How do I insert a Landscape page into my (portrait) document?


In your open document in OpenOffice.org:

  1. Open the Styles and Formatting window  F11  (or choose Format → Styles and Formatting).
  2. Click on the Page Styles icon (fourth icon from left).
  3. Default should already be highlighted. Right-click to see the context menu and select New.
  4. In the dialog that appears, give the new page style a descriptive name, e.g. Landscape.
  5. Click on the Page tab and change the page orientation to Landscape by clicking on the corresponding radio button. You may also make other changes to the page style, if needed (such as adjusting the margin sizes).
  6. Click  OK . The new style will appear as one of the page style choices.
  7. Place the text cursor in your document at the location where you want to insert the Landscape page.
  8. Choose Insert → Manual Break.
  9. In the dialog that appears, select Page Break and in the Style list, select your new page style, e.g. Landscape.
  10. Click  OK .

To end the Landscape area and return to Portrait in your document:

  1. Place the text cursor in your document at the location where the page style should switch back.
  2. Select Insert → Manual Break.
  3. In the dialog that appears, select Page Break and in the Style list, select the previous page style, e.g. Default.
  4. Click  OK .
