Controlling Page Settings

Word gives you control of the layout of the pages in a document. You can change
the page size, margins, and orientation by clicking the buttons in the Page Setup
group on the Page Layout tab. All pages of a document have the same margins and
are oriented the same way unless you divide the document into sections. Then each
section can have independent margin and orientation settings.

To change Page Orientation:

1. Select the Page Layout tab.

2. Click the Orientation command in the Page Setup group.

3. Click either Portrait or Landscape to change the page orientation.

Note:
Landscape format means that the page is oriented horizontally,
and portrait format is oriented vertically.
