Re: Repaginating landscape pages in a portrait-based document

[Rhea Tolman <rhea@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FrameMaker 7 has finally come up with one possible solution to 
this: You can now specify that certain para tags invoke specified 
master pages. The first use of Format > Page Layout > Apply Master 
Pages creates a special reference page with a table on it where 
you specify the master page/para tag correspondences. After that, 
you can use the same command again as needed, or choose Apply 
Master Pages when you generate/update. By cunning use of para 
tags, you can now ensure that material will always be associated 
with the right master page.
