How to use different page orientations inside one document
Word
365
Page orientation defines the direction for printing or displaying the document in Word.
Sometimes the page orientation for a particular page has to be different from the rest
of the material. E.g., usually, the whole article, paper, or report is printed in the
Portrait mode, but for a page with the big table, it is more convenient to use
the Landscape mode.
To change the page orientation, follow these steps:
1. Select pages or paragraphs on pages that you want to switch to Portrait or Landscape orientation.
2. On the Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Margins:
3. Click Custom Margins... at the bottom of the list.
4. In the Page Setup dialog box, on the Margins tab:
- Choose Portrait or Landscape orientation,
- In the Apply to list, choose Selected text:
5. Click OK.
Notes:
- Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text that has the
new page orientation. If you write a book or a long report and your document is
already divided into sections, you can click in the section (or select multiple
sections), and then change the orientation only for the sections that you have
chosen.
- To have an option Selected text you need to select a text in your document.
