In TYPO3 version 4.7.2, I tried to change the page the particular news is assigned to, but without success. How can I do it?
Using List module open the page where you have the news records and make sure that Extended view checkbox at the bottom is checked.
After that you'll find a scissors icon for each entry, click it, next choose the target page/folder and find the Paste icon (white page with green down-arrow)
If you need to copy/move more records also check the Show clipboard - and choose Clipboard #1 - #3
