Changing the layout of one page in an entire document

[Kay Schulz]

Hi
I do have another question:
I have the layout defined for the entire document.
The layout is A4 portrait (I think it is called in english)
Now, because I have to make addendums.
Some of them I want to make landscape, because
it is a scanned doc or a wide excel etc.
How can I configure word, to make this one page
landscape?
I also want to keep the header footer as before and
I also want to keep the chapter title.
Thanks
Kay

It appears John beat me to the punch on this one

Just one more point to add to his advice - don't be surprised if you have
difficulty printing the doc once you get this done. It isn't unusual for
this type of layout to be interpreted as 'multiple docs' - the section
breaks recognized as end of document - by some printers, so you may have to
print in page groupings. IOW, if necessary - say the landscape page is p.6
of 10 - you may have to print p.1-5, then print 6, then print 7-10.

BTW - the same is true if you use section breaks for changing margins from
one section to another, especially if the margin changes occur on the same
page. It's far better in my experience to use left & right indents.

Good Luck |:>)

Hi
thanks
Would it make sense, in your eyes, tu put the addendum to a new document
and print the content and the addendum separatedly and handle them
separately?

I'll try to answer that. No, keep it together. Only if you print to PDF
or double sided on a single sided printer by passing the paper through
twice will you have problems. At other times, the separate jobs print
in the right order and will stack up neatly in the output tray.

If you print to PDF, collect the three output files and join them up
with a freeware program like PDFLab.

The joined up PDF can be used to fix the double sided problem. But that
is probably more than you want to know for now.
