Change from Portrait to Landscape page layout in Word Output

Post by WebHelpppp »

Hi,

I have a MadCap build that has sub chapters that have a Landscape layout, other chapters are portrait. When I create a Word Output the Landscape Page layout does not change in Word.

Is this a manual process? Do I have to go into the Word doc and create section breaks to get the landscape layout to work again?

Hi there,

How do you apply your page layouts? I had a similar issue in the past. In my case, I found that the Page Layout break type did not work, but the Chapter Layout break type did change the page layout.

However, this workaround does have the side effect of causing MiniTOCs to not show topics that occur after the chapter break has occurred.
