How to do landscape mode in Pages

Try to create a landscape document in pages but even if I set the document to landscape in page set up when I come to edit the document and print preview it, it always shows as portrait! Frustrating!

Inspector - page - click page setup

Drop the circled menu down and hit manage custom sizes

Click the plus and make your page size

Buttons to switch from landscape to portrait and vice versa are the two in the middle picture.

Thanks for the screenshots Pardon, I've tried all of that but it still doesn't work. Just using powerpoint to make the poster now.

Ahhh I've worked it out now! I always clicked the man standing side ways because I thought the man standing up was portrait but actually it's the way I want it

When you make a custom paper size anyway, you enter the height and width so you just swap them round to make the sheet landscape or portrait.
