How is the world would a standard user realize that "Format --> Page --> Page" trashed your default format and did not allow you to change to portrait? No one except a developer like yourself would have thought to go to Format-->Paragraph. You are right. This is not a bug. It is just really obscure and poorly implemented. How about changing this to a request for enhancement? Make "Format --> Page --> Page" act like what someone would logically expect. Format->Paragraph->Text Flow->Insert->Type: Page->Before->With page->style Landscape". Seriously??? How in the world is anyone other than a developer suppose to know this? Especially if they have used any other word processor where Format->Page just sets the page's format and does not trash the default style. Wow! Thank you for your patience with this. I am not touching the status with this post either. -T</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
