When I 'include' a page in another space, the formatting changes and the page displays differently

Question

I want to include a page in Space B that already exists in Space A.  I want to use include so that changes pull through.  The only problem is that when I include the page it displays differently in Space B than to Space A.

In Space A, the page is full width - so landscape if you like.  When I include it in Space B, the top half becomes portrait and the bottom half stays landscape.  I want it all to stay landscape.  I've tried setting Space B to full width both before and after I do the include but the result is the same.

This is important as I want to export the data from Space B and it needs to be landscape.

Any suggestions as to why this might be happening and what I can do to resolve it? Thank you.

Just come across this while looking at a related issue.  When I include a page the custom icons get replaced by blue stars even though they are in the same space?  This renders the include page function completely useless for my needs as the page is part of an ISO9001 quality management system and the icons have particular meanings. Does anyone know why this happens?

Thank you. I guess it's back to the drawing board!

Ah, ok, I see.  This happens because the layout is formatting, done by the page it is on, the include is not bringing all of it in.

Which is annoying.

I think the only thing you could do is split the page into two pages so that the upper table and lower pair are included from different pages.
