Indeed it would in these circumstances, and that's the downside of not
constructing chapters.
However casting all that aside... When needs must... This is not ideal,
but when faced with a problem I find solutions.
Granted as Mr P notes, a few additional bells and whistle in this area
would be useful, but we have to play with the tools we have to hand.
I occasionally need to do this kind of operation with a complex page
that's part of a chapter of many pages, or even a document of only one
chapter with many pages.
In a single chapter document, I delete everything before and after the
complex page I'm desperate to copy to another document, then I'm left with
one chapter of one page, then I do the Copy Chapter, Paste Chapter thing.
If it's a multi chapter document, and the chapter from which I'm desperate
to copy is part of many pages, I delete the pages of that chapter before
and after the page I want, then do the Copy Chapter...
The reason I note occasionally... If the page is complex, with many
graphics as well as the text, then this is the easiest way in my
experience to achieve the end.
However if the pages is quite simple, then copying and pasting in bits, to
reconstruct in the new document works just as well.
