You can't mix page sizes in an FM file. Orientation, yes (rotated
pages). But sizes, no. You have to use a separate file for the legal
pages. This really isn't much of a burden -- you just have to get the
numbering set right for that file (and maybe the one after it) in the
book window. For instance, assuming that the legal pages occur in the
middle of a chapter, you'd have to set Chapter Number for that file and
the one that follows it to be the same as the previous file. 

HTH!
