How can I set the orientation of a single page in a multi-page document in Word 2007-2010?

Question

How can I rotate (or insert) a single page into an Office Word document that is oriented differently that the other pages? I know this can be done. I've seen it done in Word 2003 and older documents but figuring this out for Office 2007 (and greater) eludes me.

Answer 1

All you need to do is put that page into its own section. For example if most pages are set to portrait orientation and you want one that’s landscape, create a new section before the landscape page and a new section after the landscape page.

Let’s say the first part of your document is in Section 1. Now you’ve created a Section 2. Set this section to Landscape Orientation. At the bottom of the Landscape page insert a new section break. Now set the new section, Section 3, back to Portrait.

 You can switch orientation as often as you like as long as you keep the sections separate.
