If you're working on a document that needs to be rotated, you can flip your page. Microsoft Word's page setup enables you to rotate pages by utilizing landscape and portrait features. When you use landscape options, your content appears horizontally (sideways) on the page. When it's set to portrait, however, it appears vertically. You can also flip portions of your page by using a text box. Text boxes allow you to rotate the text on your page while the remainder of your page stays in place.
