I have a that i created in word. The document is used in landscape.
I have a second page I would like to add to the back of the first
page. My problem is the second page is in portrait mode.

When I tryo to cut and paste the text from the secound form unto the
back of the first it throws everthing off.

Can this be done? Right now I print one copy out and then run that
copy through my copier with the back so it make the paper now have the
form I need on both the front and back.

You need a Section break (Insert>Break) between the first and the second
pages so that you can change the orientation of the second page, which you
can do on a Section by Section basis. I am not sure of the capability of
your printer to print such a document in duplex mode.

Hope this helps.

To add to Doug's reply, you cannot mix portrait and landscape on the same
sheet of paper - even if you add the section breaks and create this as per
Doug's advice. This is a limitation of printers: you may also find that some
printers seem incapable of mixing landscape and portrait even when in a
correctly formatted document.
