How can I set the orientation of a single page in a multi-page document in Word 2007-2010?
How can I rotate (or insert) a single page into an Office Word document that is oriented differently that the other pages? I know this can be done. I've seen in done in Word 2003 and older documents but figuring this out for Office 2007 (and greater) eludes me.

This can be a bit confusing since the Word 2007+ context menu on your document is a bit useless. Regardless, changing the orientation of a single document is simple if you know where to look.
Follow the steps listed below to rotate a single page in your document.
- First, place your cursor on the page that you would like to rotate. If you want to insert a new page, you will need to first insert a page break, or two, to create a blank page.
- Next, Click on the Page Layout ribbon header.
- Contrary to what you would expect, do not click on the Orientation option. Instead, click on the little lower-right-pointing arrow at the bottom of the Page Setup section.
- This will open the Page Setup dialog. On this screen, set your orientation as desired and set the Apply to field to "Selected text".
- Click OK. Your single page should now be rotated to the layout that you desire.
