How do I position page numbers at the botto center of a landscape page 1

[lastdairyman]

Is there a way to position page numbers on a landscape page to be placed in the same bottom center position as a portrait page?

I have created a large report with the first 10 pages in the portrait position. The next 41 pages are large graphs that have to placed in the landscape position.

I intend to bind this report with all the pages the portrait position. Therefore the page numbers on the landscape pages are placed at “their bottom center”, but when I bind the pages the page numbers are turned up on the right middle margin.

Is there a way to force Word to place the page numbers in the position I wish so I have a consistent page numbering scheme throughout the report?

One way I can think of for you to do this is to rotate the content of each of the pages currently in the landscape orientation by 90 degrees counterclockwise from a portrait orientation. I think this will only work if your graph is a object (e.g. inserted as a graphic, or from an application such as Excel). This means that every page in your document is in portrait mode so your page numbering position would be consistent. If there is any text on the pages separate to the graphs, this can also be rotated if it is in a table cell or a text box (Format>>Rotate text).

Doesn't seem to work. There is not an option to rotate the table or the graph.

The table was made in Word. The graphs were made in Excel.

This is MS Office 2000.

Your idea sounded great, but it no options are to be found. What am I overlooking? I selected the table, but the object menu remained grayed out.

I selected the graph, then format, then oject, but no rotate to be found.

Thanks for your suggestion.

That article was rather wordy - but in a nutshell, I think the simplest way of doing what you want is to try the opposite direction from the first way I suggested (sorry it didn't work) i.e. place the graphs/tables in a landscape orientated page then add a 'false' footer by putting the text normally found in the footer into a text box instead (turn off the footer/header insertion in this landscape section by unlinking from previous header/footer). You can rotate the text in a textbox (and a table cell) but not obviously not a whole table or graph.
