reverse order of pages

[DaveC426913]

Now that I've got my "come & go" doc, I want to streamline the process.

Is there a painless way of reversing the order of a significant number of pages?
i.e.
6 > 10
7 > 9
8 > 8
9 > 7
10 > 6

Using the thumbnails tool I can do this one at a time, but it's really easy to lose my place in a doc with 20 or more pages.

Thanks.

It probably would have been better to have continued this from your previous thread, as a lot of people wouldn't understand your question if they hadn't read the earlier one.

But that said, I don't think there is an easy way to do what you want other than manually. I can see how it could get very confusing once you had started the process. I think what I would do would be to write down on paper the sequence of steps required then check them off as you do them.

"...better to have continued this from your previous thread..."

Or not made any reference to it at all so the Q&A stands alone.


"...write down on paper the sequence of steps required..."

Yeah, the difficulty comes because the steps change as you work. "Page 13 moves to p24... So page 14 is now page 13."

Thanks. I'll go by my default philosophy: Never trust a computer to do something you can do yourself.

What you COULD do is to temporarily put a page number on each page of the original document in HUGE font size. Then it will be easy to see what's what, and where you are up to (referring to your set of written instructions) even though the auto page numbers will keep changing. Delete 'em all when you have finished.
