<section end=question/>

<section begin=answer/>
In your open document in {{AOo}}: 

# Open the Styles and Formatting window {{key|F11}} (or choose {{menu|Format|Styles and Formatting}}).
# Click on the ''Page Styles'' icon (fourth icon from left).

If the list of page styles contains the selection ''Landscape'', then select ''Landscape'' and proceed to create your document.

If the list of page styles does NOT contain the selection ''Landscape'', then proceed as follows:

# ''Default'' may already be highlighted; if not, then select ''Default''. Right-click on ''Default'' to see the context menu and select ''New''. 
# In the dialog that appears, give the new page style a descriptive name, e.g. Landscape.
# Click on the ''Page'' tab and change the page orientation to Landscape by clicking on the corresponding radio button. You may also make other changes to the page style, if needed (such as adjusting the margin sizes).
# Click ''OK''. The new style will appear as one of the page style choices.
# Choose Landscape from the list of page styles.

The displayed page should now exhibit the new page style.
