Margins in mixed portrait/landscape doc

[Nikko963]

Hi, everyone.



I have a Word 2016 document that is made up of portrait pages. This document will be used as a template by others as a jumping off point. One of thing things they will probably need to do is add a page and swap it to landscape so that they can insert a full page landscape diagram.

The problem is that if they insert a page/section break to generate the blank page, and then change it to landscape, the margins are swapped (so that the margin for the top of the portrait page now becomes the right-side margin). This is incredibly frustrating as it messes up the headers and footers. I want the margins to remain absolute for the top, bottom, left and right sides regardless of orientation. I don't want my users to have to manually change the margins every time they introduce a landscape page, which is just plain stupid.

Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something?
