Landscape Table in Portrait Document
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 Richard |

Landscape Table in Portrait Document
The convention for portrait pages (recto or verso) is top to the left and
bottom to the right. This permits you to rotate a document in just one direction to view, for example, landscape tables that continue for more than one page. Some printers reverse this orientation, which is a problem if they also duplex. There may be a setting in the printer driver (Properties), however, to change this. -- Suzanne S.

Landscape Table in Portrait Document
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...

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. -- Suzanne S.

I struggled with this knotty problem for hours and spend some time with the HP support group as well. In the end, the solution was not obvious. By Trial and Error, I figured out tha selecting the HP 7110's two sided "Tablet" mode instead of "Portrait" resulted in printing both the portrait and landscape modes so they coudl be bound and read normally....

Yes, "Tablet" would be the equivalent of "Short side." The preview pictures
in my HP 6122 Properties dialog illustrate that pretty clearly, but I wasn't sure how it might affect the duplexing of the portrait pages. -- Suzanne S.
