Hi Cindy...and Welcome....yes, you are "doing it right"
I think I understand what you are trying to do....you want the text on
the document to be landscape, but you want the footer to appear as if
the page was portrait, eh?
Well....Word isn't great at this...this type of stuff is better done in
a Desktop Publishing program...but, to my knowledge, the only way you
can do this in Word is with a text box.
What you are trying to achieve is a different text orientation/direction
for the footer than what's in the actual page. So, since you have your
document set up in sections (you have to have this, since that's the
only way to get different parts in portrait and different parts in
landscape)....what you need to do is setup different footers for each
section.
In the sections that are portrait, just leave it as is
But, you need to go into the sections that are landscape and go to
View>Headers and Footers and remove the same as previous setting on the
header/footer toolbar so you can make the footer different for this
section then cut the footer text that's in there and paste it into a
textbox.....then drag the textbox outside of the header dotted box and
resize it so it's long and stretches down the left side of your page (if
the header dotted box got big on you, just grab it by it's edge and
resize it again...otherwise you will have a big empty space .....then,
make sure your textbox is selected and go to the Format menu and choose
Text direction and change it so it is vertical. Then go back to the
Format menu and click on Text box....click on the Colors and Lines tab
and choose "No line" in the dropdown for the line style so the text box
doesn't have the box showing around it.
Once you add this to the footer of all the sections, you need to be sure
your section headers and footers are applied to just the sections they
are in and NOT "same as previous"...that's a choice on your
header/footer toolbar.....always make sure this is NOT SELECTED before
you make changes, so the changes are only applied to the section you are
in.
I know it sounds sticky, but play around with it and you will figure it
out.
If you run into any specific snags, let us know and we will help you.
Good luck.

Subject: [mso] Footer in Word 2002
This is my first time posting to this list. I hope I do it
correctly. Please forgive me if I don't :)
I am having a problem with creating a footer in a multi-page document
that
has both portrait and landscape pages. I have text and the page number
in
the footer. I have it set to print at the bottom of the page which it
does
correctly. However, when I assemble the printed document, the landscape
pages are put in as portrait layout and the footer that was at the
bottom
of the page is now in the right margin.
I have never seen a document printed with both layouts together with
footers. Is this how it is suppose to be or is there a way to set the
footers for the landscape page that would create them in the left margin
so
when the printed page is set in the booklet it would be at the bottom
like
all the other pages.
It's very confusing....
Thanks so much for your help.
Warmly,
Cindy
