• On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then select page orientation on the Margins tab.

• On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then look in the Multiple pages list for the Mirror margins option.

• On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then look in the Multiple pages list for the 2 pages per sheet option.

Most printers require a minimum width for margin settings, since they can't print to the edge of the page. If you try to set margins that are too narrow, Microsoft Word displays the message "One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page." To prevent text from being cut off, click Fix to automatically increase the margin width. If you ignore the message and try to print the document, Word displays another message asking whether you want to continue.

You can also set the margins manually by using the ruler or the Margins tab (File menu, Page Setup command). Keep in mind that the minimum margin settings depend on your printer, printer driver, and paper size. To determine the minimum margin settings, check your printer manual.

• Page margins are available only for documents saved in Microsoft Word document (.doc) format. When you save a document as a Web page (.htm), page margins aren't visible when you view the document in Web layout view (Web Layout view: A view of a document as it will appear in a Web browser. For example, the document appears as one long page (without page breaks) and text and tables wrap to fit in the window.) or in your Web browser (Web browser: Software that interprets HTML files, formats them into Web pages, and displays them. A Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, can follow hyperlinks, transfer files, and play sound or video files that are embedded in Web pages.).

  To return to the Word document with its original page margins, save the Web page in Word document (.doc) format again. In this case, the original page margins are preserved.

• If you're working in print layout view (Print Layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.), the top and bottom margins may not be visible if the White space between pages option is not selected. On the Tools menu, click Options. On the View tab, select the White space between pages check box.

• If you're working in normal view (normal view: A view that shows text formatting and a simplified page layout. Normal view is convenient for most editing and formatting tasks.), the Wrap to window option may be selected. On the Tools menu, click Options. On the View tab, clear the Wrap to window check box.

You cannot print in portrait and landscape orientation on the same page. However, you can achieve this effect by using the Microsoft Word drawing tools. For example, if the document is in portrait orientation, you can create a vertical text box (text box: A movable, resizable container for text or graphics. Use text boxes to position several blocks of text on a page or to give text a different orientation from other text in the document.) that contains the text you want in landscape orientation.

To change the orientation in a text box from horizontal to vertical or vice versa, click inside the text box, and then click the Change Text Direction button on the Text Box toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.).
