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!

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.
