template with different margins for landscape pages

S

I have a template that needs completely different margins for portrait and
landscape pages. The idea is for my end users to put in a "Next Page Section
Break", change the set up to landscape (or portrait accordingly) and have the
margins populate automatically. I was told that by including a (blank)
landscape page in my template that it would happen automatically but this
solution is not working.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There's no way to automate this without using macros. The suggested method
is right as far as it goes, but it's not automatic -- it relies on the user
moving the landscape page to the correct location and working around it (so
to speak).

Thank you for filling in the blanks. My other source neglected to provide
that important information.
Have a good day.

I have tried this in the past and it has worked, on and off.

I arrange a landscape section in the template and created an AutoText of it.

Then when the template is opened, with the cursor in the correct place,
Insert | AutoText | LandscapeSection (or whatever you call it).

Obviously watch out for Same As Previous Header & Footers in your template.
Please reply so I know if this works for you.
Best of luck
