I was walking through a friend's studio, when I noticed one artist working with his head tilted to his left. Once I realized that he wasn't suffering from some unusual medical condition, I decided to take a closer look at his screen. After a quick glance, I decided to help before he hurt himself. I said, "I see you're working on a horizontal page in a vertical layout." In response he joked, "Yes and it's a real pain in the neck." I answered, "It doesn't have to be." Now that I caught his attention, he looked up from his work. I continued, "Set up this horizontal page in a separate document, and Save it as an InDesign file. Then open your original layout, go to File>Place, select your horizontal layout and Place it on the correct page. Then Rotate it 90° in the Control panel and move it into position with the Selection tool (V). Placing one InDesign file in another is new in CS3 and it can be a real lifesaver." He questioned, "But what if changes need to be made on the horizontal page?" I answered, "Make the changes in the horizontal file and because it's been placed in your original layout, you can just update it in the Links panel (Window>Links) by clicking the Update Link button."
