moving one page to landscape fails - why?

[Tom Miskiewicz]

Hello!

I need to have one of the pages in landscape. After trying to change the
page setup of the marked text to landscape I inserted one empty page and
tried to do it with that one, but still I get the whole document, starting
from this page, turned into lansdscape. Why???


Regards
Tom

You need to have section breaks before and after the page you want
landscaped. See:

And look up "Can I have portrait and landscape pages in the same document?"
in Word Help.

You need to put in a section break before and after the
landscape page. That way, you can change your margins
without affecting the rest of the document.

Good stuff! Thank you!

To change orientation, you need to put a Section Break, Next Page
immediately before and after the page to be landscaped.

Hi Tom
If you have a document in portrait and you need a couple
of pages within that document landscape you have to insert
section breaks before and after the page you want
landscape. e.g at the end of the last portrait page
click "insert" "break" "next page". Then do the same at
the end of the page you want landscape.
Then "file" "page setup" and change to landscape.... make
sure you cursor is on the page you want to change from
portrait to landscape. Ensure that in the page setup you
click "this section only" so that you don't change the
whole document.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
