In a long Word document you might need to have one or more pages that are a different orientation. Typically, most print documents
are created in a portrait orientation. Being able to make one or more pages landscape allows you to insert something like a large table
or chart that would be easier to view as landscape.
If you have a longer document to practice on, skip the first steps.
Type =rand(12,5), then Enter. Then push Ctrl +A (to select everything), and on your Ribbon, in the Home tab, Styles group, click
Change Styles, then Style Set, then Word 2007. This should give you two pages of text to practice on. (The Word 2007 Style Set
turned on some paragraph spacing, just makes it easier to see the paragraphs.)
1. Move your cursor to the point where the landscape page will be the next page. If you are using the practice document from the
above steps, go to the end of the last full paragraph on the bottom of the first page.
2. In the Page Layout tab, Page Setup group, click the Insert Page and Section Breaks button, then click Next Page in the Section
Breaks list.
3. Enter once.
4. Insert another Next Page Section Break, following the steps in Step 2. The landscape page will be between the section breaks.
5. Make sure your cursor is in between the section breaks by turning on the paragraph
marks. (Home tab, Paragraph group, ¶)
6. In the Page Layout tab, Page Setup group, click Orientation and choose Landscape.
7. Insert your table or whatever your landscape content is into the page. If it is longer than a
page, a new landscape page will be inserted immediately after the one you just made.
Sections are numbered – the status bar shows the number of the section break where the
cursor is. This document would have a Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3. A document
with no section breaks would only have a Section: 1.
To move to a specific section, double-click the Section button on the Status Bar. Under
Go to what: click Section, then enter a section number, click Go To to go to the
beginning of each section. This can be a quick way to find section breaks.
To remove section breaks, turn on the paragraph marks, use the arrow keys to move the
cursor next to the section break and delete.
