Rotate page header

I usually number my sheets in the header with a &tab &page. Unfortunately, while most of my sheets are in portrait mode, a few perforce have to be printed in landscape to fit. The problem then is that the header prints on the top left of the page as one files it away in a binder and therefore is not visible if you are flicking through the binder, and I would like it to be on the top right as one looks at an A4 sheet in portrait mode.

In other words, when I have a landscaped sheet, I would like there to be a footer in the bottom right. However, as the file will be viewed "normally", ie in portrait mode, I would like the footer to be rotated 90 degrees to the right.

Possible?

how's that for my first bit of programming?

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
The only way I know to achieve that is to copy the range to be printed, select a cell outside that range, hold down Shift and choose Edit|Paste Picture Link. If you right click this picture (which will change to reflect any changes in its source) you can choose Format Picture and rotate it 270 degrees on the Size tab. Then you can print it in portrait with the header where you want it.

Thank you Andrew. That was again a new one on me that you get additional menu choices by pressing Shift.

I have tried your trick, but have not got exactly what I want (yet). I think this has possibilities though, and will keep plugging away.

Kind regards
