In any case, performing a selection is irrelevant and the line is not needed. Again, we have no idea what rngDoc.Select() is actually doing, since we have no context. If it should be applied only to the new section then that section needs to be specified. (You don't actually specify what is assigned to rngDoc, but the behavior you describe indicates it's the entire document.) = WdOrientation.wdOrientLandscape The problem is coming from this line, which I assume is directing Word to apply the page orientation to the entire document. The page orientation on the second page should now be in landscape, with the first and last pages remaining in portrait.Inserting a section break is a good first step - that's required.

For example, when inserting a table which is too wide for portrait pages. The standard page orientation in Microsoft Word is portrait, which is completely adequate for conventional writing, however, there are times when you may need to introduce the odd landscape page within the same document.
