Rotate a page containing a table
A table is displayed in landscape (Word 2003). We want to display that same
table in portrait by rotating the table 90 degrees on the page. Changing text direction changes the orientation of the columns on the page and wholly changes the table. Text boxes don't seem to help either; and when the table is inserted in a drawing object, the object rotates but the table does not. We finally ended up converting the table to a .pdf file and rotating the page 90 degrees. As usual, the .pdf is kind of washed out and lacks the clarity of the other tables. This should not be that difficult a task --- what am I missing? -- Wallace |

Rotate a page containing a table
Hi Wallace,
It is that difficult a task. Create a screendump on your clipboard (press Print Scrn) when the entire table is visible on your screen (you can use View | Full Screen), and paste it in Paint. Remove the surroundings of the table, rotate it and save it. In Word, choose Insert | Picture From File... This is more or less the same as what you did with the pdf, but maybe you get a better result this way. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.
