You might want to create a master page when using Word’s page layout options. A one-page landscape in Microsoft word is something that you can create easily with our guide.
Word documents can be created in either a landscape or portrait orientation. Even though portrait mode is selected by default, landscape mode can be selected to make text appear in a horizontal orientation.

How to Make One Page Landscape in Word?
In Word, you can easily make a one-page landscape document by following these steps:
- Open your Word document and move the flashing cursor to the beginning of the page you want to switch to landscape mode.
- In the ribbon bar, select the Layout menu.
- In the Area Breaks section, go to Breaks > Next Page. This adds a section break and moves your text to a new page.
- Select Orientation > Landscape from the Layout menu. This will change the current page and all subsequent pages to landscape mode.
- You must now return the remaining pages to portrait mode. Scroll to the next page and position the flashing cursor at the top of the page.
- Insert a new section break by going to Layout > Breaks > Next Page.
- To turn the pages to portrait mode, go to Orientation > Portrait.
All other pages should remain in portrait mode if you followed the steps correctly.
