2 Ways to Landscape 1 Specific Page in Word (+Image)

On Ms. Word, there are 2 paper positions (orientation) namely portrait and landscape. Well, in this article, I will discuss about landscape. What is landscape position? Landscape is a paper shape that extends horizontally.

Given that there is a variety of information that can be entered into Ms. Word, the orientation of the paper will certainly be adjusted to the needs. Sometimes, we do need a paper shape that extends horizontally in order to contain certain content.

What if we only want to make one page in the form of a landscape? To overcome this, you can listen to the explanation of how to landscape a certain page in Word below.

A. Creating Landscape Pages with Custom Margins

Here I will give an example of how to make 1 page containing one image into a landscape form. The following is an example of a page that will be converted to landscape form. This page will be better if it is in landscape position so that the image on the page can be enlarged. That way, images will be easier to see and text will be easier to read.

Pay attention to the steps below.

1. First of all, don’t forget to put your cursor on the page that you want to change to landscape as shown below. You also select the text on the page.
