Default 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? :-(

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...apeSection.htm
which expalins the principles of having landscape pages within a portrait
document, as well as page numbering on those landscape pages.
This articles covers all versions of Word.
Hope this helps

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
