There's the bare bones of the macro method I use in an article I wrote for
the ISTC journal. See the end of the article he

http://www.syntagma.demon.co.uk/Arti...orkaround2.pdf

You still have to prepare a landscape format to match your portrait one, but
then save the section break that stores the landscape page set up as an
AutoText in the template. An "Insert Landscape Page" macro can then insert
the "protective" break at the current position, unlink the headers and
footers, and insert the stored landscape break.

If you can write a macro that works, then this would be excellent.
Otherwise, why not point the user to that article?



of course, link is excellent, and article is very helpfull.
i use word from time to time [an know something about it], but was
currious how to obtain that specific customer's request.
without that article it is hard to know even how to start preparing macro.

but, here is a new question:
are there some tools [word vba properties, methods, objects ...] that may
be used for mentioned page numbering, and which are *not* exposed through
user interface [menus & dialogs] but just only directly through vba code?

thanks again.

Hi Sali

See
How to put a portrait page number on a landscape page
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...apeSection.htm

Hope this helps.


thanks, it matches exactly!

but unfortunately, it just shows that "portrait page number on landscape
page" is not a subject somebody could advice as a matter of telephone
support!
if being such a complicated manouever, maybe the best is to provide vba
[word] macro to user?

again, thanks for the info.

i have report [mainly portrait format] having text pages on portrait,

but
few tables, charts, etc, which naturaly need landscape orientation.
because of general portrait nature of document, i need *all* footers

and
page numbering to be on bottom of portrait a4 format [bottom right
corner].
putting a table on landscape, word rotates the whole page, so page

number
on footer bottom right, becomes rotated number on top right after

bibding
landscape printed pages to general portrait final document.

i hope i properly described problem.

question is how to make landscape on few pages just in *main* view,
reamining footer and header *untouched*, in portrait mode?
the perfect solution could be to have object into text box rotated
for
90deg, but on text box property, rotate property is not available
[grayed].

this is word2000 version.

thnx.
