Placing pages from one document to another

[rongittings]

Hi, Is it possible to place a single page from an existing Publisher document into a new Publisher document with out having to retype it all again?

Hi @rongittings,

You do have the option of Document > Add Pages from File... which should hopefully give you what you need, though bear in mind any differences in formatting and text styles between the two documents, which you do have an element of control over...

Perhaps test on a copy of your document first to make sure it works as expected for you...

For a single page maybe try the Place command & then from the Context toolbar select which page you want? Could be a challenge if there are lots of pages but if there are only a few it might be easy enough to consider....

Alternatively to the mentioned "Add Pages From File…" and "Place" option also Copy/Paste can work: Create a new page in the target document, copy all layers in the Layers Panel of the wanted page and paste them on the new page.

If the wanted page contains text frames with text flow to text frames on other pages and you want to get editable objects then none of the options will work but result in a linked text frame containing the entire story text, starting with its first paragraph in the new page. In this case you would need to select the wanted text with the Text Tool and copy/paste it to the target.
