Subject:printing in landscape/portrait in WORD -Reply From:Carol Van Natta <CVANNATT -at- ITC -dot- NRCS -dot- USDA -dot- GOV> Date:Mon, 17 Nov 1997 13:03:51 -0700
I'm assuming Word 6/7 (but I presume it's similar for Word
8).
Go to the first page that you want to print landscape. Insert a
break (section, continuous). Then in page layout, set the new
section's format as landscape. Now go to the next page
where you want it to revert to portrait. Insert a continous
section break, then change the page layout to portrait.
Repeat for each change in orientation as needed. Caveat:
Word cannot print landscape and portrait text on the same
page without a great dea of fuss, so any headers and footers
will become landscape on those pages and probably look
really ugly.
I searched the archives for this one but only found a solution
for
Framemaker. I'm trying to help someone else out.
How do you print a document in Word with pages in portrait
and landscape
mode? They are trying to change the page orientation to
landscape for
the pages that need it, but it won't work.
