Thanks for the answer. Yes, unfortunately I haven't been able to solve the problem yet. I thought to remove it by running an auto macro in the Word itself, but so far this does not work.
I have the same problem - after switching from landscape to portrait orientation, an extra page break is added.
There is another unpleasant feature.
If a portrait-oriented document has templates for the title and regular pages, then the following behavior is observed: the transition from portrait to landscape occurs normally and picks up the headers and footers from the template for regular pages, however, the subsequent transition from landscape to portrait orientation is performed strangely - the page gets the header and footer not for the regular page but for the title page.
Any ideas on how to fix this behavior?

I think I had this problem once and conclude this was an MS Word limitation :-(
