Things You Should Know
- Rotate the whole document on the Layout tab by selecting Orientation > Landscape.
- You can rotate a single page by inserting a section break at the top of the page.
- Once you add a section break, you can click the cursor on the desired page and go to Layout > Orientation > Landscape.
Steps
