Subject:Re: "landscape" page in FrameMaker document From:Kathryn Marshall <kmarshall -at- MODACAD -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 8 Oct 1997 12:30:48 -0700
Here's one possible solution:
1) Create a new master page (Format-->Page Layout-->New Master Page).
2) Rotate the master page (Format-->Customize Layout-->Rotate Page).
3) Go back to your body pages.
4) Add a new page and apply the new master page (Format-->Page
Layout-->Master Page Usage).
5) Select the column (on the rotated page) and rotate it back to an
upright (normal) position; then resize it manually (note: do Note choose
rotate page; use the Graphics-->Rotate option).
6) Type in your text and/or import graphics.
7) Print.
Note: You may have to play around with the placement of the
manually-sized column. But I think this might work.
Maybe someone else can offer something less convoluted (like create a
book and break up the files into regular pages and rotated pages.)
