Adjust the Paper Orientation and Size

1. Choose Page Layout => Page Setup => Orientation.
2. Select whether you want a Portrait or Landscape orientation.
3. Choose Page Layout => Page Setup => Size. A drop-down list of paper sizes appears.
4. Select a paper size. The paper size choices you see depend on the printer you use. The two most common US choices are Letter, which is 8.5 inches by 11 inches, and Legal, which is 8.5 inches by 14 inches.

Getting the lay of the landscape

The drop-down menu attached to the Orientation button in the Page Setup group of the Ribbon's Page Layout tab contains two options:

• Portrait (the default) where the printing runs parallel to the short edge of the paper.
  
  
• Landscape where the printing runs parallel to the long edge of the paper Because many worksheets are far wider than they are tall (such as budgets or sales tables that track expenditures over all 12 months), you may find that their worksheets page better if you switch the orientation from the normal portrait mode (which accommodates fewer columns on a page because the printing runs parallel to the short edge of the page) to landscape mode.
