I'm so frustrated!!! It should not be this difficult to create a document with both portrait and landscape orientations in it. This is simple to do in Word. While I appreciate OpenOffice, I just can't understand why it will not do this simple task. I read that I could:
1) place a manual page break at the spot where I wanted the different page orientation;
2) go to the spot where I needed it to change back and basically do the same thing;
3) then change back to default.
This is NOT working. It either changes the entire document to portrait or landscape, doesn't keep the change where I am putting it.
Can anyone help me? Or does this program just NOT do this?
Deadline I won't make because I can't do this! If you can help quickly, I'll greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

You must create and apply different Page Styles.

By barking the limits of the page orientation change with inserted page breaks you are on the correct track. Change the page style used for the horizontal pages to some different style from the surrounding pages - there is a predefined "Landscape" style.

Re: Portrait and Landscape Orientation in one doc
Not quite. Simply inserting a manual page break keeps the same page style for the next page. Since the page orientation is defined in the page style, the next page will also keep the same orientation. When you insert the manual page break, there is an option on the Break dialog to change the page style to a different page style where you can change the page orientation without affecting pages before the page break.valewmo11 wrote:1) place a manual page break at the spot where I wanted the different page orientation;

Re: Portrait and Landscape Orientation in one doc
See attached file. You need to insert the Landscape Page Style after a page break. Go Insert > Manual break > select Page break and set Landscape.
After you have finished with landscape, insert another page break and use the Default portrait page style. Formatting pages is described in Chapter 4.
