Page
numbers on portrait and landscape pages in the same place and
orientation
Create
a style for landscape pages. Set the margins for the landscape style
such that they correspond with the portrait style when rotated (top
= left, bottom = right, left = bottom and right = top). For page
numbering on left, turn on headers; on right – footers. Select Use
dynamic spacing.
Create
a style for the landscape header or footer based on the style for
the portrait header or footer. (In the Styles and Formatting
window, select the style that is used for the portrait header or
footer > right-click >
New.) Change the font position to 270°.
If the page numbering is on the bottom choose left alignment, for
the top choose right.
Insert
the page break and choose the page style just created (see above);
do not change the numbering.
In
the relevant header/footer (as per step 1) insert the page number
field.
