Instructions on how to turn the sheet horizontally in Word

By default, in Microsoft Word, all sheets have a portrait orientation, that is, they are arranged vertically, however, sometimes it becomes necessary to turn them over so that they become landscape view. In this article, we will talk about how to make an album sheet in the 2007 Word release. It will be told how to do these manipulations with all the sheets at the same time and with each individually.

Turn the sheets of the whole document

Before telling you how to turn the sheet horizontally in Word, it is worth saying that the instruction will be common for all versions of the program, and 2007 Word will act as an example. In some versions, the location of some interface elements, their display and name may change, but the principle is common to all.

So, now you will learn how to turn sheets horizontally in Word. Please note that after completing this instruction all sheets in the document will turn over. If you need to flip only one or several, then proceed immediately to the next method.

To flip all the sheets in Word, you need to:

1. In an open program document, navigate to the Page Layout tab (in later versions, this tab is referred to as the Layout).
2. Click the "Orientation" button.
3. In the drop-down list, select the desired orientation: in this case, "Landscape".

As you can see, after completing all the requirements in your document, all pages will change the orientation to landscape. To return everything as it was, you need to do all the points again, only in the last select the orientation "Portrait".

Flip one sheet in a document

You already know how to turn sheets horizontally in Word, but sometimes you need to change the orientation of only one or more sheets. In this case, the previous method is no longer suitable, but you can take advantage of what will be demonstrated now.

So, to change the location of some pages in the Word, follow these instructions:

1. First you need to select the part of the text that you want to move to a sheet with landscape orientation. However, note that after moving it, the text will be on a separate page. If you thought so, then continue.
2. Go to the Page Layout (Layout) page.
3. Click on the "Fields" icon in the "Page Setup" tool group.
4. In the list that appears, select "Custom Fields" located at the very bottom.

6. In the "Apply" drop-down list located at the very bottom of the window, select the "To selected text" line.
