tables need to rotate with out rotating the entire page
I have a table that is too large to insert in portrait mode. But I need the
printed document to have the header and footer in the same orientation as the rest of the document. Right now to rotate a table, and still have it behave properly, you must change the page orientation, which results in the header and footer being on the left and right sides of the page not the top and bottom. Right now the work around is to create pictures of the table for each page and insert them. But if the data changes then you have to repeat the enire process and with tables over 100 pages long it takes hours. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

tables need to rotate with out rotating the entire page
You can do things this way, but when working with mirror margins in a
landscape section that is to be bound portrait, the "Inner" is the top (as viewed on screen) correct for odd pages, incorrect for even pages. Secondly, if the table is facing the binding it needs to be aligned left or right depending on which page it appears on. Our workaround for landscape tables over multiple pages that are bound portrait is: 1. For odd pages: create a section break, redo margins, stop header being same as previous and delete, add a text box on left and align so it appears in correct position. 2. Repeat for even pages with textbox on right. 3. Work out how many pages the table is going to fall over, with page breaks, and create a new table for each page. 4. Realign each table left or right as appropriate. Having tables that can appear in landscape on a portrait page would be fantastic, and I expect very useful for anyone displaying spreadsheets as part of a portrait publication such as an Annual Report or a range of other reports.
