The trick to accomplish this is to create separate documents and to link them with the "next file" feature found in the format document dialog box. (There are, by the way, other reasons like speed, security, etc. for *not* making a complete thesis or book one huge Word document/file; always a good idea to keep things in small portions, chapters or even sections of chapters.) For the purposes of mixing page orientations, your first file would be all the text before the table that needs to be landscape, this file has its next file set as the table file (which has its page setup set for landscape). The table file has its next file set as the file that has the text that follows the table and the page setup is set back to portrait. All files after the first one should have their "number pages from" in the format document dialog box deleted; when the "number pages from" is empty, the document takes its pagination from the previous document that points to it with its "next file." If all the documents are printed together, or when a Table of Contents is compiled, there is one continuous pagination. You can also, if the files are being printed separately for some reason, set the "number pages from" to whatever the last page of the previously printed file was. -- Dana E.
