When creating a new document in Microsoft Word By default, the vertical view of the pages, which is also called the book view, is set. For most text documents, instructions and even books it is the most optimal.
However, there are situations when horizontal sheet more convenient. For example, when inserting large graphs, photographs, and other wide visual objects. In this case, you need the pages to be "flipped".
By the way, what kind of sheets in the document - book 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 look for 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 return them back (make them vertical), we do the same, but instead of landscape orientation, we select portrait.

It often happens that you do not need to turn all the pages, but only one. Well, or a few. For example, in term paper, where the main part of the document is text, but several sheets are dedicated to images and graphics. Then it is much more convenient if they are horizontal.
1 . We put the cursor on the page that you want to make landscape. To do this, simply click on it to make the wand blink.
2. Go to the "Page Layout" tab at the top of the program and click on the small arrow in the "Page Setup" line (on the right).
In the version of Word 2016, this is done a little differently: go to the "Layout" tab, select the "Fields" element and look for the line "Custom fields" at the bottom. In earlier versions of Word: File - Page Setup.
3 . In the window that appears (in the "Fields" tab), in the "Orientation" section, click on "Landscape".
four . Then, at the bottom of the window in the "Apply:" section, select "until 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 to have only one turned sheet or a couple in the document, then do the same, but in reverse:
- Put a blinking cursor on the sheet that should be book (just click on it);
- In the "Page Layout" tab, click on the small arrow next to "Page Setup";
- In the window, specify the orientation "Portrait" and at the bottom select "to the end of the document."
The page will “flip” back, while the previously made landscape sheet(s) will remain. Now all subsequent pages will be book.
