Page numbering on landscape pages!
This is an age-old problem! Why can't (won't?) Microsoft redesign Word to
maintain page numbering along the bottom of all pages (of a document) when, on landscaped pages, page numbering is 'rotated' 90 degrees? :-( ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

We have been and still are pestering MS to provide just that too. You'd
think it was easy but obviously there's more to it than can be seen. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Martin_1185" wrote in message news This is an age-old problem! Why can't (won't?)

Page numbering on landscape pages!
Actually, Word 2007 offers some built-in Page Number building blocks for
putting the page numbers in the side margins (using text boxes). Once you've done that, it's easy enough to rotate the text in the text boxes. Although putting page numbers in the side margins is an interesting design treatment, I was willing to give MS credit for also (albeit of course without telling anybody) offering this as a way to make portrait numbers on a landscape page a little easier. -- Suzanne S.

Page numbering on landscape pages!
Hi Terry,
Thanks for your comment. I wonder if the reason is that Word started out simply as a word processor. Over the years, it has grown, but unfortunately, some functionality has been left by the way-side. Why is it that Adobe FrameMaker can produce the required effect?!?!?! Martin. "Terry Farrell" wrote: We have been and still are pestering MS to provide just that too.

FrameMaker is a page Layout Desktop Publisher: Word is a style-based word
processor. The difference between DTP and Word Processing have become blurred, but both have inhibitions because of their ancestry. Terry "Martin_1185" wrote in message ...

No, that can't be the case. The two word processors I used before Word (one
of them is Word Perfect) could keep headers and footers upright on the short sides while text inside the margins is "sideways. Pam Martin_1185 wrote: Hi Terry, Thanks for your comment.
