4. Click OK.
Notes:
- Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text that has the new page orientation. If you write a book or a long report and your document is already divided into sections, you can click in the section (or select multiple sections), and then change the orientation only for the sections that you have chosen:
![Orientation of one page in Word 2016 Orientation of one page in Word 2016](/images/tips/634_2016/1.png)
- The option Selected text in the Apply to list appears only if there is selected text in the document.
