Default Landscape Table in Portrait Document

I think my answer was somewhat at cross-purposes, too. If you can't find a
setting in your printer Properties to change this, you might see if you can
find a different driver for the printer. I noticed that the orientation of
landscape pages changed when I updated the driver for one of the printers I
used to have. The printer I currently have, when the duplex option is
selected, has a choice of "Long side" and "Short side." It may be that
changing "Long side" to "Short side" will make matters worse, however. For
manual duplexing, however, you may just need to rotate the relevant pages
before printing the second side.

Thanks for the feedback, but still haven't found a way to make the

landscape
pages print with the right orientation.

Using an HP 7110 all-in-one printer which has a manual duplex mode, and

none
of the properties or printer setup features seem to permit reorienting the
offending landscape pages.

It puzzles me that I recall printing a rather large portrait oriented
document with inserted excel spreadsheet rosters in landscape mode a year

or
so ago and they printed head to foot just fine...

Have read most of the posts on Landscape/Portrait orientation, but...
Have not found an answer to this problem

I have a Landscape word table in a portrait document, with section

breaks
before and after the section.
When printed the portrait section prints as viewed with the page right

side
up.
The landscape table prints upside down.
For example page 3 is portrait and prints ok, but page 4 which is on the
back side of page 3 is the first page of the landscape table, and it is
printed "upside down" if you were to turn the document sideways
(counterclockwise) to read the table,

It would seem to me that page 4 when turned to read the document would

be
top up, but its printed with the header on the right side an d the

footer on
the left side.

Too wordy, but could use a little help here
