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.

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?

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.
