How to turn a sheet in Word: detailed instructions

Everyone knows the most popular text editor in the world - this is Microsoft Word. He gained his fame for many reasons, but the main one is the presence of a bunch of tools and parameters that make working in the program convenient, simple and fast. Working with documents involves the use of many of them. One of the tools will be discussed in this article, or rather, how to turn over a sheet in Word.

Foreword

Initially, it is necessary to stipulate all the nuances and pitfalls, and only then proceed to the detailed instructions on how to turn the sheet in Word.

The first thing worth mentioning is that when you change the orientation of one sheet in the program, a whole stack of all other sheets changes and the covers change. But there is one trick that will allow you to combine sheets arranged vertically and horizontally in one document, but more on that later.

At this stage of the article, it is also worth saying that the examples will be given in the 2016 version, but the instruction is common for all releases of the program. The arrangement of certain interface elements and the display of icons and buttons can only differ, and the sequence of actions will remain the same.

With the introduction we are done, now we can go directly to the story of how to turn the sheet in the “Office”.

Change sheet orientation throughout the document

So, in front of you is an open document. It can be both with the text typed in it before and clean - this does not play a role. If you want to change the orientation of all sheets in it, then you need to do the following:

1. Go to the "Layout" tab in the program (take into account that in some versions of the program this tab is referred to as "Page Layout").
2. Click on the "Orientation" button on the toolbar. It is, by the way, in the page settings tool group.
3. After clicking, a drop-down list will appear , in which two options will be offered: "Book" and "Landscape". You just have to select the desired orientation and click on it.

Now you know how to turn sheets in Word, but it often happens that you need to turn over only one sheet, and not all. This method, unfortunately, is not suitable for the task, but there is another, which we’ll talk about now.

Landscape orientation with portrait in one document

You already know how to turn sheets in Word, but how to turn one single sheet over is not. But this is not so difficult. Following the instructions that will now be presented, you can easily complete the task.

1. Select the part of the text that you want to place on the sheet with a changed orientation. Please note that the left over part of the text will remain on another sheet with the same orientation, and a large gap may form between the lines.
2. Go to the "Layout" tab (in new versions of "Word") or "Page Layout" (in old versions of the program).
3. Click on the "Fields" button, which is located in the "Page Setup" tool group.
4. In the drop-down list that appears, select "Custom Fields".
5. In the window that opens, in the "Orientation" area, select the desired sheet orientation.
6. In the "Apply" drop-down list, select "To selected text".
7. Click OK.

Now you know all the ways to flip a sheet in Word.
