By default, the headers and footers in Word are the same on each page. For reports or booklets, you often want something different on the left and right side of the document. There is a different method to delete or change a header or footer on a single page. Adding page numbers? Read Add different page numbers in different sections.
Normally, pages in a Word document have either a portrait or a landscape orientation. You might think that you can’t mix and match these two orientations in the same document, but you can indeed have both–here’s how.
In a Microsoft Word document, place your cursor at the start of the page that you want to change to landscape.
Select Layout > Breaks > Next Page to place a section break where you had your cursor.
Make sure your cursor is still at the start of that page, and go to the Orientation option. Select landscape, and you’ll notice how everything after our section break has changed to horizontal.
All you have to do now is go to the next page, insert another break, change the orientation back to portrait, and there you have it!

I am afraid this 'hint' is simply incorrect. I have old Word 3/4 documents from 1988/1989 that Word 2011 (or Word 2008 for that matter) is simply unable to open, no matter which option I choose. When I try to open them, Word throws a 'Convert File' dialog box asking me to choose a file format to convert from, but 'Word 3 document' and 'Word 4 document' are not listed as options and 'Rich Text Format' does not work.
There is also an option called 'Recover text from any file' (which is apparently a file format in MS's parlance) but it fails to preserve accented characters, so even that option is useless. For such files, my only option is to force-open them in TextEdit, which at least preserves the accents. (Take that, Microsoft.)
Word 2011 is indeed able to open Word 5 documents, but not via double-click or drag-and-drop. You are obliged to go through the Open File dialog box for each file. If you make sure that the file name includes '.doc', you don't have to use any special options to open them. (Be aware, however, that some Word 5 documents will cause Word 2011 to crash or freeze, presumably because of the nature of some of their contents, so you have no guarantee here either.)
Microsoft's inability to support its own older file formats is scandalous, but we are used to such disregard for usability and data integrity from the world's biggest software developers, I am afraid.
In light of these shortcomings in Word 2011 and Lion's lack of support for older versions of Word, I made sure to convert all my older Word documents before upgrading to Lion:
