I am trying to get text in a document that is portrait to flow around a table
which needs to be landscape and is therefore in a new section. At the moment
every time I edit the document I have to manually cut and paste text on
either side of the table so there is not a gap on the preceding protrait
page. Is there any way I can get this to flow around the page(table)
automatically?

Put the table in a separate document and insert it as an object within a
textbox with text direction set to vertical.

There are still a couple of things that are not clear - I have tried to
paste the object into a text box with alignment set to verticla and Word says
it will not allow this. I did try earlier with the table aligned vertically
and this appeared to work. Am I right in believing I need to recreate the
table with text aligned vertically in order topaste it in?

Having done that am I right in understanding that becase the table
references is inside the object I cannot use it to cross-reference in the
text ?
And
Can I ensure the table appears on a complete page rather than split in the
text?

Thanks
