I have a Word document with mixed portrait and landscape pages. The
landscape page prints in landscape mode but the content is formatted in a
portrait mode, thus "squishing" it into portrait margins. How can I set the
landscape page to print with landscape margins?


Normally, if you start with side margins that are different from the
top/bottom margins, and just click the Landscape orientation button,
Word swaps the measurements -- in other words, the size and shape of
the text area doesn't change, only the direction of the text and
graphics inside it changes. Is this not what you're seeing? Or is it
what you're seeing but not what you want?

To change it, with the cursor in the first landscape page, go to the
File Page Setup dialog. Make sure the "Apply to" box is set to "This
section", and change the margins as desired. Then move the cursor to
the next landscape page and press F4 to repeat the margin change.
Continue through the rest of the landscape pages.
