在Microsoft Word中创建或编辑文档时，您需要解决的第一个设计问题是(design question)页面方向(page orientation)。这完全取决于您的文档的目的。您是否有一个使用垂直布局更易于阅读的主要文本文档？或者，您想利用更大的宽度更好地捕捉视野吗？无论您更改Word 文档(Word document)方向的原因是什么，请阅读本指南以帮助您进行设置：
注意(NOTE)：本教程适用于Microsoft Office、Office 365、Android、iPhone 和 iPad(iPhone and iPad) (iOS)中的Microsoft Word桌面版和移动版。(Microsoft Word)
Microsoft Word 文档(Microsoft Word document)中的方向是什么？
Microsoft Word中的页面方向(page orientation)可以是纵向或横向。这些名称源自视觉艺术，描述了在矩形图片中捕捉到的两个主题：人物肖像或自然风景，也称为风景。关键因素是矩形的垂直边或水平边是否更大。在肖像中，您需要更多的垂直细节，而在风景中，您需要更多的宽度来捕捉地平线。
根据经验，以文本为主的页面在纵向(portrait)上更容易阅读。人眼在完成一行文本时有局限性，它需要找到下一行的开头。使页面宽度过大，您的读者难以阅读您的页面。横向(landscape)允许更精细的设计，通常涉及表格、列或图像(columns or images)。
如何更改Microsoft Word桌面版本中所有页面的方向(Microsoft Word)
为了帮助我们的读者，我们使用一个示例，将文档中的页面从Portrait切换到Landscape。尽管我们在切换页面方向(page orientation)的位置显示现有文档，但您也可以对空文档运行相同的更改。如果您从一开始就知道文档的页面方向(page orientation)，最好在创建内容之前应用它。您的设计决策（例如字体大小和(size and placement)图像的位置）可能会根据您选择的页面方向而改变。(page orientation)
在Microsoft Word中，打开要更改页面方向(page orientation)的文档。第一步是在应用更改之前选择整个文档：
单击或点击主页(Home)以确保在功能区上选择此选项卡。找到功能区右侧的编辑部分。(Editing)单击(Click)或点按“选择(Select)”按钮以打开下拉菜单，然后单击(menu and click)或点按“全选”(Select All)。或者，使用CTRL + A键盘快捷键。
选择整个文档后，通过单击或点击其名称切换到功能区上的布局选项卡。(Layout)
找到功能区左侧的页面设置部分，(Page Setup)然后单击(ribbon and click)或点击方向(Orientation)按钮。从打开的下拉菜单中，选择横向(Landscape)或纵向(Portrait)以应用所需的页面方向(page orientation)。
我们选择了Landscape ，并立即应用新的页面方向。(page orientation)
重要提示：(IMPORTANT:)相同的程序适用于反向更改(reverse change)；您需要在最后一步中选择所需的页面方向。(page orientation)我们要求您选择Word 文档(Word document)的全部内容，因为如果您不这样做，方向更改将应用于当前部分，而不是整个文档。但是，许多文档没有分成多个部分，在这种情况下，首先选择整个内容不是强制性的步骤。
如何使用适用于Android 或 iOS(Android or iOS)（iPhone、iPad）的Microsoft Word更改文档中所有页面的方向(Microsoft Word)
涉及的步骤在适用于 Android的(for Android)Word 应用程序(Word app) 和适用于iPhone 或 iPad(iPhone or iPad) (iOS)的应用程序中几乎相同。在本节中，我们并排共享屏幕截图，左侧为Word for Android，右侧为Word for iOS。让我们开始吧：
在智能手机或平板电脑(smartphone or tablet)上，在Microsoft Word中打开要更改页面方向(page orientation)的文档。点击(Tap)文档中的任意位置，将出现一个菜单。然后，点击全选(Select All)。
(Bring)在屏幕底部调出带有Word编辑选项的完整菜单。要在Android上执行此操作，请点击右下角的向上箭头。在iPhone 或 iPad(iPhone or iPad)上，点击键盘上方的三点按钮。
点击菜单中的主页(Home)以打开包含其他编辑选项的下拉菜单。
选择布局(Layout)并点击它。
在Layout(Layout)选项下方，点击Orientation。
选择您想要的页面方向(page orientation)：纵向(Portrait)或横向(Landscape)。在我们的示例中，我们选择了Landscape。
新的页面方向(page orientation)立即应用于您的Word 文档(Word document)。相同的程序适用于反向更改(reverse change)。
重要提示：在适用于(IMPORTANT:)Android 和 iOS的(Android and iOS)Word 移动(Word mobile)应用程序中更改文档的方向，仅当您是Office 365订阅者时才可用。否则，如果您尝试执行我们显示的步骤，则会被告知您无法使用这些功能。
是什么让您改变了Microsoft Word 文档(Microsoft Word document)的方向？
Word 文档(Word document)的页面方向(page orientation)由您要创建的内容决定。Microsoft Word默认设置纵向(Portrait)方向，这是最常用的。但是，对于小册子或日历页面(calendar page)，横向(Landscape)是更好的设计选择(design choice)。在结束本教程之前，请告诉我们是什么促使您更改页面方向(page orientation)。在下面发表评论，让我们讨论。
How to change the orientation of all the pages in a Microsoft Word document
When creating or editing documents іn Microsoft Word, the first deѕign question you need to address is the page orientation. It all dеpеnds on the purpose of your document. Do you have a mostly text document that is easier tо read with a vertical layout? Alternatively, do you want to take advantage оf a larger width to capture the visual field better? Whatever is your reason to change the orientation of your Word document, read this guide to help yoυ set it up:
NOTE: This tutorial applies to both the desktop and the mobile versions of Microsoft Word, found in Microsoft Office, Office 365, Android, iPhone and iPad (iOS).
What is the orientation in a Microsoft Word document?
The page orientation in Microsoft Word can be either portrait or landscape. The names are derived from the visual arts and describe two subjects captured in a picture shaped like a rectangle: the portrait of a person or natural scenery also known as landscape. The critical element is whether the vertical or the horizontal side of the rectangle is bigger. In a portrait, you need more detail on the vertical, while in a landscape you need more width to capture the horizon.
As a rule of thumb, the pages with mostly text are easier to read in portrait orientation. The human eye has limitations when it finishes one line of text, and it needs to find the beginning of the next one. Make the page width too large, and your readers struggle to read your pages. The landscape orientation allows more elaborate designs that usually involve tables, columns or images.
How to change the orientation for all pages in the desktop versions of Microsoft Word
To help our readers, we use an example in which we switch the pages in a document from Portrait to Landscape. Although we show an existing document where we switch the page orientation, you can run the same change for an empty document too. If you know the page orientation for your document from the beginning, it is better to apply it before you create the content. Your design decisions (such as font size and placement of images) are likely to change based on the page orientation you choose.
In Microsoft Word, open the document where you want to change the page orientation. The first step is to select the entire document before applying the changes:
Click or tap Home to make sure this tab is selected on the ribbon. Locate the Editing section on the right side of the ribbon. Click or tap the Select button to open the drop-down menu and click or tap Select All. Alternatively, use the CTRL + A keyboard shortcut.
With the entire document selected, switch to the Layout tab on the ribbon by clicking or tapping on its name.
Locate the Page Setup section on the left side of the ribbon and click or tap the Orientation button. From the drop-down menu that opens, choose Landscape or Portrait to apply your desired page orientation.
We selected Landscape, and the new page orientation is applied immediately.
IMPORTANT: The same procedure applies for the reverse change; you need to choose your desired page orientation in the last step. We asked you to select the entire contents of the Word document, because, if you do not, the change in orientation gets applied to the current section, and not to the whole document. However, many documents are not split into sections and, in that case, selecting the entire contents first is not a mandatory step.
How to change the orientation for all pages in a document, using Microsoft Word for Android or iOS (iPhone, iPad)
The steps involved are almost identical in the Word app for Android and that for iPhone or iPad (iOS). In this section, we share screenshots side by side, with Word for Android on the left, and Word for iOS on the right. Let's get started:
On your smartphone or tablet, open the document where you want to change the page orientation in Microsoft Word. Tap anywhere in the document, and a menu appears. Then, tap Select All.
Bring up the full menu with editing options for Word, on the bottom part of the screen. To do that on Android, tap the up-pointing arrow on the bottom-right. On the iPhone or iPad, tap the three-point button above the keyboard.
Tap Home in the menu to open a drop-down with other editing options.
Choose Layout and tap on it.
Underneath, the Layout options, tap on Orientation.
Choose your desired page orientation: Portrait or Landscape. In our example, we selected Landscape.
The new page orientation applies immediately to your Word document. The same procedure applies for the reverse change.
IMPORTANT: Changing the orientation of a document in the Word mobile app for Android and iOS, is available only if you are an Office 365 subscriber. Otherwise, if you try to perform the steps we showed, you are told that you cannot use these features.
What made you change the orientation of your Microsoft Word document?
The page orientation for a Word document is driven by the content that you want to create. Microsoft Word sets the Portrait orientation by default, which ends up as the most commonly used. However, for a brochure or a calendar page, the Landscape orientation is a better design choice. Before closing this tutorial, tell us what motivated you to make page orientation changes. Comment below and let's discuss.
