An answer from our mailing list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Personally, I'd use page styles to achieve that. I only got into OOo from version 1.1.3, but would be surprised if 1.1.2 doesn't have page styles. In the style list/navigator, the page icon (looks like a tiny page) will show you all the page styles available to you. I'd suggest creating a new one (call it 'landscape' perhaps), where you can set all the attributes for the style - orientation, margins etc. If it is based on the default style, the only thing you'll need to change is the orientation. Once you've made the new style, you just go to the page you want to make landscape, then in the style navigator, double click your new style for landscape pages. It will apply that page style only to the page your on. If you're not using styles to organise your documents, take a look at http://www.linuxjournal.com//article/7488 for (imho) a pretty good intro, or google "openoffice page styles". HTH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While the article mentioned is for the Linux operating system, the Window's version of OOo (OpenOffice.org) works the very same way. (I have used OOo on both operating systems.) Page styles are the way to do what you want. What you are using without knowing it is the Default Page Style. When you changed the page orientation (portrait to landscape) for one page, you change the Default Page Style. That is what changed the orientation for all your pages. I would also recommend you use this link: http://documentation.openoffice.org. It contains manuals etc. for OOo. There is a very good chapter on styles listed.
