Landscape Table on Portrait Page
Is it possible to create a landscape table on a portrait page, i.e. a page
with a normal portrait header and footer? I am aware that one can change the text direction of each cell in the table to simulate a landscape table, but I would like to know if there is not an easier way. |

Landscape Table on Portrait Page
Thanks Suzanne.
Not exactly plain sailing, and not very elegant as it requires a fair degree of trial and error to get the header/footer in exactly the same place as the other portrait pages. Perhaps the MVP community can make a suggestion in this regard to Microsoft for future improvement? "Suzanne S.

Landscape Table on Portrait Page
Believe me, the Word MVPs have been asking for this for several versions
now. Word 2007 actually does take a small step in that direction: among the available "building blocks" for headers and footers are headers and footers in the side margins. Change the text direction in one of those, and you've got a start. -- Suzanne S.
