Default Page numbers at the same place with portrait/landscape section

A header/footer can be anywhere on the page -

It only works with plain text.

There has to be some way to simply move a header or footer to a
different part of the screen for documents with both portrait and
landscape documents. If not, consider this the first call for MS to
create a patch for Word 2007 to install the fix. Obviously this is a
not uncommon problem and one that warrants a user-friendly solution.

Unfortunately, Word will not automatically do this for you.

You may be able to use the following workaround: Put a textbox in
the header or footer of the landscape page, insert the page number,
change the text direction, and move the textbox to the position you
want (you'll needed to experiment with placement). Make sure that
your header or footer on the pages preceding and following the
pages in question are not set at "Same as previous" (to eliminate
the standard pagination and to prevent this type of page number
from carrying over to the next page).

Hello,

I have a document with some sections in the portrait mode and some
in the landscape one. I would like that all the page numbers
appear at the same place so that when you flip the whole document,
you can always read the page number on the bottom right. But, I
don't know how to fix the fact that for the landscape sections, it
sets the page number on the bottom right but when you look at the
page horizontally. I would like the page number to be oriented
portrait in a landscape page, if I make myself clear. Like in a
book: the page numbers are all the same, even if at some point you
have a drawing that you have to look at turning the book around. I
hope this is clear and I hope someone can help me. Thanks in
advance.
