How to Make Microsoft Office Word Files Horizontal

Change the page orientation of a Microsoft Word file
1. Open the Microsoft Word file you wish to modify.
2. For Microsoft Word 2007, click on the 'Page Layout' tab that appears on the top of your window in the toolbar (also known as the ribbon). Under the header 'Page Setup' select the option 'Orientation' and choose 'Landscape' to make the document horizontal.
3. For older versions of Microsoft Word, click on 'File' in the menu and then select 'Page Setup.' You will find the option to change the orientation from vertical to horizontal under 'Margins.'
