RESOLVED: Inserting a landscape page within a portrait layout document
Thank you Yves, that looks fine. I'm trying it right now! Have a nice day, Mathieu.

Hi all, and sorry for the disturbance. I know this one has been dealt with a number of time, but I cannot perform a proper search in the Framers Archives (the site seems in maintenance). We work with Frame 6.0 on Unix and would like to insert a number of landscape pages within a document whose layout is exclusively "portrait". How should we proceed?

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: RESOLVED: Inserting a landscape page within a portrait layout document
Vendor post but not very vendor-y As you know, MadCap Software is offering a series of free, typically tool-neutral, webinars. There’s still time to sign up for the next one, offered Jan 29 at 9am Pacific time. Mike Hamilton is talking about Advanced Publishing in Flare or Blaze. If that time and date don’t work for you, sign up anyway and you will be sent a link to the recorded webinar the next day. We’re recording the free webinars and making them available from our website. Keep an eye on http://www.madcapsoftware.com/demos/webinars.aspx for all our upcoming free webinars. These free webinars are very successful, so we plan on offering them for a while. If you want to update your knowledge of the Tech Comm field, these webinars may help. If you’re interested in presenting a topic to the field, contact me and let’s discuss your idea. If you have a topic you’d like to see, also contact me and let’s talk about it. Currently, I’m looking for someone to cover creating API docs and someone to cover creating visuals from technical content for webinars in the May/June time period. You don’t need be in the US but you do need a computer with a microphone for the VoIP to present. Microphone headsets can be purchased for less than $40US.
