Moving Page Groups, Sections, and Folders

Unless you're incredibly organized with every section, page, and folder you create, you'll probably need to move some or all of these components to different places. You can move any of these components using similar steps.

Moving Pages

To move a page or a group of pages, use the following steps.

1. Right-click the page tab to display the page's context menu.

2. Move your mouse or Tablet PC pen over the Move Page To selection to display the context menu shown in Figure 9.8.

   Figure 9.8. You can move the page to a different section or folder.

   

3. If the section you need is displayed in the context menu, just click it. If you don't see the section you need, choose Another Section to display Figure 9.9.

   Figure 9.9. You can select any available folder or section.

   

4. Click the destination folder or section and choose either Move or Copy. If you don't see an appropriate section or folder, you can click the Create New Section or Create New Folder buttons to create the destination folder or section.

Choosing Move will actually move the page to the selected destination section. Copy creates a copy of the selected page and moves it to the destination section.

Moving Sections

In addition to moving pages, you can move entire sections. To move a section, right-click the section tab and click Move. The dialog displayed is very similar to Figure 9.9. You can choose from any available section. When you choose a section, the section you're moving is placed immediately after that section. You can also move the section to a different folder or create a new folder.

To move a page group (or just multiple pages), select the pages before you begin the previous steps. To select adjacent pages, click the first page, then hold the Shift key while clicking the last page. To select non-adjacent pages, click the first page, then hold the Ctrl key while clicking the other desired pages.

Moving Pages Within a Section

You might want to rearrange pages within an existing section. To move a page, click the page once to select it. Click it again and hold down the mouse button. The page tab will turn orange and you can drag the page up or down. As you drag the page, a small black triangle appears letting you know where the page will be released.

You can move multiple pages as well. Simply select the first page with your mouse. Hold down the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple pages. Once you've selected the pages you need, drag them up or down to the destination location.

tip

You can actually perform this operation with a single click. Click and hold the mouse while dragging it slightly to the left to simulate pulling the page out of the stack. Continue to hold the mouse button down and move the mouse up or down to relocate your page.
