Can a page break be used to control orientation for a single page in a document?

A page break is a formatting tool used to end a page and begin a new one. However, it does not control page orientation, which refers to the layout of the page as either portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal). Orientation settings are applied to the entire document or to sections within a document when using section breaks.

To control the orientation of a single page, a section break is necessary. A section break allows for different formatting options, including headers, footers, margins, and orientation, to be applied to the section. This means that if you want one page in landscape orientation while the rest of the document is in portrait, you need to insert a section break before and after the page that you wish to change, thus enclosing that page in its own distinct section with different attributes.

Using print settings does not apply to orientation changes associated with just one page within a document; it manages print options for the entire document as printed. Therefore, a page break alone cannot change the orientation for just one page, making it important to understand the role of section breaks for such formatting needs.
