How do you set up the pages in Word to be horizontal rather than the automatic vertical setting? I want to create a vertical presentation. If there's no way to do that, I suppose I could use Power Point..
oops, I meant "I want to create a HORIZONTAL presentation"
In Microsoft Word, open a new file. Then go to File | Page Setup and click on the box that says Landscape. The layout will be horizontal instead of vertical.
hey! you deleted all of my responses. It's cool how you can do that though!
Thanks!
You're welcome!
To set up a Word document for horizontal pages, you can follow these steps:
1. Open Microsoft Word and create a new document or open an existing one.
2. Click on the "Layout" tab in the ribbon menu at the top of the screen.
3. In the "Page Setup" section, click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the section to open the Page Setup dialog box.
4. In the Page Setup dialog box, select the "Margins" tab.
5. In the "Orientation" section, you will see a dropdown menu with two options: "Portrait" and "Landscape".
6. Select "Landscape" to change the page orientation to horizontal.
7. Optionally, you can adjust the margins or set a specific paper size in the same dialog box.
8. Click the "OK" button to apply the changes.
Now your Word document will have horizontal (landscape) pages instead of the default vertical (portrait) pages. You can then create your vertical presentation within this document.
However, if you're primarily looking to create a presentation with vertical slides, it would indeed be more suitable to use a presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint offers more flexibility and specialized features specifically designed for creating and presenting slides.
