How to have only 1 landscape page in a whole portrait doc?
tom[ at ]dslextreme.com (Tom Stephenson) 11/29/2008 9:30:02 AM
Currently I have a multipage Word 2003 doc where all the pages are in portrait mode.

Now I go to say page 7 and want to have exactly this only page in landscape mode.
How do I do this?

If I place for example the cursor on this special page and click the menu
file->page setup->Margins->Orientation->landscape

then after hitting OK ALL pages are in landscape mode.

The page orientation is an attribute of the section. You need to insert a
section break before and after the content that is to be in landscape so that
it makes up its own section.

See:
