Default Word 2007 Rotate printing for landscape pages

Hi ?B?Y2hpcHdhcA==?=,

I want to change the orientation of my landscape page when it is printed. I
have a document with both portrait and landscape pages. The document will be
bound at the left edge (for portrait orientation). By default, the landscape
pages are printed with the bottom of the landscape page at the binder edge.
I want to rotate the printed page so that the top of the landscape page is at
the left (binder) edge. Also, I want page numbers to match the portrait
pages (i.e., at the bottom of the 8-1/2 x 11 page, even for landscape pages).

Select each page that should be rotated, then in File/Page Setup change the
orientation. Word will insert section breaks for each orientation change.

You'll have to define your own headers and footers for the rotated sections.
Word unfortunately doesn't do this for you. First go through each section
(orientation change) in the header/footer view and turn off "Same as Previous".

Now create a rotated header/footer. In Word 2002 I usually use a Table and
rotate the text by 90 (or 270) degrees.
