You got a rotated table and don't forget to set the text box outline and fill to none. Ignore any warning message. Don't worry if the table/text box flip back to landscape mode or is not displayed perfectly when you scroll through pages.<br />6. To print it into pdf, only use Adobe Pdfmaker (I have tried the built-in MS WORD save as PDF, cutePDF, and PDFcreator; they do not work well with rotated table in textbox) and if you are using a laptop, disconnect the secondary monitor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349897892874658559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280650735019731186.post-70738203084489105402015-02-04T22:20:43.658+01:002015-02-04T22:20:43.658+01:00Copy the word table to Microsoft visio, rotate the...Copy the word table to Microsoft visio, rotate the table in visio as required, then copy the rotated visio table back to word, done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280650735019731186.post-79162192454470439642014-09-19T01:22:48.934+02:002014-09-19T01:22:48.934+02:00"Cute PDF" seems to handle rotated table..."Cute PDF" seems to handle rotated tables it pretty well.<br /><br />Sometimes they are still scrambled, in that case: restart wordt and print it again using Cute PDF.

I've been struggling with this myself - two different tables that are multiple pages long, and HOURS of my life in already creating them only to run into this issue at the end for printing. Thanks for your post! I wanted to let you (and anyone else who finds this post) know that I discovered another way that is even easier - if you have Adobe Acrobat Pro for your PDF creation (which I have on a free 30-day trial presently), after you create the PDF of your document, keeping your landscape table pages as landscape, you can go in using Acrobat Pro and custom rotate the individual pages you want, so the whole table/page is preserved as is, and the pages are the right orientation for print. Whew! Best of luck with your project!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280650735019731186.post-64582530637199519402013-08-05T15:31:23.247+02:002013-08-05T15:31:23.247+02:00That's possible, but the problem there is that...That's possible, but the problem there is that you loose the quality of the table...
