Please give me the exact steps to follow in "Format --> Page --> Page" such
that I can set the first page to Landscape and proceeding pages to Portrait
with manual break
0. Do *not* follow "Format --> Page --> Page".
Let's think that we talk about some new document, which you have recently
created, and possibly added some text, but not yet modified anything
page-related.
1. Go to the very beginning of the document: Ctrl+Home.
2. Open paragraph properties: Format->Paragraph...
3. Go to "Text Flow" tab.
4. Check "[x] Insert" - "Type: Page" - "Position: Before" - "[x] With page
style: Landscape".
5. OK.
Oh geez Mike. No wonder I was having som many problems. How is the world
would a standard user realize that "Format --> Page --> Page" trashed your
default format and did not allow you to change to portrait? No one except a
developer like yourself would have thought to go to Format-->Paragraph.
You are right. This is not a bug. It is just really obscure and poorly
implemented.
How about changing this to a request for enhancement? Make "Format --> Page
--> Page" act like what someone would logically expect.
Format->Paragraph->Text Flow->Insert->Type: Page->Before->With page->style
Landscape". Seriously??? How in the world is anyone other than a developer
suppose to know this? Especially if they have used any other word processor
where Format->Page just sets the page's format and does not trash the default
style. Wow!
Thank you for your patience with this.
I am not touching the status with this post either.
