How to change orientation to a single page in Libreoffice Draw?

I tried everything on the internet, without luck.

As far as I know, in Draw it is not possible to have different page orientations within a file.

Is it still not possible to have different page orientations within a single DRAW file in October 2025?

Still not possible. Consider Draw is an auxiliary tool to create illustrations used in other more “general” components such as Writer or Impress.

I never produce documents exclusively with Draw. I usually create a Draw document as a store for all my illustrations. I select individual drawings (there can be several in a Draw “page”) and paste where appropriate in Writer. In fact, I really don’t care for the page size in Draw as long as it is large enough to hold my biggest drawing.

Is it possible in Impress? I mean to have different orientations for different pages.

Impress and Draw are basically the same program with different GUIs. So, slide “container” is the same for all master slides. You set properties for all slides (size, orientation, …). All you can do is add new master slides with different margins but this does not change the global format.

See Bug 49787 - Formatting: Allow different slide / page styles (orientation, size) in a single Drawing document
