NB: Please before you try the method below! This is the problem: you need to insert a large table in landscape format into a document that is portrait the rest of the time. You don’t want to make the whole document landscape for the sake of one page, so you need a way of putting one landscape page into a portrait document. This is how you do it. Although the instructions here are for Word for Mac 2008, the over-riding principle is the same in any version of Word – create a section break, then apply the ‘landscape’ instruction to that section only. Instructions for putting one landscape page into a portrait document in Word 1. At the point where you want to create the landscape page, go to Insert>Break>Section Break (Next page). NOTES • If you know that this is going to be the only landscape page in the whole document, you can select ‘from this point forward’ when you change the orientation back to portrait in (6) above • Even though they’re invisible in print-layout view, Section Breaks can be deleted.

For an 8.5″ x 11″ paper size when I click on “Landscape” Word assumes I want an 8.5″ tall page for the booklet. When I click on “Portrait” Word assumes a 4.25″ tall page. Click the 'Page layout' tab in the Office Ribbon, and then choose 'Orientation' from the 'Page setup' area. Select 'Landscape' to change your page orientation. This will close the menu automatically and make the change.

If you’re not careful, you can backspace over the section break and put your landscape page back into portrait, or vice versa. If this happens, scream and press ‘Undo’ (CTRL+Z or ⌘Z) • To avoid deleting section breaks accidentally, put the document temporarily in to outline view ( View>Outline). This will allow you to see where the section breaks are. Once you’ve finished, go back to View>Print layout) Update on 26th January 2016 A recent visitor to this page has pointed out that when she tries to print the resulting document, the page immediately after the landscape page has its margins corrupted, and is shifted 2.5 inches to the right, and bleeds off the page.

I’ve checked this and looked on a number of forums, and sadly, it seems that this may be an intractable problem with Word and page orientation changes. To be honest, I don’t know what the problem is, and I have no idea whether it’s all versions of Word, all tables, all documents or whatever, but be warned. In this particular case, the table had been created with tab stops rather than a table grid, which meant there was a nice workaround. ↓ • Bianca Hey there! Thank you for this tutorial. However, I’m having a problem with this. You see, I have a fully formated paper that uses section breaks to separate different types of page numbers. Ddj sr driver for mac.
