Word 2007 Practice: How to Make One Page Out of Many Landscape

March 20th, 2008 | by Loren |

In a long Word document you might need to have one or more pages that are a different orientation. Typically, most print documents are created in a portrait orientation. Being able to make one or more pages landscape allows you to insert something like a large table or chart that would be easier to view as landscape.

If you have a longer document to practice on, skip the first steps.

Create a Long Document to Practice On

Type =rand(12,5), then Enter. Then push Ctrl +A (to select everything), and on your Ribbon, in the Home tab, Styles group, click Change Styles, then Style Set, then Word 2007. This should give you two pages of text to practice on. (The Word 2007 Style Set turned on some paragraph spacing, just makes it easier to see the paragraphs.)

Create the Landscape Page

1. Move your cursor to the point where the landscape page will be the next page. If you are using the practice document from the above steps, go to the end of the last full paragraph on the bottom of the first page.



2. In the Page Layout tab, Page Setup group, click the Insert Page and Section Breaks button, then click Next Page in the Section Breaks list.
3. Enter once.
4. Insert another Next Page Section Break, following the steps in Step 2. The landscape page will be between the section breaks.
5. Make sure your cursor is in between the section breaks by turning on the paragraph marks. (Home tab, Paragraph group, ¶)



6. In the Page Layout tab, Page Setup group, click Orientation and choose Landscape.
7. Insert your table or whatever your landscape content is into the page. If it is longer than a page, a new landscape page will be inserted immediately after the one you just made.

More About Section Breaks

• Sections are numbered – the status bar shows the number of the section break where the cursor is. This document would have a Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3. A document with no section breaks would only have a Section: 1.
• To move to a specific section, double-click the Section button on the Status Bar. Under Go to what: click Section, then enter a section number, click Go To to go to the beginning of each section. This can be a quick way to find section breaks.
• To remove section breaks, turn on the paragraph marks, use the arrow keys to move the cursor next to the section break and delete.
