Great, thanks John. 
I thought it was one of the those odd issues that hadn't been catered for in LO 
keeping the DOCX format correctly and i was thinking it needed a bug report as 
well.

This is not a question of file format (DOCX or whatever); it's a question of 
having multiple page styles (at least one portrait style and one landscape 
style) in the document. You just need to specify both styles, according to use 
and when you make a page break from one style to the other, do so explicitly:
