I just did this yesterday (Word 2003)- hope this helps! 1. You might want to copy & paste the table to a new document and save it as a backup in case you ever need to make changes to it later. 2. Cut the table from the document. If you need to change the page layout to portrait, this would be a good time. 3. Go to Edit- Paste Special and choose to paste it in as a Picture (I used Enhanced Metafile). It won't look that good, but keep working with it! 4. Click in the middle of the table to get the black handles around it just like you would do on a picture. I used the Drawing toolbar and went to Draw - Rotate or Flip - Rotate left 90 degrees. That rotates the table so the top is now the left. 5. I changed the text wrapping (from the Picture toolbar button or Format Picture) so I could drag it where I wanted it to go. You might also have to play with the size, etc. In print preview it may appear that some borders are missing, but if you zoom in really close you can see that they are there. Since it is a picture now, you can't edit the table. However, if you keep a backup of the table in another document, you could edit the original and just repeat this process. Good Luck! Mal Wrote: I am using Word 2000. I would like to have a table printed such that the top of the table is against the left margain as if the table were rotated. If I print in landscape mode, then the headers and footers are along the long edges and I cannot just insert these pages into the document by rotating the paper as the headers and footers would now be left and right. However I want the table printed in portrait mode, with headers and footers along the short edges but with the table running across the page. Thus my page orientation remains portrait. In other words, in the printed document I would have to rotate the document to view the table. How do I do this. -- mbgreene |
