Hi,
I just bought MS Word 2004 for my mac and have been writing on my
masters thesis now for a while. I would need to get one page in the
middle landscaped while all others are normal. But when I do this (after
tweaking a whole lot, because you have to change "from this point
forward" twice to get one page in the middle landscaped) the
pagenumbering changes. It starts from the beginning. My numbering goes
1,2,3..25 and then the landscaped is 1 again and then the following
normal pages are 1,2,3,4,...

Any way around this? Any easy way to landscape a page because if I just
landscape a page, the margins will also be wrong...

Fred.
 
Some basic info, if necessary--changing orientation requires a section
break, and numbers are automatically set to restart each section.
If you view Headers/Footers, you can use the Format Page Number icon on the
H/F toolbar to set the section numbering to continue from last section.

If you first insert the section breaks before and after the page you want
landscaped, you can go to the Format | Document menu only once, and set the
landscape orientation and margins for "this section only".

Also note that if you have crashing, misbehaving, etc questions, rather than
internal manipulation of Word questions, there are Mac-specific newsgroups:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups>

If you are continuing past your masters, post back if you are interested in
learning more about how to control Word--some investment of time at the
beginning of a big project (e.g., dissertation) can save formatting hassles
later.
