1. What is the difference between portrait and landscape mode?

Portrait mode means that the shorter side of the paper runs horizontally, while landscape mode means that the longer side of the paper runs horizontally. The choice between portrait and landscape mode depends on the content of the document and the available space on the paper. For example, a report with a lot of text and few graphics may be better suited for portrait mode, while a chart or graph may be better suited for landscape mode.
