This may have been asked before....I want to make most of my
document in a typical horizontal format. But part of it needs
to be in a vertical format. Is it possible to do this without
using Tables? Isn't there a simple command to change
orientation?

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...apeSection.htm

Only Microsoft could make something so complicated. I guess a
Table is the most logical solution. Thanks for the tip though. I
had to ask.....


If you just need part of the text on a page rotated, you can use a
text box, frame, or table cell; if you want an entire page in
landscape format, then the referenced article tells how to change
the page orientation and also, if needed, to keep the header/footer
the same as on the portrait pages.

Top posting corrected.........
Suzanne, that brings up an interesting possibility........to setup
part of
the page with Page Setup. I guess its for the whole page
or nothing. If there is a way of using Page Setup and the
Orientation of
the page for part of it (I need it for the bottom 20%) let
me know. Thanks.

No, you can't change orientation for part of a page, but you can
insert a text box, frame, or table and rotate text in it.

Thought so. Thanks.
