Pages: how do I rearrange pages in Pages 10.0

Hi,

Say I have a 5 page document with each page showing a letter: A, B, C, D, E.

I want to re-order the document by putting D between B and C.

If I select page D in thumbnails I am, in fact, selecting ALL 5 pages!

Is there no way to reorder pages in Pages or must I use a workaround?

thanks, SD

You simply cannot drag thumbnails around to re-arrange a Pages document in Word Processing mode, but you can in Page Layout mode.

From Pages View menu, show invisibles.
Click on Page D, and you will see that letter, and a horizontal line that represents the page break between it and page E.
1. Click to select the page break symbol, then press the shift key, and click the D character. Press ⌘+X to cut that page content.
2. Click the C thumbnail, place your insertion point immediately before the letter C, and ⌘+V.

You should find Page D now inserted between Pages B and C.
