How to Flip the Page Sideways in Microsoft Word

Page orientation makes it possible to flip a page sideways in Microsoft Word.

Page orientation makes it possible to flip a page sideways in Microsoft Word. You'll find two options under the page orientation. One is portrait, the default orientation, which displays pages vertically. The second is landscape, which displays pages horizontally. According to Microsoft Office Online, "When you change the orientation, the galleries of predesigned page and cover page options also change to offer pages that have the orientation that you choose." You can flip all the pages within your document or just specific pages.

Instructions

Flip All Pages Sideways

1. Open the document you want to flip in Word 2007.

2. Select the "Page Layout" tab from the ribbon, then go to the "Page Setup" group.

3. Click "Orientation" and "Landscape" to turn the pages in the document sideways.

Flip Specific Pages Sideways

1. Place the insertion point in the beginning of the page you want to flip.

2. Select the "Page Layout" tab from the ribbon, and go to the "Page Setup" group. Then choose "Breaks" and "Next Page" to create a section break for that page.

3. Add a "Next Page" section break (see previous step) at the end of the page to preserve the orientation on the other pages.

4. Return to the page you want to flip. Then follow Steps 2 and 3 of the previous section to flip the page.
