How can I mix landscape with portrait pages in InDesign CS3?

I want to put together a very simple four-page document with images and accompanying captions, to be inserted as plates into the middle of a book. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find a way of mixing portrait and landscape images. The first page is a recto, and the will contain a single landscape image, so the caption needs to run vertically along the page edge (away from the margin); the second page will have two "landscaped" images, but one above the other, so the captions will run horizontally on the page (so that page isn't a problem at all); and then another page resembling the initial recto; and then a final page (verso) with the caption running along the left-hand edge (so it's landscape, but the other way around).
I can't help feeling I've made a bit of a meal of explaining what I mean... but I hope it's clear enough! And not that unusual a requirement for a series of illustrations or tables within a text - so I'm sure I'm just being dim; but I have googled this quite extensively, and it seems not to be as obvious as I thought it might...

Thanks for the quick reply! Rather than mock it up, I think I can explain it much more simply (sorry - it's 5.30 am where I am, and I've been working all night, so probably not very coherent... !). Basically, it's just the very familiar thing of having a group of plates in the middle of a book (not part of the pagination of the book itself, so I'm putting them together in a separate and - I hope! - single indd file). Where you have images that are landscape in their proportions, they need to be rotated 90 degrees, so that you then turn the book sideways to read the caption beneath the image. If it's a recto page, you turn it clockwise, if it's verso, anti-clockwise. Does that make sense? I have two of the former and one of the latter, plus a page with two images that will be set together on a single page, one above the other, which don't pose a problem, as "up" will remain "up", as it were...
Is that any clearer? (!!?)

    How to set unequal columns using master pages in InDesign CS3?

    I don't have CS3 anymore but I don't think this has substantially changed in the last few versions of InDesign.
    Choose View > Grids & Guides > uncheck Lock Column Guides. Then drag the column guides to the position you want.

  • Investigate book with both landscape and portrait pages

    I've an old book where I sucessfully swapped landscape and portrait pages, but there are complications why I cannot use it as a model for my current project. Since I no longer remember how I accomplished this, I have to investigate how to build a book with both landscape and portrait pages.
    I know about paragraph tags set to use a new page. Also a table on Reference page which lists Paragraph Tag Name, Right-Handed Master Page, Left-Handed Master Page, Range Indicator.
    But this doesn't seem to be enough; something is not working.
    Could you please point me toward resources which discuss how to do this?
    Thank you kindly,
    Theresa

    I think there was a big discussion of this already either here on the forum or over at the Frameusers.com list (I forget which). Try googling -

  • How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

    Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
    I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
    Sorry for my bad English.

    This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
    The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

    I bought a Mac Mini w/ Iworks.. Pages has disappeared completely.. how can I re-download with out paying for it again

    The iWorks prebundled with Mac Minis is a demo release, and not fully featured.  Unless you mean you downloaded iWorks from the Mac App Store at a later time, it really can't be freely re-downloaded as fully featured. 
    Use this link if you got it from the Mac App Store and can't find get it to redownload normally: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/
    Look at* http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html for alternatives.

  • How can I download a version of Pages for my computer with Snow Leopard

    How can I download a version of Pages for my old MacBook that can only run Snow Leopard?

    Hi nteo,
    See this Mac knowledge base article.
    Snow Leopard must be at least version 10.6.6 to access the Mac app store. Use Apple menu > About this Mac to determine the version you have installed. Use Software Update to update the OS, if necessary.

  • How can I delete an old web page ??

    How can I delete an old web page ?? I have created a web page some time ago and now I want to delete it but i do not know how to do it: can anyone help me ?

    Delete the web page where it is published.
    If it is published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go to your iDisk or mount it on your desktop and then delete it from your Web/sites folder.
    If you have published to a server, then you'll need to download Cyberduck, Filezilla or Transmit - all dedicated ftp programmes to connect with your host/server and then delete your old files from the server.
    It really is not hard.

  • How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?

    How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?
    I have bought a memership for the iOS Developer program.
    I have created an in-house app.
    Now I want to publish it to all employees without registering the devices.
    So..
    I go to their website and try to sign up for the enterprise program, image shown below:
    http://s29.postimg.org/q06ylh5o6/Clipboard01.jpg
    Within the image above, I click continue...
    http://s14.postimg.org/46lqcpy74/Clipboard02.jpg
    Then I am taken to the image above, there I need to select a program, but I already have a program, the iOS developer program!  And the checkbutton of that program, is disabled. If I try to click continue at this page, without sleecting a program, a javascript-box shows "You have to select a program before continuging"...
    Do I need to unsubscribe my iOS developer program, to then register it again? Lol!
    PS: no clue where I should post this, looked over the forums and could not see anything related to singing up, registering for a program...

    Our apps came offline automatically shortly after this as iTunesConnect thought we had not renewed our license, even though we had several weeks ago.
    We had a brief panic as our apps were offline for 12 hours, which is how long it took Apple Support to work out what was wrong and hook things up. 
    I suggest you contact them ASAP to get this fixed so you don't get that iTunesConnect alert to your phone 'Your app status has been changed to Pending Contract'.

  • Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?

    OK....First,you are right, OS 5 has the 11 page limit....you must create folders of Apps until you get below 11 pages of combined folders and apps...NOTE.....the upgrade to OS 5 killed all of my old folders and folder organizations...this may be an issue for all????.....I have over 300 apps so when the old folders went away...I was left with 20 plus pages....only 11 visible....It took me awhile to find out what happened....Since I have 64G it seems that 11 visible pages is a silly limit since the apps are on the machine...

  • How can I print directly out of Pages on my iPad?

    How can I print directly out of Pages on my iPad if my Brother printer is not airprint compatible? I currently have a Brother MFC-J615W and have downloaded the Brother iPrint app; but that only works with pictures and PDFs it seems.  I know I can use the cloud to transfer and just print from my macbook, but I am starting school and would love to cut out that middle step if possible.  I know... how lazy is that? But I feel like I should be able to make it work with a little ingenuity.  Thanks for any info you can provide.

    Try to arrange them manually afterwards: afaik, it is impossible to force an order when syncing:

  • How can i use my custom login page in a custom partner application ?

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to customize a login page displayed other than the default sso login page
    by submiting my form to the regular pl/sql procedure : "PORTAL.wwptl_login.login_url"
    but i tried to type the requested partner application url in the browser i got the sso
    login page other than my custom login page. So, How can i use my custom login page in a custom partner application ?
    Regards,

    I cannot begin to express my level of frustration. I have been trying to use the composition widget light box display for some time now. I drag the widget to my document. The default widget has three small trigger boxes and a large area made up of a forward and backward button, a background, a text box and a frame for your image.
    My steps have been …
    I click on the little trigger box.
    I click on the frame that holds the main image.
    I go to the fill menu and browse my computer for my image and then click OK.
    IT shows up on my screen. Yay
    I attempt to continue using the next two trigger boxes provided in the widget.
    After that, I add more by clicking on the little plus sign.
    This is where all heck breaks loose.
    Every single time I attempt to add thumbnails, something messes up. When I go to preview, either not all of my main images show up, or it starts with the wrong one, or some are missing. I have looked and looked for help on this and the only thing I can find is how easy it is to create a great portfolio lightbox display.  But as we know, that only works when your thumbnails are the same image as the images in your lightbox. If you want something different, you have to use the composition wizard. I am finding it extremely difficult and confusing to customize.
    Is there an exact sequence you need to use to add images to the slideshow? I am my wits end.

  • How can i move to a new page in smartform?

    hi friends
    i hav a smartform with two pages.
    the fist page contains the Main window and 3 Secondary windows.
    in the 1st page i'm displaying some line items and in the main window i gave the command to
    go to Page 2.
    the 2nd page contains only one Secondary Window.
    in that i want to display a table with many line items.
    if it contains only 20 line items its works fine; becoz of the window size.
    how can i move to a new page if it contains more line items?

    Hi,
    You need to create main Window on second page also.
    And in Form Attributes..there is an option for Next page.
    So there you mention the next page name.
    This will solve the problem.
    Thanks.
