Microsoft Word, both in its 2016 and 2019 versions, provides us with a series of integrated tools which allow the created documents to have the best design, style and format options . Microsoft Word is used for creating documents and one of the most common tasks is printing. But a lot of information can be represented in a different format, so the modification of the orientation of the page is required so that the data hosted there can be better managed and its presentation is much more professional ..
Sometimes if we have to do a job or presentation, the insertion of content is very varied both in type and size. We can find text, images, graphics ... When this occurs we find the problem that not everything fits in the same way in a document and that perhaps an organization chart is better presented horizontally than vertically by default. If our entire document must go vertically minus a specific part, you will like this trick.
Modifying the orientation in Microsoft Word is simple and that is why TechnoWikis will explain how to carry it out in a Word document. This process applies equally to Word 2016 or Word 2019..
