Default How to rotate a table

Thanks for the info, Herb

I'll keep the table as a separate 1 page landscape doc for purposes of updating, and place it into
the manual as a graphic.

Unfortunately, Word tables do not have rotational capability. It's something
I've wished Word had since day 1.

One option for handling headers/footers for landscape pages is to put the
header/footer material into a borderless text box and rotate the text in it
so that it's consistent with headers/footers in the rest of the document.

Either way, working with landscape tables in Word is a pain. Many end up
using the graphics approach... others use an old fashioned typewriter to
type the page numbers, etc. into the correct location.
