Word 365 2016 2013 2010 2007
Sometimes page orientation for a particular page has to be different from the rest of the document. E.g., usually the whole document has the Portrait orientation, but for a page with the big table it is more convenient to use the Landscape orientation.

To change a page orientation, follow these steps:

   1.   Position the cursor where you want a new page in the Landscape to begin.

   2.   Choose File - > Page Setup.

   3.   Choose Landscape orientation.

   4.   Choose This point forward in the Preview bar.

How to create different headers and footers on odd and even pages

How to create different headers and footers on odd and even pages

Sometimes odd and even pages need to have different headers and footers. In a document with facing pages (mirror margins), odd-numbered pages appear on the right side and even-numbered pages on the left. You may want left-aligned headers on even-numbered pages and right-aligned headers on odd-numbered pages; this way, the headers always appear on the outside edges of your document. You can even create different odd and even headers and footers for each section in your document.
Using document merge to simplify routine work

Using document merge to simplify routine work

If you want to send several letters with the same text, but with different attributes (e.g., names of recipients and their addresses), you can merge a document with a database (e.g., a table of Excel).
Flow text from one text box to another

Flow text from one text box to another

In some document layouts (e.g., magazines), you may need to run a series of text boxes that contain a sequence of text. Word lets you flow text from one text box to another: When the first text box is full, Word automatically moves to the next text box and fills it. If you add or delete text in a text box, Word adjusts the text in the subsequent text boxes accordingly.
