RTF Generation: landscape and portrait settings

[Stefan Bolleininger]

Hi, I got a neat question about the rtf generator which I gave up to try out for this week:

My Template is in portrait format.
- All Packages and Elements are reported in this template.
-X- ONE linked document is in landscape Format and should be reported as it (it is to long to be put into portrait).

The next package is in Portrait
--The next linked document is portrait as well.

How can i adjust the settings for THE landscape document, while all others are portrait?

I hope this question has a soft shell for you.

Greetings

I've managed to mix portrait and landscape by setting it in the templates using File>Printer Setup dialog in the template. The trick I found to making it work is you need to put a section break at the end of the templates so when generated the orientation is applied otherwise it just stays the same as the first template.
Hope that helps

Hi,

i thought it would be within "Edit->Edit Section"

Could you please describe the "Trick with Section break at the templates end" a bit more detailed?.

That sounds interessting.
Unfortunately I hadn't helped to find my way, but I will keep on it :-)

Thank you

Stefan

To insert a section break using the template editor try the menu item insert>insert break...>section break.

It is worth noting that I put a section break at end of my templates so this can work. If you don't want to do that you could put a section break at the start and at the end of the template that has the landscape layout it might work. I haven't tried that method but in theory it could work however it depends where the page layout is inserted into the template. If its before the section break at the start of the template it probably won't work.
Hope that helps clarify it a bit more.
