How to change the page orientation on one page in publication

I'm working on a publication and I need to change the page orientation to
landscape on several pages, but not the entire document. How would I do that?
Thanks,

You can't in the way you're thinking. However............you can start a new
document in landscape, layout the page you need, select all, group it, copy
it, and then paste it into the portrait oriented document. Rotate it 90°.
(You can ungroup if you need to move anything around individually after it's
been inserted into the target document.)

We kind of get used to thinking one way and when we can't do something that
way, we get frustrated. Sometimes you just have to take half a step back and
look at another way. :)

Does anyone know how to accomplish this with Publisher 2003? I could not get
these instructions to work.

The same way. You can't rotate just one page but you can lay it out in a
separate publication the way you want it. Select all of it, group it, copy
and paste it into the final layout and then rotate it 90°.
