Microsoft Word has many convenient page settings for both reading and printing. In this program, you can change the orientation of pages from portrait to landscape - in some cases, changing a vertical sheet to a horizontal one can be very convenient, for example, when you want to print a large horizontal ad or place a wide spreadsheet on the sheet. Making a horizontal, landscape-oriented sheet in Word is a snap.
Instructions
Step 1
Click the File menu in the upper left corner of any Microsoft Word document and select the Page Setup tab. The settings window will open, in which you will see two icons - "Landscape orientation" and "Portrait orientation".
Step 2
Select the landscape icon and click OK. You will see that the page has changed and you can now print on a horizontal sheet. To change the paper orientation back to vertical, open Page Setup again from the File menu and select the vertical orientation accordingly.
Step 3
In the page setup window, you can optionally change the size of the indents, the width of the document, increase or decrease the size of the frame, as well as change other parameters related to the appearance of your page. The orientation will be maintained when the page is printed.
Step 4
In addition, you can not only change the position of the sheet itself, but also change the direction of the text - on a sheet of any orientation, you can, if you wish, write both horizontal and vertical text. To do this, use the Text Direction option on the Text Box toolbar.
Step 5
To change the direction of text within a table, use the Text Direction button in the Tables and Borders menu.
