How to make several pages landscape in Word

That is, friends, you understand that we will not expand the entire document into landscape format, but only its individual pages. Those of you who carefully read the “Cribs” about page numbering and headers and footers, by analogy with the material given there, may decide that we will again begin to divide the document into technical sections. And they will be wrong! Hurray, hurray! In this case, Word will do it for us. So it's boring preparatory work There is no need to separate selected pages into separate sections.

So what needs to be done? Everything is very simple this time. In order to make only a few pages landscape in Word 2016, we take 7 simple steps:

1. select the text intended for landscape pages;

It is well known that Word can have both book and landscape sheets. That is, there is a portrait or landscape orientation of document pages. Portrait orientation is usually in A4 size. But what if this size is not enough? This may happen if you need to insert a long table, long graph or image, large size. In this case, knowledge of that will be useful, since album sheet much wider than the usual format. In order to select or change the sheet orientation on the toolbar, go to the “page layout” tab. Next, immediately in the page parameters section we find “orientation”. Choose portrait or landscape. That’s it, the sheets of the entire document will take the desired orientation.

Select landscape orientation

But sometimes the question arises, how to make only one landscape sheet? Or maybe you need to make some landscape sheets and some book sheets. What should I do?

Lesson - how to make only one landscape sheet.

First, place the cursor at the beginning of the page that will be landscape and click it. Then we follow the same path: “page layout” tab, “orientation”. But now let’s pay attention in this same “page options” section to the small button at the bottom right. Moving the cursor over it, we will see the “Page Options” dialog box, go into it. There are three tabs here, we need the first “field”, we stay in it. Select landscape orientation and this will be reflected in the sample, then select “apply to the end of the document.” If you select “apply to the entire document”, then again all sheets will become landscape. If you only need one landscape sheet, you need to select “to the end of the document.”

We see that starting from this sheet, all sheets have become landscape. Next, we leave this sheet in landscape orientation. Click the next sheet, from which the portrait orientation should again go, with the cursor at the beginning of the sheet. We go along the same path again, only now we change the landscape orientation to portrait. We are left with one landscape sheet in the middle of the document.

Here in the “page options” you can select fields for the landscape page.

Basically that's all there is to it how to make a landscape sheet in Word.

In Microsoft Word, as in many other programs, there are two types of sheet orientation - portrait (set by default) and landscape, which can be set in the settings. Which type of orientation you may need in the first place depends on the job you are doing.

Often, work with documents is carried out in a vertical orientation, but sometimes the sheet needs to be rotated. Below we will talk about how to make a page horizontal in Word.

Note: Changing the page orientation also entails changing the collection of finished pages and covers.

Important: The instructions below apply to all versions of the Microsoft product. Using it, you can make a landscape page in Word 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013. We use as an example latest version— Microsoft Office 2016. The steps described below may differ visually, the names of items and sections of the program may also be slightly different, but their semantic content is identical in all cases.

1. Having opened the document in which you want to change the page orientation, go to the tab "Layout" or "Page Layout" in older versions of Word.

2. In the first group ( "Page Options") on the toolbar, find the item "Orientation" and expand it.

3. In a small menu that will appear in front of you, you can select the orientation. Click "Landscape".

4. The page or pages, depending on how many of them you have in the document, will change its orientation from vertical (portrait) to horizontal (landscape).

How to combine landscape and portrait orientation in one document

Sometimes it happens that in one text document it is necessary to arrange both vertical and horizontal pages. Combining the two types of sheet orientation is not as difficult as it might seem.

1. Select the page(s) or paragraph (piece of text) whose orientation you want to change.

Note: If you need to make landscape (or portrait) orientation for a portion of text on a portrait (or landscape) page, the selected piece of text will be placed on a separate page, and the text that is located next to it (before and/or after) will be placed on surrounding pages .

2. In masonry "Layout", chapter "Page Options" click on the button "Fields".

3. Select "Custom Fields".

4. In the window that opens, in the tab "Fields" Select the document orientation you require (landscape).

5. Below, at point "Apply" from the drop down menu select "To selected text" and press "OK".

6. As you can see, the two adjacent pages have different orientations - one is horizontal, the other is vertical.

Note: A section break will automatically be added before a piece of text whose orientation you changed. If the document is already divided into sections, you can click anywhere in the required section, or select several, after which you can change the orientation of only the sections you have selected.

That's all, now you know how to flip a sheet horizontally in Word 2007, 2010 or 2016, as well as in any other versions of this product, or, to put it correctly, make landscape orientation instead of portrait or next to it. Now you know a little more, we wish you productive work and effective learning.

When creating multi-page documents in the Word text editor, a number of users may be faced with the need to present a number of document pages in portrait orientation, and another row in landscape orientation (especially if this concerns materials that include various charts, graphs, and so on). In this case, an attempt to change the orientation of the desired page completely changes the orientation of all pages in the document, which is not at all necessary for the user. In this article I will tell you how to make one page portrait and another landscape in Word, and what methods exist for this.

How to make one page portrait and another landscape in Word - methods

If you need to create one portrait page in Word and another landscape page, then I recommend using a number of methods, which I will outline below. At the same time, I note that these methods work with versions of MS Word 2007 and higher, and if someone has older versions of a text editor, then I recommend abandoning the mastodon programs and installing a more modern version of MS Word. So, let's move on to listing the necessary tools.

Method 1. Select the desired text

So how to make landscape orientation on one page in Word? If you have several pages of a document in portrait format, but you want to present some text from that document in landscape format, then follow these steps:

The required text will be transferred to a separate page in landscape format, and you will receive a visual example of how to make one page portrait and another landscape in Word. If you need to reduce the font on your computer, the instructions have been described by me.

Method 2. Page markup

An alternative to the first method is page-by-page markup of the document you need. So, if you were unable to make one page landscape and the other portrait in Word using the first method, then do the following.

Let's say you have five pages of text in book layout, and you need to make the second and fourth sheets in landscape format. Proceed as follows:

Starting from the second page, all pages became landscape.

1. Now we need to make the third page a book page in Word. Place the cursor on the upper left edge of the third page, again enter the page settings, but there select “Landscape” and “To the end of the document”.
2. The third and subsequent pages will become landscape. Now we go again to the fourth page and use the same algorithm to make it book-ready.
3. Then we move to the fifth and make it landscape. I think the essence of the actions is clear to the reader.
4. As a result, we get this result.
