MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / November 2005Can I rotate Captions?
I don't seem to be able to do this. The Text Orientation option under the format menu is grayed out whenever I select my captions. Specifically, I want to have tables that are rotated 90 degrees, including the caption. I don't want to landscape the page, because I want the headers and footers to stay in the same place as all the other portrait pages, but in all other ways, I want these pages to appear to be landscaped. Any suggestions? Thanks, Colin See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/LandscapeSection.htm  SignatureSuzanne S.

If they're just descriptive text, you could use the "change text direction" button to change the table's orientation 90 degrees. > I don't seem to be able to do this.

There's no way to rotate an ordinary paragraph is there?

Text in table cells and frames can be cross-referenced; text in text boxes cannot. By default, if you use Insert | Caption to add a caption to a wrapped graphic, it is inserted in a text box; this can be converted to a frame, but it is generally more satisfactory to insert both the graphic/picture/figure/table and caption inline, select both, and insert them into the same frame (using the Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar).
