Different Page Styles In a Document

What This Tutorial Does

In this tutorial, you will learn how to mix "Page Styles" in the same document without changing the entire document to the same "Page Style". For this tutorial, we will create a "Page Style" with the "Portrait Orientation" and a "Page Style" with the "Landscape Orientation". The trick is in the: "Insert > Manual Break > Page Break > Style (Select)". The document we create will have four pages with "Page 1" having the "Portrait Orientation", "Page 2" having the "Landscape Orientation", "Page 3" having the "Portrait Orientation", and "Page 4" having the "Landscape" Orientation.

Create A "Page Style" Named "Portrait" and A "Page Style" Named "Landscape"

1. Click File > New > Text Document. (The document appears.)

2. Click Format > Styles and Formatting, (The "Styles and Formatting" window appears.) Click the Page Styles, , icon.

3. Click the New Style From Selection, , icon > New Style from Selection. (The "Create Style" window appears.)

4. In the dialog box under Style Name, type Portrait. Click OK. (You will see the new "Page Style, Portrait", that you just created in the box below the "Style Name" dialog box. )

5. Click the Page Styles, icon. (If the "Styles and Formatting window" is closed, click "Format > Styles and Formatting > Page Styles, icon".

6. Click the New Style From Selection, , icon > New Style from Selection.

7. In the dialog box under Style Name, type Landscape. Click OK.

8. In the Styles and Formatting > Page Styles window, right-click Landscape. (A small menu giving you the choices, "New, Modify, Delete", appears".) Click Modify (The "Page Style: Landscape" window appears.) Click the Page tab. Under Orientation, click Landscape > OK. (A dot appears before "Landscape". The "Page Style: Landscape" window closes.)

Apply the "Page Styles", "Portrait" and "Landscape"

1. Type This is the Default Page Style. In the Default Page Style, the default setting for Orientation is Portrait. (Page 1/1 and Default appear at the bottom of the page.)

2. Click Insert > Manual Break. (The "Insert Break" window appears.) Under Type, verify that there is a dot in the circle before Page break.
