Page format - Landscape & Portrait - in one "Publisher 2007" docum

[Stijn]

Dear all,

I would like to set-up a different page format (landscape) in my document
holding the other pages in the same document in Portrait. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,
Stijn

Unfortunately it can't be done the same way you can in Word. You create a
separate publication with the different orientation. You can either end up
with two files or you could "select all", group, copy, paste the original
document, and then rotate it to suit. That's what I would do because I
wouldn't want to deal with two files but that's just my preference. You may
not want to copy, group, paste, rotate, and do the hokey-pokey. :-)

This is correct. Publisher does not support sectioning publications the
way Word does; a publication's page format applies to the whole
document.

There is, however, a little-known "hack-around" using Publisher features
that will let you have the EFFECT you desire; it is not often used or
discussed because it makes things harder to work with. Essentially,
rotate all pictures and drawings by 90° clockwise (so that the top of
the picture is to the right); for text boxes, FORMAT > TEXT BOX > select
the Text Box tab, and check the checkbox that says "Rotate text within
AutoShape by 90°". The hack-around also works in Publisher 2010, though
the access path is slightly different (Publisher 2010 has the Ribbon
interface).

don't make it that complicated

I don't believe Publisher will let you do that kind of format switch in
the middle of a document.

There are two ways I can see to get the effect. The first is to make
the landscape section a separate document. This is doable (and I've
done things like it) if the output is PDFs that will go to a printer,
and you can tell the printer where things get placed in the finished
book. It *does* create a challenge if you are trying to apply
consecutive page numbers through Publisher.

The alternative is to use Publisher's ability to rotate elements on a
page, so the end result is a page laid out as though it were landscape
in a portrait document. That's a time consuming pain to do and get
right, but can be done. See

It can be done! :-D The trick is to click on the page you want to change. Double-click the page number footer. Click on the "Apply To" icon in the Master Page section. Click "Apply to Current Page". Move the page number footer to the landscape location then click "Apply to Current Page" again. This will make the change to 1 page if you have a 1-page view and will make the change to both left and right pages if you have the 2-page view. You can only do this once within the file, so you will need to duplicate the page if you need it in another page.
