I believe what you want to do is controlled by your particular printer
driver. Not all printers support landscape printing. *I* have a Canon
BJ-610 printer, and can put text rotated to any orientation on the
page. My previous printer (Panasonic KX-P2123 24-pin) only supported
rotated text in 90 degree increments. When I selected a text box, I had
the option of rotating the box in a dialogue box.
Anyway, I would first check to see if your printer supports text mixed
in portrait and landscape mode. Antoher way you might be able to get
around it is to print the whole page graphically.
Cheers,
Phil
