The solution
1) Remove the landscape pages from the subdocument and put them
in a separate document. Note that if the landscape pages are in
the middle of the original subdocument, you will end up with at
least three documents: (a) the portion of the subdocument before
the landscape pages, (b) the landscape pages themselves, and (c)
the portion of the subdocument after the landscape pages.
2) Insert documents (a) and (c) individually into the master
document.
3) Then do one of the following:
• Insert a text section into the master document itself between
documents (a) and (b). In the text section, insert a manual
page break (specifying the landscape page style), and then
paste the contents of document (b)—the landscape pages—
into the master document. If necessary, insert another manual
page break (specifying one of the relevant portrait page
styles) before document (b).
or
• Insert document (b) into the master document as a
subdocument, using the method described on page 422 to
include a manual page break in a text section before and after
the landscape document.
When deciding which method to use, you need to consider the
placement of headers and footers (if any) that appear in your
document. If you want portrait headers and footers on the landscape
pages, use the technique described in Chapter 4 (Formatting Pages).
Anchoring pictures to a page
The problem
A picture (graphic) anchored “to page” in a subdocument is not
displayed in the master document although it always appears correctly
in the subdocument.
Because the master document reorganizes the page flow, page
numbers, and cross-references when it collates all the subdocuments
together, the absolute reference to a page X in a subdocument is lost in
the master document. The picture loses its anchor reference and
simply disappears.
