Create Both Portrait And Landscape Pages on Same Document – MS Word Common Tasks – Text Book

---

Would you ever need to have mixed orientation on same document?

There are times when you need to use tables, pictures, charts or graphs in a Microsoft Word document. These elements may have been created within Word, or imported by copy/paste, or inserted as a file from a different source, such as Excel. These pages may need to use the Landscape page orientation for the best display of their information. Good thing is that, Microsoft Word allows for this type of mixed page orientation within a document.

You can set the page orientation when you are creating document or later on even after the pages are created. Use Page Setup dialog box when you are creating document. You can use Section Breaks to change the page orientation if you’ve already created pages.

Create Portrait and Landscape pages using Page Setup

If you are rotating pages when creating document, you can use Page Setup dialog box alone. To do this:

• When working with portrait pages place the insertion point at the end from where you need the next page as landscape
• Open Page Setup dialog box
• Click on Landscape orientation
• Open ‘Apply to‘ drop down list and choose ‘This point forward‘
• Click OK to close Page Setup dialog box.

• Now, you’ll return to the document. Notice the new page is in Landscape orientation when all the previous page are still Portrait.
• After you create all the pages required in landscape orientation, you can create next page in portrait orientation. Repeat the process to create portrait. DON’T FORGET TO CHANGE Apply toDROP DOWN LIST TO This Point Forward.

Section breaks

Section breaks are the marks that separate different sections of a document. Section breaks hold all the section formatting such as column layout, margins, page orientation, paper size, header/footer etc.

So, if you need different document level format than you are currently working with, you need to change section break. Please see the page about Section Breaks for more information.
