I am typing a document in Microsoft Word. After a few pages, I want to create a page in landscape mode instead of portrait mode. When I do this, it does create the page but it also puts all the previous pages in landscape mode, too. There must be some way that I can create one page at a time in one particular mode. — Bob
I have tried to do this in the past also, but unfortunately, the page orientation is a global document change in MS Word.
A workaround is to create separate documents with content you want in portrait mode and in landscape mode, then print them to PDF format. Once you have the PDFs, you can open Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional and combine the files into a single PDF. You can find this function under the File menu, "Combine Files".
