Hey everyone, after ages trying to work out how to get page numbers on landscape pages to by aligned like a portrait page, i think I’ve cracked it! Might be a round about way of doing it, but bare with me!

Firstly choose the style of page number you want in the usual way. Then go to your already re-orientated landscape pages and click in that pages footer (or header if thats where your text is going), then under the design tab, un-click “link to previous” in the navigation box. Also do this for the page after your landscape one so that all the others don’t change as well. Next (while you are clicked in your landscape footer) click on page number in the design tab and select page margins, from this i suggest using “vertical, left” for a corner page number, or “large, left” for a central page number (dont worry you can change the style back later). After you have done this click on the new (wrongly orientated) page number and select the new ‘format’ tab at the top of the screen. Now click on “text direction” on the left of the screen until your page number is correctly orientated. Now highlight the contents of the box and go back to the design tab, choose page number, current position then choose your desired style. You will then have to change the font and the size in the usual way and maybe change the size of the text box and the position to match the other pages.

And there we go! Simples!

Hey, Im trying to insert a landscape portriat every now and then into my word document but the bloody page numbers keep going back to 1 when im up to 30 pages. When I try to change the page numbers all the page numbers get affected. How can I get my landscape page to follow the rest of the page numbers?

What if you want a whole section to be landscape?

NOTE TO ABOVE:

Sorry that makes no sense. I just want the text to rotate 90 degrees to the right when i set it on portrait, so it looks right.

Help. I have an invitation to print. The paper has already been cut and it is 14cm (width) /6cm (height. I have managed to set the page up on word 07 to fit that measurement (it is in landscape) yet as my printer will not allow something with only a 6cm height to go through i need to feed it through the other way (long ways). However when i change the page layout to portrait the writing remains in landscape. How do i get the writing to rotate with the page (page portrait, text landscape) Any help appreciated.
