Switch page order

Unlike slides in PowerPoint, the concept of a "page" in Word is very fluid
and is influenced by (among other thngs) font size, paper size, margins and
even the selected printer. Word basically just flows the content of the
document together and then breaks the text up into chunks based on the above
criteria. These chunks are then displayed on the screen (and printed) as
separate pages. The only exception to this process is if there are manually
inserted page breaks in the document - and even then content is still a
more-or-less contiguous piece, as is evidenced by what happens when
sufficient content is added before the manual page break.

Accordingly, the process for "switch[ing] the order of the pages" is as
Joanne recommended: cut and paste the content of the second page to position
it before the content of the first page. Unless of course all you want to do
is print the pages in a different order, in which case Dan's advice is best.
However, the ability to do so may be under the control of the printer.
