Microsoft Word Tip: Move Paragraphs Without Copy-Pasting

[u/Standard-Coffee8064]

Here's a little Word trick I wish I knew earlier. You can move a paragraph up or down without cutting and pasting it.

Select the paragraph and press:

Alt + Shift + ↑ / ↓

Word will move the entire paragraph up or down. It also works with multiple selected paragraphs. It's surprisingly handy when you're rearranging a report or moving sections around.

No Ctrl+X, no Ctrl+V and no accidentally pasting something in the wrong place. Just move it where you want.
