Re: Rotating tables in Word

Pasting the cell contents isn't very efficient, but I think it's necessary in
this case. If you take an existing table and just change the orientation of each
cell's content, the cells wind up in the wrong order when you rotate the page to
read the table.

An example (I hope these tabs work...): this table...

BREED   PERSONALITY     COAT
Persian Cuddly      Long-haired
Siamese Vocal           Short-haired
Devon Rex   Playful     None to speak of

would wind up reading:

Devon Rex   Siamese Persian BREED
Playful Vocal       Cuddly  PERSONALITY

and so on... Unless I'm misunderstanding your suggestion.

Maybe some Word super-guru will know a much better way to do this...
(anybody??)
