Microsoft Word Page Orientation Help

[Nottingham89]

Hello,

I have a two page document but I need to change the second page to landscape but keep the first page portrait. I have tried to highlight the text in the second page to see if it would just turn that section but it didn't, it just turns both pages to landscape.

Any help would be appreciated

from memory you need to create a separate section for page 2. You should then be able to set it up as required.

Get your cursor at the top of the page you want to change, then go to file > page setup ....choose landscape, and look for the drop-down box that says 'whole document' and change this to 'from this point forward'

From Word 7 Help
Use portrait and landscape orientation in the same document
1.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.
2.On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Margins.
3.Click Custom Margins.
4.On the Margins tab, click Portrait or Landscape.
5.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.
