    Noel -
    To get the table on the same page as the Portrait copy, you have to reduce the
    table font by at least 20% in order to fit the width.
    Otherwise, to have the first page as Portrait and the second page as Landscape,
    you need to start a new document for the landscape page. This works okay if you
    name each document the same. EG:
    samename1.abw
    samename2.abw
    samename3.abw, etc.
    If the first page is portrait, second is landscape, and third is portrait, you
    need a separate document for each page in order to print out right.
    That's how we do it.
