In Microsoft Word, you can have both portrait and landscape page orientations in the same document. This is particularly useful if you have content that fits better in a landscape layout, like wide tables or charts, while the rest of your document uses the standard portrait orientation. Here’s how you can set this up:
1. **Open your Word document**: Start by opening the document where you want to apply mixed orientations.
2. **Place the cursor**: Navigate to the point in your document where you want the orientation to change. This is typically at the start of a new page.
3. **Insert a Section Break**:
Go to the *Layout* tab in the ribbon.
Click on **Breaks**.
Under **Section Breaks**, choose **Next Page**. This action creates a new section starting from where your cursor is located, allowing you to apply different formatting—including orientation—to this section without affecting the rest of the document.
4. **Change the Orientation**:
With your cursor in the new section where you want to change the orientation, go back to the *Layout* tab.
Click on **Orientation**.
Select *Landscape* or *Portrait* depending on your need. The orientation will apply only to the current section thanks to the section break.
5. **Adjusting Additional Sections**:
If you want to switch back to the original orientation or change orientations again later in the document, repeat the process of adding section breaks and changing the orientation in each new section.
This method ensures that each section of your document can have a unique page orientation, and you can have as many changes as needed throughout your document.
