David,
Clicking on a page in the Thumbnails pane wlll take you to that page in the document. Click at the top of that page's content, and Shift-Click at the bottom. Command-X to move the content to the Clipboard. Click on the thumbnail just above where you want to reposition the text. Click at the bottom of that page and Command-V.
Now your content should be in the new location.
You should practice on a copy to avoid disaster.

Changing pages order (when Pages thinks they are continues)

Hello,
I'm making a Brochure. I have three pages that Pages recognise them as one when I select them. I want to switch position to these pages (like putting the last first etc). Here is a screen-shot if it's not clear:
http://www.convalesco.org/files/sshot.png
I tried doing this by adding page breaks at the end of each page but apparently didn't work. This probably happens because I created each page using "enter" and not "new page", but now I don't know how to go through that.
If anyone knows a tip please share
regards

I used to be able to change the order of separate pages in thumbnail view, but can no longer do this in the current Pages. How do I do this?
