Change paper orientation

Most documents will be in portrait orientation, but of course some will need to be in landscape orientation.

  • Portrait = the page is taller than it is wide
  • Landscape = the page is wider than it is tall

To change the orientation of your page, go to Layout > Orientation.

Layout > Orientation

Once you’ve changed the page orientation, you might need to adjust your zoom. Remember an earlier lesson where we practiced zooming in and out.

Practice point: Change the page orientation to landscape. Then, change it back to portrait.
