Objectives

• Learn how to set the page orientation (portrait or landscape) in Word

Page Orientation

Note that page orientation is a command that applies to an entire section. If you want to have part of your document in portrait orientation and part of your document in landscape orientation, you must have two sections – one section for the part that is in portrait orientation and one section for the part that is in landscape orientation.

To set the page orientation for a section of your document:

· Place the cursor in the section for which you want to change the page orientation.

· Then click on the Page Layout tab.

· In the Page Setup group, click on Orientation.

· Then select Portrait or Landscape.
