MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / March 2006Page number rotation: portrait - landscape
Imagine a book that has all page numbers in the lower right corner, even if a particular page has a table that is printed sideways. This is what I want to accomplish in Word 2003. My document has wide tables that are printed in landscape mode. For these pages, the page number appears in the upper right corner when the page is viewed in portrait mode. Assume I look at landscape pages in landscape mode, is it possible to move the page number from the lower right to the lower left corner and rotate it clockwise by 90 degrees? This way the number would appear in the proper position when all pages are arranged as in a book. I am only printing on one side of each sheet of paper so there is no issue regarding the page number position on odd or even pages.

Hi Fred: The others have referred you to an article that gives comprehensive instructions for doing this. However, personally I tend to fall back on a simplistic method: rotate the table :-) This is only practicable if the table is the only thing on the page. Copy it, paste it as a picture, rotate it 90 degrees, and delete the original. If the table is not going to change, it can be a lot simpler doing it that way than futzing around with rotated page numbers :-) Certainly not as "elegant", and not a realistic proposition if you need to update the table. It's a quick-and-dirty. It's not a good idea to try to "edit" the picture after you have pasted it. Some versions of Word will allow it, others will trash the table.

As described in the article, if you don't have to submit the document electronically, it's easiest to just print a blank page with the page number on it, then run the sheet back through the printer to print the table from another file.

Yeah :-) In the old days, I would construct a "Landscape" section at the end of the document and put all of the landscape content in there without headers and footers. In the body of he document I had a series of otherwise bank pages with the headers and footers. On my desk I had scissors and glue :-) Cheers On 26/3/06 2:24 AM, in article OKWDvlCUGHA.5336@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl, > My approach can be even more low-tech.

Many thanks to all who responded to my question. You have taught me several methods to approach my problem and I will have a use for all of them, depending on the complexity of the document I work with.
