Do you have a different technique for placing text in margins in a Word doc?

Neat!

That third one is a neat trick.

I edit an online publication that is supposed to look like a print publication. It's formatted in portrait, but sometimes there are tables that need to be put in in landscape. In a print publication, the headers on a page whose body is landscape would still be in the portrait position.

Getting Word to play nice when you're setting that up is not straightforward. I think you're solution of rotated text box that's associated with the header, but doesn't appear in the header space is brilliant and much easier than other methods I've used.

Just remember that any table you put in the header and then move will appear on every page in that section, not just the current page. If you're just wanting to change the orientation for the tables, use sections -- create a section for the table and set the section's orientation to landscape.
