1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,373
Your Google Doc has a portrait summary, a wide comparison table,

2
00:00:04,373 --> 00:00:05,934
and portrait action notes.

3
00:00:05,934 --> 00:00:10,227
Making the whole document landscape wastes space on the surrounding pages.

4
00:00:10,227 --> 00:00:13,739
Google Docs supports mixed orientation in a Pages document.

5
00:00:13,739 --> 00:00:18,032
We will isolate the table in its own section, change only

6
00:00:18,032 --> 00:00:22,715
that section to landscape, and verify all three pages after the adjustment.

7
00:00:23,315 --> 00:00:27,620
The practice file describes a fictional workshop note with summary, wide

8
00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:29,185
table, and action notes.

9
00:00:29,185 --> 00:00:33,882
Create a new Google Doc with those three pieces on separate pages.

10
00:00:33,882 --> 00:00:38,579
Use Pages format, because mixed page orientation is unavailable in pageless mode.

11
00:00:38,579 --> 00:00:42,884
Keep a copy of the original before inserting section breaks so

12
00:00:42,884 --> 00:00:47,581
you can compare the text and ensure nothing vanishes during layout changes.

13
00:00:48,181 --> 00:00:51,924
Insert a section break before the wide table and another after

14
00:00:51,924 --> 00:00:53,966
it, using Insert, Break, Section break.

15
00:00:53,966 --> 00:00:58,050
A next-page section break is useful when each part should begin

16
00:00:58,050 --> 00:00:59,412
on a separate page.

17
00:00:59,412 --> 00:01:03,836
Turn on View, Show section breaks if you need to see the boundaries.

18
00:01:03,836 --> 00:01:07,580
This gives the table a section that can have its own

19
00:01:07,580 --> 00:01:09,962
orientation instead of changing the whole document.

20
00:01:10,562 --> 00:01:13,015
Click inside the wide-table section.

21
00:01:13,015 --> 00:01:17,511
Open File, Page setup, choose Pages if needed, then choose Landscape.

22
00:01:17,511 --> 00:01:22,008
In the Apply to control, select This section, not Whole document

23
00:01:22,008 --> 00:01:24,869
or This section forward. Confirm the dialog.

24
00:01:24,869 --> 00:01:29,365
Google also offers a context command to change the orientation of

25
00:01:29,365 --> 00:01:34,271
selected content, but the section route gives a clear boundary to verify.

26
00:01:34,871 --> 00:01:37,121
Inspect the document from top to bottom.

27
00:01:37,121 --> 00:01:40,658
The summary page should remain taller than it is wide, the

28
00:01:40,658 --> 00:01:44,195
table page should be wider than it is tall, and the

29
00:01:44,195 --> 00:01:46,446
action-notes page should return to portrait.

30
00:01:46,446 --> 00:01:49,982
Recheck the table columns for clipping, and make sure the text

31
00:01:49,982 --> 00:01:53,198
after the second break did not join the landscape section.

32
00:01:53,198 --> 00:01:57,056
The page after the table is a key part of this test.

33
00:01:57,656 --> 00:02:01,789
If the entire document changed, reopen Page setup while the cursor

34
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:05,170
sits in the middle section and inspect Apply to.

35
00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:10,430
Whole document will affect every page; This section forward will also affect later pages.

36
00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:13,059
Use This section, then verify both boundaries.

37
00:02:13,059 --> 00:02:17,192
If the section option is missing, check that the document is

38
00:02:17,192 --> 00:02:21,325
in Pages format and that section breaks actually surround the table.

39
00:02:21,925 --> 00:02:25,910
The answer file describes a simple pass condition: portrait, landscape,

40
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:30,293
portrait, in that order, with the wide table in the middle.

41
00:02:30,293 --> 00:02:35,075
The downloaded CSV is a planning outline, not a preformatted Google Doc.

42
00:02:35,075 --> 00:02:39,459
On a real report, inspect its exported PDF as well, because

43
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:42,647
pagination can shift with fonts and table width.

44
00:02:42,647 --> 00:02:47,030
The orientation setting is correct only when neighboring pages remain readable.
