Ever worked on a Word document and thought a specific page would look nice in landscape orientation instead of portrait? Maybe you want to insert a bar graph in your report or artwork into a portfolio.
Don't compromise the visual elements in your document by locking them in portrait orientation. Easily convert those specific pages into landscape in a few easy steps.
Windows/PC:
- Open the document you would like to work on, and highlight/select the text or graphic elements you would like to accommodate onto a landscape page. A good example of what to accommodate is a wide photo or graphic in your document that you feel would display better on a landscape page.
- Go to the Layout menu and click on Margins, then Custom Margins at the bottom of the drop down.
- In the Page Setup window that opens up, find Orientation and click Landscape.
- Then click the drop down box next to Apply to: and click the Selected Text option.
- Click OK to convert the selected text into landscape orientation.
