When in doubt, use styles. You should use two page styles:
portrait, and landscape. You will need to create them using the
Styles and Formating window (use F11 key to open this window). Click
the Page Styles icon at the top, right click Default, and select New.
Make the changes you want, and click OK.
A more complete explanation and probably the one you really need
is found in one of the two Styles chapters in the Writer Guide for
OOo 2.0 written by OOo Author. The Writer Guide is listed at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/.
