Default How do I transpose a table from portrait to landscape?

Well, not exactly, I suppose, but if you transpose the entire thing and
paste it into Word as a table and then rotate the text...

Hi Suzanne,

Fair enough, though transposing a table in Excel doesn't achieve the same
result as you get by rotating it in Word.

Well, the OP does say he has the table in Excel to begin with.

Agreed, but I wasn't supposing anything in that regard.

Actually, it's quite easy to transpose a table in Excel.

Hi,

You could insert a Section break before & after the table and
re-format the section the table's in to landscape orientation. That's
a whole lot easier than transposing the table.

I copied a table from Excel into word, the table in excel is in
portrait
view, so when I copy it into word it is 5 pages long, how do I change
the
table to landscape view so it can match my page orientation?

Thank you
