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. mathieu jacquet wrote: > P.S.: you're of a much better disposition than some who can't bear > questions about already resolved issues...;o) 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.

Re: Inserting a landscape page within a portrait layout document
Hi Mathieu No need to apologize, you're not disturbing anyone here on this list. ;-) You can do one of the following to insert landscape pages: - Choose *Format > Customize Layout > Rotate Page Clockwise* (or Counterclockwise) - Split up your file and put the files in a FrameMaker book. Create separate files for the landscape pages and insert these at the relevant positions in your FrameMaker book. This is a bit more work in the beginning, but it's also a safer option for future updates.
