3) Using the method described on page 428 to include a manual
page break in a text section before and after the landscape
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.
The solution
To avoid this problem but keep pictures positioned precisely on a
particular page, anchor the pictures as follows:
1) Right-click on the picture and choose Picture from the pop-up
menu.
2) On the Type tab of the Picture dialog box (Figure 374), set the
anchor to To character or To paragraph.
3) Under Position, choose suitable horizontal and vertical references
to the page.
Restarting list numbering when using custom styles
The problem
When custom numbering styles are used for lists, the first item in the
first list in a file may continue numbering from the last list in the
previous chapter.
The solution
You need to explicitly set the first list item to restart numbering at 1.
However, if you right-click on the paragraph and choose Restart
numbering, the setting is not saved when the file is saved. (This works
for other lists in a document, but not the first.)
