You can move Word pages from one document to another.

Word processing software like Microsoft Word makes it easy to copy an entire document into a new file, and Word will easily highlight an individual word, sentence or paragraph for quick copying as well. But isolating an individual page to copy is a little trickier, especially when there is complex formatting on the page. A few straightforward clicks of the mouse will get the job done, however.
