Challenge 2: One Landscape Page Inside a Portrait Report — Solution Walkthrough

Setup needed: TWO section breaks, both "Next Page" type.

  1. Place the cursor at the very end of page 3 (immediately before
     where page 4's content begins) and insert a Next Page section
     break. This closes off Section 1 (pages 1-3, portrait) and
     opens Section 2, starting on page 4.
  2. Place the cursor at the very end of page 4's content (immediately
     before page 5 would begin) and insert a second Next Page section
     break. This closes off Section 2 (just page 4) and opens Section
     3 (pages 5-6, portrait).

Result: three sections — Section 1 (pages 1-3), Section 2 (page 4
only), Section 3 (pages 5-6).

Which page(s) get Landscape orientation:

With the cursor anywhere inside Section 2 (i.e. anywhere on page 4),
apply Layout > Orientation > Landscape. Because orientation is a
section-level property, this changes ONLY Section 2 — pages 1-3 and
5-6 remain exactly as they were, still portrait, completely
unaffected by the change applied inside Section 2.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
A single page can only get its own distinct orientation by being
isolated into its own section, bounded by section breaks on both
sides — one section break alone would only create a boundary on ONE
side, meaning everything from that point to the end of the document
would inherit the new orientation, not just the one intended page.
Two section breaks are what isolate exactly one page (or one
contiguous range of pages) as its own independently-formattable
region, leaving everything outside that boundary untouched.
