Rotate table orientation

Anonymous

I have a word document in portrait orientation running over several pages that includes text, graphs. One of the page contains a 5 X 6 table which by default is also in portrait form. I want to rotate this table to horizontal form, which will enable my columns to expand and display text in a cleaner way. How this could be achieved ?

    The best option is really to insert a next page section break before and after that table and set the orientation of the page containing the table to Landscape.

    While you can rotate the text in a table (which would probably necessitate that you change the table from a 5x6 to a 6x5 table to obtain the same number of columns\rows), I personally find that to be an inferior method.
