I'm reasoning from the perspective of having a multi page document, and want to rotate a single page. In Word (2003) I use File -> Page Properties. Next best thing is Format -> Page Styles -> Page tab (but that's certainly doing something different). The same mistake is even made in the Tabbed toolbar. Page portrait changes the default page style to portrait mode. So still the opinion that there must be; something to improve the current situation. I'm still not denying that the current workflow being consistent, from within the paradigm/concept. However it's not that easy to get. So enough potential get you annoyed/frustrated/mad. And the dialog must be build that way that it works out of the box without reading the manual/help as far as possible. The read the manual approach for Text Editor isn't the first thing I'm inclined to do. And the need for reading the manual for a simple page rotation (landscape). I would rather quick consider one of the competitors. And it's of course setting the tone for the whole application.. Ideally I would get a group of 100 volunteers testing the switching a single page in a document to portrait mode.. And see if the succeed and how much time it has taken them :-) Also you want to convert 'user from' different Word editors (if you want to grow). So GUI comparability might help. Still convinced something has to be changed :-). Next attempt: 1) First page paragraph style -> Set text flow /page break & apply Paragraph style 2) Press CTRL+Enter (page break) 3. Select the second page.. Right Click status bar/ page style & set it to Landscape -> Both pages change.. I would assume the page style would be set at the first page break The objection against this being?
