Another approach that might work for you is to make the landscape pages the default left/right master pages and the handful of portrait pages be the manually-assigned non-default cases. Once this is set up, the only time you'd have to futz with it is if the number of introductory portrait pages changes; the number of landscape pages can expand or contract as necessary with no further attention because they use the default. -FR _________________________________________________________________ Keep your kids safer online with Windows Live Family Safety. http://www.windowslive.com/family_safety/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_family_safety_052008
