How to set different orientations for pages in ASP.NET Core Word?

The Word document is a flow document in which contents will not be preserved page by page. Instead, the contents will be preserved sequentially section by section. Each section may extend to various pages based on its contents, such as tables, text, images, etc.

Syncfusion .NET Word Library (DocIO) is a non-UI component that provides a full-fledged document object model to manipulate the Word document contents. Therefore, to use both portrait and landscape orientations in the same document, you need to maintain the content in different sections. This way, you can set different orientations for different sections.

Steps to set different orientations for each page in Word document using C#:

1. Create a new C# .NET Console application project.
   
   
2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.
   
   

3. Include the following namespaces in Program.cs file.
   C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.DocIO; 

4. Use the following code snippet in Program.cs file, to set different orientations for each page in Word document.
   C#

//Open an existing document
using (FileStream inputStream = new FileStream(@"../../../Data/Template.docx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
   using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(inputStream, FormatType.Docx))
   {
       //Set different orientations
       document.Sections[0].PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait;
       document.Sections[1].PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;
       document.Sections[2].PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait;
       document.Sections[3].PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;

       //Save the Word document
       using (FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(@"../../../Output.docx", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
       {
           document.Save(outputStream, FormatType.Docx);
       }
   }
} 

You can download a complete working sample to set different orientations for each page in Word document from GitHub.

Take a moment to peruse the documentation where you can find basic Word document processing options along with the features like mail merge, merge, split, and compare documents, find and replace text in the Word document, protect the Word documents, and most importantly, the PDF and Image conversions with code examples.
