Change page orientation mid-document

Hi,
Today’s TechRepublic newsletter included the following tip:

Change page orientation mid-document

Let’s say you have a chart or table that you want to include in a document, but it’s too wide to print across a standard sheet of paper. Using Word’s Page Setup menu, you can print a chart or table horizontally across a page while printing the rest of the document vertically.

Follow these steps:

Move the cursor to the line above the chart or table.
Go to File | Page Setup.
On the Margins tab, select Landscape under the Orientation section.
In the Preview section, select This Point Forward from the Apply To drop-down list, and click OK.

The rest of the document will now print in Landscape mode. To resume printing the pages vertically, follow these steps:

Move the cursor to the line below the chart or table.
Go to File | Page Setup.
On the Margins tab, select Portrait under the Orientation section.
In the Preview section, select This Point Forward from the Apply To drop-down list, and click OK.

Use this method to apply any changes you make in the Page Setup dialog box to any section of your document.

I tried it, but failed. The most I got is splitting my printed document to three parts, up to the begining of the landscaped format, up to the end of the landscaped format, beyond.
I tried it on a WordXP, not Word 2000, over a network printer.
What’s wrong?
