Microsoft Word is the go-to document editor for Windows users. If you use a Windows PC, you might use the Microsoft Office suite for all the document-related work. When you create a new document in Word, the page’s orientation is automatically set to portrait.
The portrait orientation of the page is best for text editing, but when it comes to adding images or graphs to the Word document, Landscape mode is what most people consider.
So now, how can you make just a one-page landscape in Word? Well, that’s not much of a difficult task to do. In this article, we will be discussing the step-by-step process of making a one-page landscape in Word.
