When you use Paper Orientation, common questions usually involve the whole document changing at once, landscape pages not printing correctly, and how to use portrait and landscape in one file; this FAQ covers 3 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Why did all pages change after I set the orientation?
- Check whether section breaks have already been inserted before and after the target page.
- If not, insert a Next Page Section Break where you want the separate orientation to begin.
- Place the cursor inside the target section and set the paper orientation again.
How to make one page landscape in WPS on Mac without changing the whole document?
- Divide the document into sections first.
- Insert a section break before the page that needs a different layout.
- Click inside that section and then set the page to Landscape or Portrait as needed.
Why does a landscape page not print completely?
- Open Print Preview first and check whether the content extends beyond the page margins.
- Review the page margins, table width, or chart size.
- Adjust the margins or reduce the content size, then print again.
