Make Google Docs Landscape Format
Many people think Google Docs is limited when it comes to style and format, but it’s easy to switch Google Docs to landscape format. You just need to know which menu options change the document format to landscape. It’s also possible to make landscape formatting the default format for your Google Docs documents. If you have an existing document saved in Google Docs and want to reformat it into landscape, the following steps do that.
Set Landscape Format as the Google Docs Default
If you want documents in Google Docs to open in Landscape mode automatically, set Landscape as the default format. You can do this in the step above where you’re enabling Landscape mode by selecting Set as default before clicking OK to save. Now, any time you open a new document in Google Docs, it starts out in Landscape mode. If you want to switch it back to Portrait mode, you’ll need to follow the same steps as above, but enable Portrait instead of Landscape.
Workaround to Print Landscape and Portrait in Google Docs
There’s no way to alternate page formats in Google Docs. However, there is a workaround so that if you plan to print or convert the document to PDF, you can print pages in alternating formats.
