Landscape orientation is ideal for documents that contain wide tables, large graphics, or big charts. In this mode, the width of the page is greater than its height, providing more horizontal space for your content.
How to Change a Single Page to Landscape in Google Docs
If you only need to change one page of your document to landscape orientation, follow these steps to achieve the desired layout without altering the orientation of other pages.
Step 1: Go to Google Docs Home Page
As an initial step, navigate to docs.google.com. If you are not signed in using your Gmail Account, then log first into your Gmail account.
Step 2: Create a New Document or Open an Existing One
Open a new Blank Document or existing document from the list of recent documents. For this article, we will be creating a new Blank document. Click on the "+" just above "Blank document" as highlighted in the image below.
Now, you should be able to see a new Blank document created. It will look as the one shown in the image below.
Step 3: From the Top Menu, click File and Select Page Setup
Now as in the image below, click on File and then Page Setup from the top menu bar to open the Page Setup dialog box
Step 4: Change the Orientation from "Portrait" to "Landscape"
Switch to Landscape by clicking it. Make it your default by clicking "Set as default." All docs will be in Landscape. Click "OK" to apply.
Now you will see that the orientation of the currently opened document has been changed to "Landscape".
Now, try creating another blank document and you will notice that its default orientation will be "Landscape", if you clicked "Set as default" after clicking "Landscape" as mentioned in the steps above.
