The first time the rep told me he'd email | me the instructions. He didn't. I called back and that tech told me | it's on the web in the knolwedgebase. That is based on 5.5 and we | have 6.0. | | The manual is not clear. When I set up master page and then rotate | page, I pull graphic in and it moves around to a non-rotated page. | When I move the graphic to the rotated page, the graphic rotates | yet again (so it is facing downward). | | I am new to Frame - (4 mos.) | | thanks for any help | | anna Anna - To create a landscape page, the steps to follow are: 1. View > Master Pages 2. Special > Add Master Page 3. in the New Master Page dialog, assign a name to the Master Page, and select the "empty" option* for the initial page layout. Note: This will create a portrait-oriented page. 4. Use the Format > Customized Layout > Rotate Page Clockwise command to switch to a landscape orientation (* or Counterclockwise -- it may depend on how your specific printer will output the turned page) 5. Finally, create the page elements as needed: tagged (template) text frames, untagged (header/footer) text frames, background graphics (e.g., logos, rules) You can also copy/paste these from other pages, and adjust the size and position as needed to fit the different orientation. * I find it clearer to generate a totally blank page, rotate it and then place the design elements on it, rather than copying the layout from an existing page, rotating the page, selecting the text frames & graphics, rotating them 180 degrees, and then having to readjust their sizes and positons. But that approch also works; it's a personal choice which method you find easier. However, I'm not sure this answers your question completely, as I don't follow your explanation of the behavior of the graphic turning when placed on the landscape page. -- Lester ---------------------------------------------------------------- Lester C.
