Recently, I was writing a Word document and I came across an interesting problem! I had about 20 pages in the Word doc, but I needed only one of them to be in Landscape orientation! Even though I’ve been using Word for 10+ years, I never ran into this situation before.
After playing around with page breaks and section breaks for about an hour, I finally figured out how to do it without Googling! Unfortunately, making one page landscape in a Word document is not an intuitive task at all! And if you’re not familiar with section breaks at all, then you would never be able to figure it out. In this article, I’ll go through the steps to make one page out of many landscape as quickly as possible.
Make Page Landscape Step 1: Open the Word document and go to the end of the page right before the page that you want in landscape orientation. For example, if you want page 22 to be landscape, go to the end of page 21. Step 2: Now click on Layout in the ribbon and click on Breaks. Step 3: From the Breaks drop-down menu, go ahead and choose Next Page under Section Breaks.
Step 4: If you don’t have paragraph marks showing, it’ll look like a blank line was entered. To see the section break, click on the Home tab on the ribbon and click on the Show/Hide Paragraph Marks button. Step 5: Now you will see the section break right after the ending paragraph of that page. In order to make one page landscape, you have to insert another section page break in order to get one full page. Go ahead and follow step 3 again.
At this point, you should have a blank page in the middle of two pages of content. Step 6: Now all you have to do is go to Page Layout, click on Orientation and choose Landscape. Now you will notice that only that one page is landscape as shown below. Step 7: All you have to do now is copy the content from the page you want in landscape orientation and paste it between the two sections breaks that we created previously. Only the content between the section breaks will be in landscape mode.
So basically in Word, if you want to apply a style or setting (such as numbering, etc.) to a one page and no other pages, you can use section breaks to “reset” the page defaults. If you have any problems making one page landscape, post a comment and we’ll try to help!
Currently a single Google Document can only be either Landscape or Portrait not both. Changing page orientation is done by selecting File and then Page setup. It is currently recommended to separate the Landscape and Portrait pages into different documents. A good place to get more information that might help is at. Note: An additional option might be to have three files in Google Docs. The Portrait, The Landscape, and Microsoft Word Doc which integrates the two layouts into the correct sequence (this document would be Read Only when viewed in Google Docs).
A Microsoft Word document may allow multiple orientations of the Page Layout, but if it is converted to a Google Document the Page Layout for each page will revert to the first Orientation found in the document. Also, creating multiple Orientations in Word isn't as straight forward as one might want either. For those wanting to do this in Word:.
Select the pages or paragraphs that you want to change to portrait or landscape orientation. NOTE If you select some but not all of the text on a page to change to portrait or landscape orientation, Word places the selected text on its own page, and the surrounding text on separate pages. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Margins. Click Custom Margins. (This is the important part). On the Margins tab, click Portrait or Landscape.
In the Apply to list, click Selected text. NOTE Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text that has the new page orientation. If your document is already divided into sections, you can click in a section (or select multiple sections), and then change the orientation for only the sections that you select.
