TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Rotate the table instead of the page or manually insert a page that is not
in the
text flow (Special>Add Disconnected Page and specify your landscape master
page).
The process you're using is applying a manual override to an automatic
process.
You're telling the program that no matter how many pages are inserted in the
book,
Page 7 will always be rotated. And it's doing it. ;-)

Subject: Frame Maker : Master Page Usage (Rotated Pages)
Hi,
Consider the following situation with FrameMaker.
Document has 10 pages.
Page 7 holds wide table.
So I use other Master Page:
Format->Page Layout->Master Page Usage :
Master Page Usage
Use Master Page:
---------------------------------
|
| <closed> Right
|
| <open> Custom Rotated_Page
|
---------------------------------
Apply To:
---------------------------------
|
| <open> Current Page (7)
|
| .....................
|
---------------------------------
Now it's OK. Page#7 is Rotated_Page
Other pages are Right.
But if I add page (for example) between Page#3 and Page#4
I have as following :
1.1) Page#7 is Rotated_Page;
1.2) Page#7 doesn't contain my wide table;
2.1) Page#8 is Right (i.e. not Rotated);
2.2) Page#8 contains my wide table;
So, I have problem with two pages.
Is there any possibility to avoid this situation?
