Two orientations on one page in Word 2007
October 28, 2010 7:10 AM

Word 2007 filter: can I keep my headers/footers in one orientation and the body text in another?

My thesis has some pages with pictures, tables and text in landscape orientation. Is there a way to make Word to orient my text and figures as landscape, but keep the header/footer as portrait? And I'd like to keep the page numbers intact as well.

Only way you'll be able to do that is to rotate each of the pictures/graphs/tables 90 degrees. Unless I'm thinking about this totally wrong. Lemme draw a picture, and if I get this right, my answer holds:

Normal Page:

HEADERHEADERHEADER

Your picture pages: 
H   TABLETABLETABLE               F
E   TABLETABLETABLE               O
A                        PICTURE  O
D                        PICTURE  T
E                        PICTURE  E
R   TEXTTEXTTEXT                  R
Where HEADER and FOOTER would look right if you held the page in portait orientation

yes. Leave the page Portrait. Put content in a table, even if the table is 1 cell. Alter Text direction as desired. Remove table borders.
