When creating Word documents, there are two options for page layout: landscape or portrait. The default is portrait mode. However, if you want to use side text, you can switch to landscape mode instead.

If you want to use both types of layouts in Word, there are several workarounds you can use using Word section breaks and page formatting options. Here’s how.

Clear instructions on how to create individual pages in your Microsoft Word 2019 or 2016 document landscape. Just follow these steps.

  • Place your cursor at the very beginning of the page you want to turn into landscape orientation. (In our example, we are working with page 2)
  • Select Page Setup or Page Setup> Breaks> Next Page to create a section.
  • Click the Layout tab and choose Orientation> Landscape.
  • This effectively marks all pages as landscape after the break you took in step 2. In our example, pages 2, 3, 4 and above are in landscape format. Since page 2 should only be displayed in landscape format, all previous pages must be converted back to portrait format.
  • Place your cursor at the beginning of the next page (page 3 in our example) or on the next page where you want to stay in portrait orientation.
  • As in step 2, choose Layout> Breaks> Next Page to create another section.
  • Click the Layout tab, then choose Orientation> Portrait. The rest of the document will be displayed in portrait orientation.

That’s all we can say about it! You have successfully created a one-page landscape in Microsoft Word 2016 and 2013.

In short, if you try to change orientation without page breaks, the entire document will be put into landscape mode. To style the selected pages in landscape format, you must insert section breaks appropriately.

If you have two section breaks, you can simply set one section break as landscape and the other as portrait (default). Hope this helped you with your work!
