Steps:

Place your cursor at the very beginning of the page that you would like to flip to the landscape. (We work with page 2 in our example)
Then select “Layout” or “Page Layout” > “Breaks” > “Next Page” to create a section

Select the “Page Layout” tab and select “Orientation” > “Landscape“.

What this does is mark all or one page after the break you made in step 2 as the landscape in word. In our example, pages 2, 3, 4 and forward are in the landscape. Since we only want page 2 to display in the landscape, we will need to change any forward pages back to the portrait.

Place your cursor on at the beginning of the next page (page 3 in our example) or the next page you wish to remain in portrait.
Then select “Page Layout” > “Breaks” > “Next Page” just like in step 2 to create another section.
Select the “Page Layout” tab and select “Orientation” > “Portrait“. This will make the rest of the document display in portrait.

There you go! Now you have successfully made a single page landscape in Microsoft Word 2016 & 2013.
