Yes, you need a section break where the orientation changes.
If you intend to print to pdf or print double sided, there is a small
gotcha. Google this group or ask again if it matters.

Hi Stuart,

Two section breaks, probably, one before and one after where you want
landscape. Insert | Break | Section Break (Next Page). Then, *with the
cursor in the landscape-to-be section,* File | Page Setup should only change
that section.

If you go to Page Setup through Format | Document, be sure to set the Apply
to: to "this section".

Note: But if the doc ends after the landscape section, there is already an
invisible section break at the end of every doc, so you wouldn't need that
second one.

If that still doesn't work, specify Word and OS version, in case it matters.

Create one page give it appropriate orientation in Page Setup.

Imediately click on Section Break.

Next go to page setup and click on appropriate page orientation.
Create new page.

Save document.

Now print Document.


You won't be able to convert to PDF as Reader/Acrobat can't figure out
how to read section and Page breaks and will print them as separate
documents which you'll have to use Acrobat Pro (Stay away from Standrad
just a Play toy) to merge back together.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!

Hi Stuart,

You'll need to insert a section break *each time* you want the orientation
to change from vertical to landscape or from landscape to vertical. And
you'll also have to go to Page Setup and change the orientation
appropriately each time.

Just clarifying on the PDF issue....

You can convert to PDF using Print to PDF, but it is likely to create a few
different documents if there are orientation changes in the doc. I haven't
tested it, but my guess is expensive Acrobat *does* know how to deal with
section breaks, but the free OS X Print to PDF doesn't. Or it may be Word's
fault, don't know.

Regardless, you can google for a utility (I think free or donation)
CombinePDFs to stitch the pdfs back together, rather than requiring Acrobat
Pro.
