The Microsoft Word program is one of the most popular text editors at the moment. In view of this, it would be foolish to have no function in it such as changing the sheet orientation.
Everyone is accustomed to working with the portrait orientation (the sheet is arranged vertically), but the landscape (the sheet is arranged horizontally) is used less often, however, since it may be needed, this article will discuss how to turn the sheet horizontally in Word.
Foreword
Before you turn a sheet in Word, you should talk a little about the nuances you need to know before you start.
First of all, pay attention to the fact that when you change the orientation of the sheets, the collection of ready-made sheets, as well as covers, will change.
It is also worth mentioning the differences in the versions of the program. The Word will be considered in this article in 2016, but the operation presented is applicable to absolutely all other versions. Note that the instruction for changing the sheet orientation in the program that will be attached may not be suitable for different versions of Word, but the differences will be small: in some tab it will be called differently, but in some tool itself, but the meaning will be identical.
After joining, you can go directly to the instructions on how to turn the sheet in Word.
Turn the sheet around the document
So, first of all, open the document in which you want to change the position of the sheet. After that, open the Layout tab and in it find the page settings tool group. In this group there will be a button "Orientation", which you need to click. It is worth noting that in previous versions of the program, the Layout tab is referred to as Page Layout.
After clicking on the button, a menu will appear in which you will be offered two options: "Portrait" and "Landscape". Choose the one you need and click on it. Now you know where in the Word album sheet. Based on the results of the operations performed, the orientation will change to the one you need.
We combine portrait orientation with landscape in one document
We figured out how to turn the sheet in Word. But, as mentioned above, when using this method, its position will change throughout the document. Let’s now figure out how to expand a sheet in Word, without changing the orientation of adjacent sheets, because this may also be needed.
So, initially you should select that piece of text that you want to place on a sheet located horizontally. It is worth making a small remark here, saying that after all the manipulations that are presented below, only the selected fragment will fall on the album sheet, the rest of the text will be transferred to the next pages arranged vertically.
With the text selected, go to the Layout tab. On it, in the same group of tools, click on the "Fields" button. In the menu that opens, you will need to select the "Custom Fields" item.
A dialog box opens, in which, on the "Fields" tab, you need to mark "landscape" in the "Orientation" area. After that, find the "Apply" drop-down list and select "to the selected text", otherwise the landscape orientation of the sheet will apply to all pages. As a result, click "OK."
Now you can observe how the part of the text that you selected earlier was transferred to a sheet whose orientation is landscape, and the rest of the text remains on the book sheets, while the sequence of the text has not changed. So simple you can combine differently oriented sheets in one document.
Conclusion
Finally, I would like to mention another way to print text on different sheets. It will suit the minority, since it complicates this process at times, but it will be clear to those who have not figured out the previous method.
So, the essence is simple - you need to transfer the text from the document that you want to place in the album sheet to another document with this formatting (how to do it, read the first method), and leave the rest in a document with a portrait orientation. As a result, it remains only to print two documents and combine the sheets sequentially.
