Word 2007 - Landscape page within a portrait document
Making the page landscape is fairly simple:
- Select all the text that should be on the landscape page. - On the Page Layout tab, click the tiny button in the bottom right corner of the Page Setup group. - In the dialog, select the Landscape picture. IMPORTANT -- DON'T SKIP THIS: At the bottom of the dialog, change the "Apply to" dropdown from Whole Document to Selected Text. - Click OK. Unfortunately, the footer will now sit along the long edge of the paper instead of matching the location of the footers in the rest of the document. Fixing this takes some doing. - Double-click in the footer of the landscape section. The Header & Footer Tools Design tab appears in the ribbon. In the Navigation group, click the Link To Previous button to turn it off. - Click the Next Section button to go to the footer of the section following the landscape section, and again turn off the Link To Previous button. You've now isolated the footer of the landscape section so that changes there won't affect any other footers in the document. - Select all the text of the footer in the landscape section and cut it to the clipboard. - Go to the Insert ribbon, click the Table button, and select a one-cell table. - Because the cursor is now in a table, the Table Tools tab appears in the ribbon with two sub-tabs. You start on the Design sub-tab. Click the Borders button and choose No Borders. - Click the Layout sub-tab, and click the Properties button at the far left. - In the Properties dialog, click the Around picture button. That causes a Positioning button to appear in the dialog; click that. - Set the horizontal position to "Right relative to Margin". - Set the vertical position to "Top relative to Margin". Click OK. - Click the Row tab of the Properties dialog. Check the "Specify height" box and set the row height to the width of the footers in the portrait sections -- probably 6" or 6.5". - Click the Column tab and set the preferred width to the height of the footers in the portrait sections -- probably 0.5". Click OK. - On the Table Tools Layout ribbon, in the Alignment group, click the Text Direction button twice so the arrows point up. - Paste the clipboard into the table. The result should more or less match the position the footer would have if the page were still in portrait orientation. Before you ask, yes this is (nearly) the only way, especially if your footer includes StyleRef fields that need to update. Yes, Microsoft knows what a PITA it is. The article at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...apeSection.htm describes similar workarounds going back to Word 97. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
