How do I insert a landscape formatted page in a document where other pages are portrait formatted?

To change from a Portrait orientation to a Landscape orientation:

put the cursor where you want to insert a page formatted to Landscape in your document;
select Insert ▸ More breaks ▸ Manual break (the Manual breaks menu was directly under the Insert menu in versions prior to 6);
on the dialog box that opens, select Page Break;
in the Styles list, select the Landscape page style; and
click OK.

To come back to the Portrait format for the rest of the document:

put the cursor where you want to stop the Landscape format in your document;
select Insert ▸ More breaks ▸ Manual Break;
on the dialog box that opens, select Page Break;
in the Styles list, select the style previously used, for example Default Style; and
click OK.
