How to Landscape One Page in Word

Hi everyone, Kevin here. Today, we’re going to learn how to change one page in Microsoft Word from portrait to landscape orientation. Let’s check out how to do this. Here I am in Microsoft Word, and I want to change page number two or my table of contents to be landscape. Up on the top tabs, let’s click on the option that says layout, and over on the left-hand side within the page setup category, you’ll see an option for orientation. Let’s click on that. Currently, it’s set to portrait, and let’s change it to landscape. When I do that, it changes all the different pages in my document to landscape, but I just wanted to change page number two. So, let’s go back to orientation and select portrait. To change just page number two, let’s highlight all the content on this page. And again, let’s go to the layout tab. And within the page setup category, you’ll see this icon in the bottom right-hand corner for additional options. Let’s click on that. This opens up the page setup dialog, and right here in the center, we can choose the orientation. I’ll set it to landscape. Down at the very bottom, here you’ll see a dropdown list that asks us what we would like to apply this change to. By default, it’s set to the whole document, but I don’t want to change the entire document to landscape, so let’s click on this, and here we have the option for selected text. I’ll click on that and then click on okay. And look at that. My page has now changed to landscape orientation. That’s exactly what I wanted. If you want to change it back to portrait, up on top with this page selected, click on layout, then orientation, and here you can change it to portrait, and I can also change it back to landscape. You can also use this same exact technique if you’d like to change a number of different pages to landscape. I’ll scroll towards the end of my document, and let’s say that I want to change the last four pages to landscape. I’ll place my cursor right here. I want every page from this point forward to be in landscape. Again, let’s go up to the layout tab and then click on page setup options. Here, I’ll change the orientation to landscape, and down at the very bottom in that dropdown list, here, I have a few different options. I’ll set it to this point forward, then click on okay, and here you’ll see that all of those last four pages have changed to landscape. And again, like we did earlier, if I want to change this back to portrait, within layout over on the left-hand side, let’s click on orientation, change it back to portrait, and now it’s back to what it looked like originally. You might be wondering how this works. If I go to the very top of the document, Microsoft Word has broken this document up into separate sections. The cover page is one section. The table of contents is a second section, and then on page three, that starts yet another section. Up on the top tabs, let’s click on home, and right here in the center in paragraph, we can turn on all of the hidden formatting options. And right here, we can see that Word has inserted a section break, and then this is a section, and then another section break. That marks the beginning and the end of a section. Now, we can also insert these section breaks manually, and then we can also adjust the page orientation. I’ll scroll down just a little bit, and let’s say that I want to turn this paragraph into landscape mode. So, let’s use section breaks to do it. I’ll place my cursor right here. Up on top, let’s click on the layout tab, and here we have the option for breaks. I’ll click on this, and right here, let’s insert what’s called a next page section break. I’ll insert that, and here we see that formatting that shows us that there’s a section break here. At the end of this paragraph, let’s go back to layout and breaks, and let’s insert another section break. This paragraph is now within its own section. This is a section here, this is the end of that section, here’s a new section, and then we have another section down here. Now, with this section, we can adjust the orientation. With my cursor in here, up on the layout tab, over on the left-hand side, let’s click on orientation, select landscape, and now it’s just changed this page to landscape. So far, we’ve just looked at how to adjust the orientation of a page using sections, but sections are so powerful. You can use them to adjust the formatting for just specific parts of your document. You could adjust things like the margins, the columns, the headers, the footers, and even the page numbers. All right, well, that was a quick look at how you can use sections to change the orientation of parts of your document.
