That's incorrect, because you get a style that, in principle, is completely
different from Default PS. The only guarantee (assuming you haven't modified
it) is that the page orientation is landscape. What's worse - if you then
change the Default PS - the Landscape pages will not change, although you
reasonably expect them to.

When page styles inherit each other (bug 41316), and Landscape = "Default +
orientation:landscape" - then that would be an appropriate procedure.

Until that time, the procedure is:

1. Insert > Page Break
2. Set Format > Page Style > Page > Orientation to Landscape

and while this is DF - it at least preserves all of the Default Page Style's
other properties.

Ah, so, that's a different question. If you accept what I said above, let's
talk about what should be done in the mean time.
