Some inkjet printers that output face up do rotate this way, whereas laser
printers (which output face down) tend to rotate the "right" way. There may
be a setting in your printer driver governing this, or a different driver
may give different results (the rotation on one of my DeskJets was changed
by an updated driver).

Hmmm. This has been a pet-peeve of mine since the beginning of time (well,
since the beginning of Microsoft Word) on many different printers. A
landscape oriented Table will print with the top on the right-hand side of
an
8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. This is a clockwise rotation. I guess I
probably
need to continue to manually rotate the page after printing.

Hi ?B?Y2hpcHdhcA==?=,
But
when this page is printed, I want it rotated 90 degrees
counter-clockwise,
not 90 degrees clockwise. This results in an output for a table or
graph
that is easier to read in a bound document and this orientation is the
industry standard for technical documents, i.e., with the top of the
graph or
table to the left side of the document, when holding the page
vertically.
Interesting. In every version of Word, on every machine I've ever used,
rotating
counter-clockwise has been the default. Including Word 2007 (I just
tested to be
absolutely sure).
Could this be an issue with your printer driver? If you try changing it
to the
"industry standard" HP laserjet III do you see anything different?
Or might you have some kind of right-to-left commands in force?
