What you missed is that you must create the text boxes *in* the header and
footer; you must have the header/footer pane open when you create them
(this is spelled out in step 3). Objects anchored to the header/footer can
be placed anywhere on the page; see

Sorry, I must have missed something in the first round.
I did set the page to landscape and insert the table. I then made the
text
box for the rotated header and footer text for the "side" of each
landscape
page. I then had to copy these two texts boxes to each page of the table
since the header and footer of each page was now on the top and bottom of
the
landscape page.
This worked, but it seems to be a very long way around what should be a
simple formatting task.
I don't suppose there is any way to link the text boxes to the header and
footer?

You're going about this entirely wrong. You change the entire page to
landscape orientation and create your table normally. You then insert a
text
box or frame anchored to the header or footer/drag it to the appropriate
location in the correct margin, and change the text direction so that it
will read correctly when the page is rotated to portrait orientation. I
suggest you go back and reread the article, starting with the
instructions
for inserting section breaks and changing the orientation.

The table spans about 20 pages. When I treid to use a frame, I had to
break
the table into multiple sections of text for each page. That does not
help
since the table will be updated periodically and have to be continually
reasenbled and split up.
The end result I am after is a portrait page with a landscape orieted
table
spanning multiple pages - that is still editable.
Is there any way to rotate the pages and keep the header and footer in
the
portrait orientation?

Suzanne, thank you for your instructions, however I am still having
trouble.
I followed the instructions several times with the same result each
time -
the header and footer stubbornly stay attcahed to the orientation of
the
content.
I even tried several variations of your instructions, bt they did
not
seem
to work any differently.
I have a table that spans about 20 pages that must have the same
header
and
footer as the rest of the several hundred page document.
Any other ideas?

I have document that contains portrait style text and includes a
multiple
page table (20 pages) that I need to display as landscape due to
its
width,
but I still need to preserve the portrait style headers and
footers.
The
actual screen display does not matter as it will be printed
before
distribution.
Is there any way to rotate a multi-page table such that I can
still
edit
it
after insertion, and preserve the portrait style headers and
footers?
