Nope.

Or if you have Acrobat (not just the free Reader), you can change the
orientation in the .pdf file.

Yes, I wasted an hour trying to figure out a better way before resorting to
rotating the pages. A real pain for thirty pages of two column layout,
particularly as the pages were mirrored layout which meant that I ended up
manually linking pages for text flow. This all seems very inconsistent, you
have been able to mix page orientations in a Word document for years, why not
in a Publisher document?

Because Publisher is Publisher and Word is Word. There are some things that
Publisher does better and some that Word does better. I like Word's table
functions but when it comes to inserting graphics, Word is the last program
I'd choose.

The work-a-round is rotate the contents of the page 90°.

While I'd certainly agree that it is a case of 'horses for courses' -
something of which I aften try to convince my students - I still consider
that this is something which certainly falls within the range of features one
might reasonably expect from a DTP package (probably more so than a
word-processor).

My point about inconsistency was addressing Microsoft's stated aim of
commonality between packages. Where different programs support similar
features it is expected (now) that they do so in a similar way. It is not
unreasonable to note that if the need for this feature were recognised by
Word's designers it might have passed on to Publisher somewhere along the
line.

By the way, totally agree about graphics in Word - horrible.

Publisher does better and some that Word does better. I like Word's table
