In the process of composing, there are instances when you need to rotate a page horizontally to express the complete content, including images, drawings, charts, etc., that a vertical layout cannot adequately represent. If you follow the conventional method of horizontal rotation, all pages in the document will be affected. To rotate a single page horizontally in Word 2016, 2013, 2010, refer to the guidance below.
This article guides you on how to horizontally rotate a single page in Word 2016. For Word 2013, 2010, the process is similar.
If your Word document has only one page, and you need to rotate that page, simply select Layout -> Orientation -> Landscape.
If your document extends beyond one page, and you wish to rotate a specific page horizontally while keeping the vertical orientation of others, you need to create a separate section for that page. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a dedicated section for the page to be rotated.
For instance, if your document consists of 3 pages, and you want to rotate the second page horizontally while keeping the first and third pages in portrait orientation:
1. Position the mouse cursor at the initial location of the page you want to rotate horizontally (the beginning of the second page) and choose Layout -> Breaks -> Continuous.
At this point, you've successfully divided the document into 2 sections (section 1 for page 1, section 2 for pages 2 and 3). To check if the division was successful, double-click at the top of the page you just separated or go to Insert -> Header -> Edit Header. You'll see section 1 and section 2.
2. Next, you need to break the following page to have it in landscape orientation within its own section. Place the cursor at the beginning of the next page you want to rotate and choose Layout -> Breaks -> Continuous.
This way, the page you want to rotate horizontally (page 2) will be in a separate section (section 2).
Step 2: Rotate the page horizontally.
After creating a separate section for the page you want to rotate horizontally, simply place the cursor anywhere on the desired page (page 2) and choose Layout -> Orientation -> Landscape.
The result will look like this:
