Changing Page Orientation

Summary: Learn about different page orientations and how to change them. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

There were two orientations you could use when you print your document: portrait and landscape. Whether you are able to modify the paper orientation depends on the type of printer you have installed to work with Windows. To modify the paper orientation, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Page Setup option from the File menu. Word displays the Page Setup dialog box.
  2. In Word 2002 or later, select the Margins tab. (Click here to see a related figure.) Select the Paper Size tab in earlier versions. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. Select the appropriate orientation for your document.
  4. Click on OK.

Tip #254 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
