This is a Mac OS problem I think, but perhaps VW or forum readers have a solution I am missing. Prior to OS10.5, page set up included two landscape modes, one for each feed direction, "bottom" of page (the wider margin) could be on right or left. Now there is only one - bottom/wide margin on the right. There are situations where it should be on the left.
A portrait mode document (say, letter size, single sided) is usually bound or stapled on the left. Landscape mode pages in such a document require clockwise rotation to view so that binding is away from viewer. The bottom/wide margin ends up on viewer's left.
If I draw on a sheet in landscape mode, the drawing will appear upside down when inserted into a portrait mode doc. I can rotate all the drawing elements 180, or draw with view rotated 180 to accommodate, or create a custom page reversing the margins, but why should I have to do that?

OR, more likely, am I just being thick?
