I have a report set up in landscape layout. My report doesn't fit on a
standard paper and I do not want to use legal paper. So my report is
mutlitple pages. Is there a way to break a report vertically instead of
horizontally?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The only way I can think of, is to set your report up with carefully selected
left-right margins, and carefully select where you place things/size about the
division.

There is nothing anything like what you ask for.

It is possible to pre-place a report on multiple pages, for instance by using
a sub-form for each "page", held in a "master form".

Whatever you do, if the "pages" are extensible and not pre-set, the result
could be anything (and likely different on different printers).

Whether vertical or horizontal, design the "overrun" to do what you want it
to. MS-Access handles verticle overrun a bit better, but not comprehensively.

In in-built Access methods, no, as you found.
