FW: Master Pages - landscape and portrait pages
I have a book that has a rotated landscape master page and uses system variables that are on other pages, but headers & footers are not rotated. I have rotated only the main text flow frame by selecting it on the master page and then selecting Graphics > Rotate (Rotate by 90 deg clockwise).

You don't need to do that. You need to create a new master page and rotate it (Format > Customize Layout > Rotate), then add a text frame to it as well as header/footer frames if you need those. Then apply that master to your body page. Caveats: If your rotated page's flow is the same as your body flow, then future edits can screw up which content appears on the landscape page. It is often best to create a separate file for the landscape material; you can make it act like part of the previous and following chapter files by setting all their numbering properties correctly. Alternatively, if you stay in a single chapter file, you can put a distinctive pgf tag on your landscape material and use the Apply Master Pages feature to ensure that content is given the right master page.

Master Pages - landscape and portrait pages
Dear Texan Scriber, Although I am an Oklahoman, I will respond! I do this a lot in my documents. 1.) View your master pages. 2.) Add a new master page. Call it Landscape (natch!). Don't base it on an empty page - base it on the Right master page. 3.) On the newly named Landscape page, select Format > Customize > Layout > Rotate Page and rotate the page 90 degrees CW. 4.) Next, you will need to rotate the contents on the page. I typically delete the Header and the Footer (because I can make new ones later) and shrink down the main text column so that I can access the handles on the edge of the main text column. Then I select the main text column and then select Rotate > Graphics and the rotate the it CCW. (Trust me - I know it sounds weird, but you will see why rotating in the opposite direction helps. This makes sure that the flow symbols on each of the text columns (main and headers and footers) are on the upper left corner of the page.) 5.) Resize the main text column. 6.) Re-add your headers and footers.
