Rotate tables with steady headers and footers

I am following up on a comment that was originally posted by
on 7/15/05. I have paraphrased the original post below:

I have a table that is too large to insert in portrait mode. But I need the
printed document to have the header and footer in the same orientation as the
rest of the document. Right now to rotate a table, and still have it behave
properly, you must change the page orientation, which results in the header
and footer being on the left and right sides of the page not the top and
bottom.


I am having the same problem, and the posted work arounds do not work for me
because
1- I need the recepient of the file to be able to edit the table- so I
cannot use the "picture" workaround, and
2- I need to send it electronically as one file, and cannot just hand it
over printed.

The original responses indicated that people are already aware that this is
a problem. My questions are- is this already fixed in 2007 software? I am
still working in 2003, but would upgrade if it works now. If not, is there
another workaround out there?

Thanks so much for your time,
Heather

The workaround discussed at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...apeSection.htm applies to Word
2007 too.
