When using WPS Paper Orientation, common questions usually involve whole-document orientation changes, single-page landscape setup, and layout checks; this FAQ includes 3 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Why did the whole document change when I changed page orientation?
- Page orientation usually applies to the current document range by default.
- If you only want to change one page, insert section breaks before and after the target page first.
- Then change the orientation in the target section to reduce the effect on other pages.
How to make one page landscape while keeping other pages portrait?
- Insert a section break before the target page.
- Insert another section break after the target page.
- Select the target section and change its page orientation to landscape.
What should I do if the layout looks messy after switching to landscape?
- Check whether tables, images, or paragraphs extend beyond the page boundaries.
- Adjust margins, object sizes, or paragraph positions as needed.
- Preview the page layout before saving to confirm that the pagination looks correct.
