In this case, we have changed the orientation for all pages in the document, and if we need to change the orientation of only one page in the middle of the document ... There is a solution to this problem.
Change the orientation of one page in a document
In this case, we need to change the orientation of only one or a few pages in the document, the orientation of the rest of the pages must remain the same. In this way, we will change the orientation of individual pages in the Word and keep the page numbering sequentially.
Suppose we need " turn over"only the third page in the Word. To do this, open our document (document.docx) and put the mouse cursor at the beginning of the first character on the third page:
Fig 5. Required page for orientation change
At the top of the program we see an area with tabs " home», « Insert», « Page layout», « Links" etc. Find the tab " Page layout”, click on it with the left mouse button, after which we see its contents:

In this window we find the item " Next page” and click on it once with the left mouse button:

After clicking on " Next page» The program will perform the necessary actions almost instantly. Our document is divided into 2 sections, now we can perform a "page spread" in landscape orientation. To do this, click at the beginning of the first character of the third page, as we did earlier and in the tab " Page layout» (located at the top WORD programs) click on the item " Orientation" and in the pop-up window left-click on " landscape»:
Figure 8. Changing the Page Orientation to Landscape
After these operations, the program will change the orientation of all pages (starting from the third one) located after our third page, i.e. 4, 5, 6 and other pages.
If we need only one, third page of the document to have landscape orientation. To do this, go to the end of the third page and put the cursor after the last character on the page:
Now we perform the actions familiar to us with a section break. To do this, in the tab " Page layout» click on the item « breaks' and from the pop-up menu select ' Next page»:
Now we have achieved the desired goal: changing the orientation of only one page in a WORD document:
Figure 13. Landscape and portrait page orientation in WORD
As a result, in our document, all pages except the third are in portrait orientation, and the third page is in landscape orientation. If we also need to selectively change the orientations of other pages, then the operation described above must be repeated the corresponding number of times.
How to change the orientation of all pages in Word
If you need to rotate all the pages of a Word document, then this is done very simply. You need to go to the "Page Setup" dialog box, which can be opened by double-clicking on the left ruler of the document. This window also allows you to set the paper size and change the print margins.

To expand all pages of the document, simply click on the picture of the sheet with the type of orientation you need. By default, the page is in portrait orientation. Change it to landscape to rotate the page 90 degrees.
If you need to rotate only one page in Word, then all the steps are performed in much the same way. The only difference is which part of the Word document to apply page rotation to.
Look at the previous drawing. At the very bottom of the window there is an "Apply" list, which has a default value of "to the whole document". That is why all the pages were turned last time. If you want to rotate only one page of the Word document, then you need to select another item in the list, namely, "to the end of the document." This will rotate all pages to the very end.
If all pages do not need to be expanded, but only one is needed, then the operation is performed in a similar way. The result of a spread of one page out of three is shown in the figure below.

If you think about it, then there are three options for turning pages in a document:
- All pages are turned, starting with the first
