This How.com.vn teaches you how to change the orientation of a Google Docs file to landscape (horizontal) mode on an Android phone or tablet.
Steps
Open Google Docs on your Android. Look for the icon of a blue sheet of paper with one down-turned corner. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
Tap the document to open it.
Tap the pencil icon. It’s in a circle at the bottom-right corner of the document.[1] You are now in editing mode.
Tap the ⁝ menu. It’s at the top-right corner.
Tap Page setup. It’s near the middle of the menu.
Tap Orientation. It’s at the top of the menu.
Tap Landscape. This flips the orientation of your document from portrait (the standard vertical format) to the wider landscape format.
Tap the back button to return to the document. You may have to tap it several times.- Since you’re viewing the document in editing mode on a small screen, it won't look like anything changed. But if you print the document, open it on a computer, or switch to print layout view, it will be in landscape.
Switch to print layout view to see the document in landscape mode. Tap ⁝ at the top-right corner, and then slide the ″Print layout″ switch to the On (blue) position. This refreshes the document to display in its new landscape format.- If you aren’t finished editing the document, slide the ″Print layout″ switch back to the Off (gray) position to return to editing mode.
