I feel like talking to someone who doesn't try to listen. So this is my last
attempt (and then I won't continue trying to repeat what has been iterated many
times, just like Dieter did already).

You can manually break to *whatever* style. I feel like you just don't
understand the word "style", and repeat confusing a style (a bag of many
different settings that have a name) with some specific setting - namely
orientation. So - take a note: "Default" and "Landscape" are *styles* - two
bags of some page-related settings (each has page size, margins, orientation,
header/footer settings, etc). When you add a manual break, you may attach a
*style* to it - with all the settings in it. And each such style has its own
value of orientation, and you are free to modify it. You *DON'T* attach an
orientation to manual page break - you only attach styles!

"Default" page style is portrait by default. "Landscape" page style is
landscape by default. If you have modified "Default" to be landscape, then
please just also modify style named "Landscape" to have portrait orientation -
for consistency (of a kind), and just add manual breaks linked to "Landscape"
page style whenever you need portrait pages.
