The more conventional treatment would be to leave the tables in landscape
orientation ("broadside" in publishing terminology). For some how-tos, see

I have designed a few tables in Word, in a landscape format. However, for
a
book I am writing, I need to rotate these tables so that they fit on
portait
oriented paper. Any ideas how to do this?
