It’s a walk in the park converting an entire document to landscape format. However, when it comes to making a one page landscape in Word, it’s a different story altogether. It’s not that straightforward, but thankfully, you can accomplish it in a few steps.
In this guide, we demonstrate how you can pull off making a single page in landscape orientation as the other pages remain in portrait layout. The steps will work on Word 2013 and later versions.
Steps to Make One Page Landscape in Word
Without much further ado, let’s dive in:
Step 1: Open a Word document and navigate to the end of a page, right before the page you transform into a landscape layout. For instance, if you want page 11 to appear in Landscape, place your mouse cursor at the end of page 10.
Step 2: Next, click on ‘Layout‘ then click on ‘Breaks‘
Step 3: On the pull-down menu that appears, select ‘Next Page‘ right under ‘Section Breaks‘
Step 4: At this point, you should see Paragraph marks being displayed on the document. If they are missing, click on the ‘Home‘ tab on the MS Word ribbon and select the Show/Hide Paragraph marks button.
You should see the section break marks as shown:
Step 5: For you to make a one page landscape on the next page, place the mouse pointer at the beginning on the Section break on the next page as shown:
Step 6: At this point, all you need to do is click the ‘Layout‘ tab and select ‘Landscape’ option.
This will transform the next page into landscape layout as shown:
Step 7: The only thing remaining at this point, is to copy and paste your content on the landscape page. Remember to place your cursor at the beginning of the section break on the next page or between the 2 section breaks before pasting on the next page.
And this concludes the topic of how you can transform a single page on Word in landscape format. Your feedback is welcome.
