How to insert a landscape sheet in Word. How to make a landscape sheet in Word

I welcome everyone who wanders through Word 2016 in search of information on the landscape orientation of pages (one, several or all) in a document. Today we will discuss this issue with you, as before in previous “Cribs,” in detail, with all the details. Anyone who reads this article, and even more so watches the video posted below, will no longer have any confusion about changing the format of Word pages. Shall we get started?

How to make a landscape page in Word 2016 for the entire document

By default, all documents of the Word 2016 text editor, as well as all previous versions, are presented in book format. But, if you have an idea to create your creation in the form of an album, then it is very simple to implement it.

All operations are carried out on the tab panel " Layout" Go to the first section on the left " Page Options", click on the button " Orientation" In the drop-down menu, select landscape design for the document. The task is completed.

But let’s also see what else Word offers us in “ Page settings»:

• by clicking on the “Margins” button, you can select indents from six templates or set them as desired;
• button " Size» will allow you to choose the future printing format in both portrait and landscape versions;
• button " Columns» you can split the text into 2, 3, 4, 5 columns, setting their width at your discretion;
• about the button Gap“We already talked in the Cheat Sheets” on headers and footers and numbering; In the future, I plan to write a separate review about all the capabilities of this team.

And it should also be noted that if you change the orientation of the pages of the entire document, the format of the title pages will change accordingly. You can always choose the appropriate one in the “ Insert", section " Pages».

And now, dear Word researchers, let's look at a more interesting problem.

How to make several pages landscape in Word

That is, friends, you understand that we will not expand the entire document into landscape format, but only its individual pages. Those of you who carefully read the “Cribs” about page numbering and headers and footers, by analogy with the material given there, may decide that we will again begin to divide the document into technical sections. And they will be wrong! Hurray, hurray! In this case, Word will do it for us. So the tedious preparatory work of separating selected pages into separate sections is not required.

So what needs to be done? Everything is very simple this time. In order to make only a few pages landscape in Word 2016, we take 7 simple steps:

1. select the text intended for landscape pages;

1. open the tab panel " Layout»;

1. Left-click on the arrow in the lower right corner of the “ Page Options»;

1. In the window that opens, select the tab “ Fields»;

1. note landscape orientation;

1. in the line " apply» select « to selected text»;

1. click " OK».

By default, the page view is set to vertical, also called portrait view. For most text documents, instructions and even books, it is most suitable.

However, there are situations when a horizontal sheet is more convenient. For example, when inserting large graphs, photographs, and other wide visual objects. In this case, the pages need to be “upside down.”

By the way, what type of sheets in a document - portrait or landscape - is called page orientation.

How to make all pages of a document landscape

1. At the top of the program, go to the “Page Layout” or “Layout” tab and find the “Orientation” button.

2. Click on it and select the “Landscape” option.

Now all sheets in the document will be horizontal. If you need to make them vertical again, we do the same thing, but instead of landscape orientation, choose portrait.

How to make only one (several) pages landscape

It often happens that you need to turn not all the pages, but only one. Well, or several. For example, in a term paper, where the main part of the document is text, but several sheets are allocated for images and graphs. Then it is much more convenient if they are horizontal.

1. Place the cursor on the page that you want to make landscape. To do this, simply click on it so that the wand blinks.

2. Go to the “Page Layout” tab at the top of the program and click on the small arrow in the “Page Options” line (on the right).

In the Word 2016 version, this is done a little differently: go to the “Layout” tab, select the “Margins” element and look at the bottom for the “Custom Margins” line. In earlier versions of Word: File → Page Options.

3. In the window that appears (in the “Fields” tab), in the “Orientation” section, click on “Landscape”.

4. Then at the bottom of the window, in the “Apply” section, select “to the end of the document” from the list and click “OK”.

Now this page and everything after it will be in landscape orientation. If you need the document to have only one upside-down sheet or a couple, then do the same, but in reverse:

• Place the blinking cursor on the sheet that should be portrait (just click on it).
• In the Page Layout tab, click on the small arrow next to Page Setup.
• In the window, select the orientation “Portrait” and select “to the end of the document” at the bottom.

The page will “turn” back, but the previously made landscape sheet(s) will remain. Now all subsequent pages will be book pages.

When working in the Word text editor, portrait page orientation is not always suitable. Sometimes it is necessary for the pages to be like in an album, i.e. located horizontally. It's not at all difficult to do this. It is much more difficult to create a landscape page in Word in the middle of a document. This is where you have to work hard.

Default O The page orientation in Word is portrait, but it can be changed to landscape if necessary. How to do this?

This may be necessary when creating reports from or for an album.

1. Select a team – File – Page Options...

2. In the window that opens “ Page Options » select the tab « Fields" In the section " Orientation» click on « Landscape" and save by clicking the " OK ».

If you want your document to have only one or more sheets in the middle of the document in landscape orientation,

then place the cursor on the page that should be landscape and select from the menu – File – Page Options . In the window that opens " Page Options " on the " tab Fields" in the section " Orientation» install « Landscape" Below in the section " Sample" in the window " Apply" in the drop-down list, select " until the end of the document " and click the " OK ».

Next, place the cursor on the page from which the book format will again appear, and do the same. Just select " Orientation » — « TOlower " And in the section " Sample" in the window " Apply" set also "to the end of the document".

As you can see, nothing complicated.

The same can be done in a text editor Word 2007/2010. To do this, open the menu Page layout and to the right of the block name Page Options Click on the little black arrow. A window will open Page Options .

Do everything else in the same way as described above.

This is how you can make a landscape page in Word in the middle of a document .

Some of the functions of the program were not used by someone at all, but now they are needed... Let's say you need to insert a wide table or a large image into Word.

Word: landscape layout

How to understand which sheet you have now: portrait or landscape? The book orientation of the sheet is such that its long side is in a vertical position, and its short side is in a horizontal position. That is, we need to “lay” the vertical sheet on its side. This will be the album sheet.
