I am unable to find how to generate a full-page table in landscape while the rest of the multi-page paper is portrait. Can it be done, and if so, how javascript:emoticon(':?')

I haven't tried, so I don't know if this is possible, but if you create a new section, can you set it to landscape for that page, then start another new section reverting to portrait?

If you can, that's your answer. If you can't, you're probably going to have to put it into Nisus as a feature wish.

Yes, Mark has the answer for you. Here's a few details on the process:

1. Create the new section using the menu Insert > Section Break > Next Page.
2. Place your caret inside the section that you would like to have a different paper orientation (or select multiple sections to change more than one section).
3. Use the menu File > Page Setup to alter the paper settings as desired.

Thank you both for the idea; I didn't know I could do that.

On screen it looks great, just what I wanted.

Tell it to print, and I get an margin error - correct margins or print anyway?
Choose correct margins and it shrinks it too small for the required formatting.
Choose print anyway and it prints those pages in portrait, cutting off the right half of the page.

We are half-way there ; what can we do about the other half (the printing) ??

This looks like a bug. Besides splitting up your document for printing purposes I'm not sure there's any way around it. I'll have us take a look at the problem, thanks.

This maybe a silly question, but what happens if you export your document as a PDF ... does it preserve the page orientations you have set? If so, what happens when you print your PDF?

The PDF has the same issues, eg: pages are clipped. This is to be expected, since the drawing code that creates the printout also creates the PDF.

I looked at the 1.0.1 update stats and didn't see if it addressed this issue; does it?

I'm ready for my final version of my Dissertation to go out but I can't use Pro easily if not fixed. For the Draft versions I printed those pages separately and then hand-inserted them.

The other issue is it doesn't maintain Header/Footer placement when done in Landscape.

thanks for the info to-date.

I'm sorry to say that the NWP 1.0.1 update does not resolve this issue.

Just wondering if the issue with printing both portrait and landscape in the same document is still to-be-fixed?

thanks

Seems the update hasn't fixed it, so I'd do the same again ... insert a blank page in the main dissertation so that the page numbering doesn't get messed up, then create a separate page, with the appropriate headers and footers in whatever app you can do it in most easily and then just replace the blank page with that ...

Or even better, keep the blank page with the headers and footers, produce your table separately, export it or save it out in a suitable vector graphic format like PDF or EPS -- I'd use a graphics programme, so you can rotate it 90º, though there are other ways you can achieve that -- and then place that as an image on your blank page.

Using NWP 1.1, I have exactly the same problem . I really wish this bug to be fixed in the next update.
