The first option can be made much more robust and flexible with a bit more work
in the beginning, too.
Instead of just rotating body pages ad hoc as needed, create rotated custom
master pages (LandscapeLeft and LandscapeRight might be good names). In FM 7.x
or higher, you could assign these master pages based on specific paragraph
tags, but IIRC, FM6 didn't have that feature. There are, however, scripts
and/or plugins that will do it. If this is a one-time thing, it probably isn't
worth it, but if there is a recurring need, automating this would be a good
idea.

With some of us, it just depends on our level of caffeination. Too early is not
good, but too late is risky, too. ;-)
But without intending any criticism of your question, I can help with the
archive search problem. Don't use the FrameUsers site, use Google. You can
restrict a Google search to the FrameUsers list by entering a search string
like this:
landscape pages site:lists.frameusers.com
Try that one, and I think you'll find several of the 76 hits quite relevant.
HTH!
