Word, footer orientation

We have a document which is landscape but we want the footer page numbers to be portrait - can we change the orientation of the page numbers only?

Thanks

RE: Word, footer orientation

Hello Jonathon,

Could you explain more, I don't understand what you are trying to do. The orientation is how the page is, and has no reflection on headers or footers.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

RE: Word, footer orientation

Hello Jonathon,

It's not possible to have the page numbers portrait position on a landscape page, Word does not have any settings or options for this automatically. Although it's not impossible! You could perform this manually by unlinking the landscape page from previous footer, then draw a text box in the location you want the landscape page number. Use the Insert Field, Page number code to place auto number in text box. Finally rotate the text box into position., this could be copied on to other landscape pages.
This can be time consuming, but the page numbers are automatically updated, but is the only way this can be done.


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

Have a great day.
