In this article, we will look at two ways at once, how to make one page landscape and the other book in Word.
The instruction is written on the example of Word 2010, but it will also be relevant for Word 2007, 2013 and 2016. And with due skill, the information from the article can be applied in Word 2003.
How to make one page landscape with section breaks
Perhaps the easiest way to make one page landscape and the other portrait is to use section breaks. To do this, you need to separate the page you want to make landscape with two section breaks. One section break should be before this page (at the end of the previous one) and one section break after this page (at the end of the page, which should be landscape).
So let's say you have a text document. And you need to make one of its pages landscape, while the rest of the pages of the document should remain portrait. To do this, position the cursor at the end of the previous page, go to the "Page Layout" tab, click on the "Breaks" button and select the "Next Page" option. After that, place the cursor at the end of the page that you want to make landscape and click "Breaks - Next Page" again. If you have Word 2003, then to insert a break, use the "Insert - Break" menu.
Thus you separate desired page from the rest of the document with two breaks. To make sure the section breaks are in the right places, go to the Home tab and turn on Show All Characters.
You should then be able to see where the section breaks are set. They should be right above landscape page and at its end. If the breaks are placed incorrectly, you can edit the pages so that the breaks fit properly. In the screenshot below, you can see what the break should look like at the end of the page.
After section breaks are set to desired positions, you need to place the cursor on the page that should be landscape, go to the "Page Layout" tab, click on the "Orientation" button and select the "Landscape" option.
If everything was done correctly, then you will get one page landscape, and the rest of the book. If something does not work out, then most likely the problem is in the placement of the gaps.
How to make one page landscape through page options
There is also another way to make one page landscape and the other portrait. It's a little more complicated than the one above, but it can also be used.
In order to use this method, you need to place the cursor on the page that comes before the one that should be landscape. After that, you need to go to the Page Layout tab and use the small button to open the Page Setup window. If you have Word 2003, then in order to open the Page Setup window, use the menu File - Page Setup.
After that, you need to select the orientation "Landscape" and apply this setting "To the end of the document".
After saving the settings using the "Ok" button, all pages below the selected one will switch to landscape orientation. Now you need to place the cursor on the page you want to make landscape and open the Page Setup window again. This time you need to select portrait orientation and apply it to the end of the document.
After saving the settings with the "Ok" button, you will get one page, and landscape orientation, and the rest in portrait.
Sometimes the page orientation has to be adjusted after typing all the text and placing all other objects, such as tables, pictures. Next, we will look at how to make one page landscape in Word and create a document for this purpose, consisting of two sheets.
Make different page orientation in Word using the menu "Orientation" on in masonry "Page layout" won't work because this setting applied to the entire document. We need to go directly to the settings "Page settings" what can be done on the tab "Page layout".
In Word last page making it landscape is much easier, since it will require fewer steps to do so. For example, let's place the cursor on the first sheet and go to "Page settings". In the settings, select landscape orientation and in the column "Apply:" set "to the end of the document", although in this case it is not important, since we start from the first sheet.
After applying this setting, both of our sheets became landscape orientation. Now let's place the cursor at the beginning of the second page and again go to "Page settings".
Now we select the portrait orientation of the page and in the column "Apply:" install "to the end of the document", which will allow us to make the first page in landscape orientation in Word, and the second in portrait orientation.
