A few years ago when we referred to a text editor, in reality we found ourselves with a basic and simple program to write these documents full of characters. But times have changed a lot and today we find ourselves with powerful applications for multiple tasks. It goes without saying that the popular Microsoft Word belongs to this sector of software.
We mention precisely this title because it could be considered one of the most widespread and used programs in the world. In this way, users find the perfect solution to carry out all kinds of treatments with their text documents. Obviously today we no longer only work here with characters as such. We can give our documents a higher level by adding images , videos , tables, graphics and much more.
Most of you will already know that this is an application that is part of the software giant’s Office suite where we also find other titles such as Excel or PowerPoint . Managing and controlling all the functions that Word currently offers us is not an easy task. But most users master the most common basic functions that we usually use when writing these documents. Here we want to focus on something as useful as it is functional, such as changing the orientation of the pages .
This is something that can be very useful to us depending on the type of document we are writing or the use we make of it. It will also help us in certain circumstances when printing our projects on paper . Precisely for all this we are going to show you below how you can carry out this modification in the simplest way.
Change the orientation of a page in Word
Well, to say that this is something that we can carry out in a simple way if necessary. First of all, we are going to tell you that these types of orientation changes are usually carried out on previously finished and formatted documents . We say this because Microsoft’s a priori text editor allows us to set our project pages to the max before we start working. But if once we have finished we need to carry out this change, let’s see how to do it.
Therefore, for all this that we are telling you, the first thing we will do is select the paragraphs or pages that we want to modify in terms of their orientation. This means that we won’t have to make this change to the entire document. Thus, once the corresponding selection of the content has been made, we go to the Layout menu option that we find in the main Word interface .
A series of sections belonging to the aforementioned configuration that we can carry out with the pages of our document will appear on the screen. Precisely in this case we take a look at Page Setup, where we find the drop-down list corresponding to Orientation. Therefore, now we only have to click on it to change the orientation of the selection of texts that we have made. Here we will have the possibility of establishing a horizontal or vertical orientation , depending on the needs of each case.
