Usability... no clue on that one. But all you need to do is create
additional master pages using a landscape layout and then apply the
master pages to the necessary body pages. You certainly don't need to
insert files or use separate templates to do this.

Not too long ago, there was some discussion about having a landscape page in
a book of otherwise portrait pages. The concensus seemed to be that although it
can be done by inserting a separate file for the landscape pages and adjusting
the page numbering settings accordingly, it doesn't fit good usability models.
My gut tells me it's a proverbial Pandora's box.
Well, now we've got the same issue: someone says a secondary audience (internal) for the doc in
question want to see all the alarm info in one big landscape table, rather than chunked in ways
that facilitate presenting on a portrait page. Our primary audience is external customers. And the
"someone" is a Word user who likes to "cowboy" the formatting, regardless of
what's in the templates. So, before I spend the time to develop a landscape template and train the
writers on when it's OK to use it and how to make it function, could someone please tell me where I
could find some sound usability studies that weigh in on either side of this issue?
