Re: [libreoffice-users] Problems Rotating Multi-line Text in Tables [Revisited]

Hi :)
I managed to get it so that every odd-numbered page was in landscape
but all the even ones were portraight by using
Format - Page
Would it be easier to solve this puzzle that way?  Unfortunately i
couldn't get it so that a random selection of pages were in landscape
but i only fiddled with it for about 5mins.  Is it possible to have 2
page-styles?  One for making the images pages into landscape and the
other for the rest of the pages?
Regards from
Tom :)
