Excel table sideways in Word?

[oboeguy]

So I'm putting together this report and I have some pretty wide data tables in Excel. I'd like to put them in Word but they are too wide for potrait orientation of the page. Is there some clever trick to either make a single page landscape or to put the table in sideways? I'm sure I could import the table as an image and rotate the image, but I want the data linkage that importing (pasting link, whatever) gives. TIA.

Update: Solved it myself. You CAN, in fact, change the layout settings per page or least you can for Office 2k3 (what we have here). Me == no0b. In the dialog box for "Page Setup" there's a drop-down I never noticed before which allows the user to apply the settings to the whole doc or "selected text". FTW!

WELL, the simplistic way is change your portrait paper to landscape. This will rotate the paper layout for you.

Yeah, sure, but can you do that for indivual pages? I thought this was a per-document setting? The rest of the report can't be in landscape layout.

Figured it out, see update in OP.

In Word...

File: Page Setup: Margins Tab

Choose your Orientation (Landscape), then look down below that. You should see a dropdown menu, select "this point forward." Change it back to Portrait on the next page following your tables, and apply that from "this point forward" as well.

[Edit: Curses!]

Sorry about that, I didn't realize you wanted it for a separate page. I would have told you that.
