Re: Landscape Table in Portrait Document

The convention for portrait pages (recto or verso) is top to the left and
bottom to the right. This permits you to rotate a document in just one
direction to view, for example, landscape tables that continue for more than
one page. Some printers reverse this orientation, which is a problem if they
also duplex. There may be a setting in the printer driver (Properties),
however, to change this.

Have read most of the posts on Landscape/Portrait orientation, but...
Have not found an answer to this problem

I have a Landscape word table in a portrait document, with section breaks
before and after the section.
When printed the portrait section prints as viewed with the page right
side
up.
The landscape table prints upside down.
For example page 3 is portrait and prints ok, but page 4 which is on the
back side of page 3 is the first page of the landscape table, and it is
printed "upside down" if you were to turn the document sideways
(counterclockwise) to read the table,

It would seem to me that page 4 when turned to read the document would be
top up, but its printed with the header on the right side an d the footer
on
the left side.

Too wordy, but could use a little help here
