To set up a portrait page in a document, change the page orientation to portrait. Here's how:
Steps to Change Page Orientation to Portrait:
-
Go to the Page Layout or Layout Tab: Depending on your software (e.g., Microsoft Word, Google Docs), locate the tab labeled "Page Layout" or simply "Layout."
-
Find the Orientation Option: Within the Page Layout/Layout tab, look for a section related to page setup. You'll typically find an "Orientation" option.
-
Select Portrait: Click on the "Orientation" dropdown menu or button, and choose "Portrait."
Example using Microsoft Word:
- Open your Microsoft Word document.
- Click on the "Layout" tab.
- In the "Page Setup" group, click "Orientation."
- Select "Portrait."
This will change the page orientation of your entire document to portrait mode. If you need different orientations within the same document (e.g., a mix of portrait and landscape pages), you'll usually need to insert section breaks and then adjust the orientation for each section separately. Consult your specific software's help documentation for instructions on using section breaks for varying page orientations.
