Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I change page orientation for only ONE page in Writer?
Open the Styles and Formating window. (Use the F11 key to do this.) In the row of tools at the top of this window, click the Page Styles (fourth from the left.) Default should be highlighted. Insert a page break: Insert > Manual Break. Page Break will be selected. If it is not, click it. Below this is the Style drop down list. Open this list, and select Landscape from it. Click OK. If the next page already exists and you want it to be portrait, you will have to create another page break at the bottom of the Landscape page to change the page style back to Default. If the next page does not exist yet: Right click the Landscape page style and select Modify from the context menu. Click the Organizer tab. The Next Style box has Landscape as the default next style. Change Landscape to Default. Click OK. When you complete the Landscape page, Writer will automatically make the next page Portrait. Doing this is all about styles. The Writer Guide explains how to do this and has screenshots to help in the explanation. It is a good reference any number of problems that may appear when using Writer. --Dan On Sat, 2012-02-04 at 10:30 +0100, Daniel Wibbing wrote: > Hi Konstantinos, > > you could convert the page of which you want to change the orientation into a > Title page: > Format/ Tilte Page … / Convert existing pages to title pages / Place title > pages at page 3 (e.g.) / Edit Page Properties /Orientation Landscape > However when I tried this, the first page of the document would also change > its orientation.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I change page orientation for only ONE page in Writer?
Hi Konstantinos, you could convert the page of which you want to change the orientation into a Title page: Format/ Tilte Page … / Convert existing pages to title pages / Place title pages at page 3 (e.g.) / Edit Page Properties /Orientation Landscape However when I tried this, the first page of the document would also change its orientation. I don't know how to switch this off. Does that help you in any way?

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Page orientation is a property of page styles - so if all your pages have the same page style they will all have the same orientation. If you change it, the change will apply to all pages. Perhaps all your pages have the Default (portrait) page style. There is a built-in Landscape page style which has the other orientation and may suit your purpose. o Put the cursor at the end of the last portrait page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select "Page break". o Under Style, select Landscape from the drop-down list. o Now put the cursor at the end of the single landscape page. o Go to Insert | Manual Break... . o Under Type, select "Page break". o Under Style, select Default from the drop-down list. Each page break is associated with a change in page style: from Default to Landscape and back again. If these built-in page styles do not suffice, you can modify them or even create your own, of course. I trust this helps. Brian Barker And make sure not to use keyboard shortcut +. This will not give you options descbribed above. cK -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] How do I change page orientation for only ONE page in Writer?
Hi :) Both pages are about the same for the 3.3.x branch. The wiki-page does have the more recent 3.4.x branch documentation and a couple of chapters about Base but it only has individual chapters, not a complete book anywhere. One of the chapters for Base is a rough work-in-progress rather than completely finished. For the Dvd it might be best to stick with the 3.3.x branch for now. I guess if you do have chapters separately then maybe it might be worth having those separate ones as the newer versions but that would make them unlike the copies you have in the completed books. So it might just confuse people. Just my 2cents and contradiction.
