Default replace page 2 with another document


I have a 2 page document and wish to eliminate the contents of page 2 and replace with another document. How in the heck do you do that?

Select the content you want to delete, press Delete, insert the new content.

It may be best to put a sectionh break between the pages first.

deleting what you don't want
  1. Put the cursor at the start of what you want to delete
  2. Press F8
  3. Click at the end of what you want to delete
    You have now selected a block of text
  4. Press Delete
inserting content from another file
  1. Put the cursor where you want to start the insertion
  2. On the Insert tab, select Object > Text from file
    This opens the Insert file dialog
  3. Select the file you want to insert, then click on Insert
If the styles and formatting on the document you insert don't match the document you started from, you'll need to tidy them up. Everyone using Word needs to know about styles.
copy/paste special
An alternative to Insert > Object, if you're only inserting a page or two of text, is to use the click, F8, click technique to select the block of text you want to copy. Go back to the document you started with and paste the copied text in.
If the styles and formatting of the text you paste in don't match the document you started from, you'll need to tidy them up – using Paste special can help reduce the mess. Everyone using Word needs to know about styles.

You say you want more details, so I hope engine's explanation helps, but essentially it is as I said...select what you want to delete, delete it, and insert your new content.

You can use F8, OR you can use the mouse to select the content you want to delete (and delete it).

You insert new content by using Insert or a CopyPaste.

Other than that, you may have to GIVE more details.

As engine states you may need to clean up styles.
