I want to insert two landscape pages in to my otherwise portrait Word 2010 document but maintain the sequential page numbering i.e. my final portrait page before the landscape pages is 38, so the first landscape page should be 39 and the second 40, the next page is portrait so should be 41.
Except I can't make it work properly - it's driving me nuts! Please help.
Use section breaks.
Place the cursor at the end of the last line of text of your page 38 portrait page, then go to Page Layout tab > Breaks > Section Breaks > Next Page.
You will then see a section break marker. Now, change the orientation (in your case pages 39-40) to Landscape.
Then insert another section break at the end of the pages you just changed to landscape orientation, and change the orientation of the succeeding pages (41-up) back to portrait.
This would be the sample output.
