How do you insert a section break to change page orientation for only part of the document?

• A. Place the cursor where the change begins, Layout > Breaks > Section Breaks (Next Page), then set Orientation for the new section
• B. Home > Styles to modify orientation
• C. Reference > Cross-reference
• D. View > Zoom to adjust orientation

Answer: (A)

To change page orientation for only part of the document, you need to isolate that portion as its own section. Page setup like orientation applies to a whole section, so you create a section break at the point where the orientation should change, starting a new section on the next page. Then you change the orientation for that new section. The practical steps are: place the cursor where the change begins, insert a section break (Layout > Breaks > Section Breaks > Next Page), then with the cursor in the new section, go to Layout > Orientation and choose the desired orientation. This way the rest of the document keeps its original orientation. If you later want to revert to the previous orientation, insert another section break where you want to return and set the orientation back for that section.
