10 steps to change a vertical page to horizontal orientation?

Weren't electronics supposed to make things better?

Wow,

I can do it in fewer than ten. Will that do?

Orientation is a property of page styles. So your horizontal page 
needs a different page style from the other pages. You can create 
your own or you could use the default Landscape page style, possibly 
with your own modifications.

Now how to apply this page style to just your single page:
o At the end of the previous page, go to Insert | Manual Break... .
o Select "Page break" and select Landscape (or whatever you have 
created) from the drop-down menu under Style.
o If other portrait pages need to follow your landscape page, repeat 
the process with another manual page break after the landscape page, 
setting the page style back to whatever it was (or another portrait style).

There: I'm not up to ten yet!

They do. But they don't do your work for you. And you do have to 
learn. Did you read "Changing page orientation within a document" and 
in particular "Inserting a landscape page into a portrait document" 
in Chapter 4: "Formatting Pages" of the Writer Guide (which describes 
a slightly different technique)? See
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/OOo3.3_User_Guide_Chapters 
.

>Wow,

Really?

I trust this helps.
