    I think I’ve made a mistake! Help!

    I have a 60 page document that has about 4 pages in the middle that are landscape perspective. These pages contain a table (almost like a spreadsheet) full of data.

    When I scroll through my document in Indesign it works well as when I get to those pages they are the right way around on my screen (i.e. landscape), so I can easily edit them.

    But when it comes to output, I am fearful they are not going to output the way I want them to. I expect they will try to print portrait even though they are landscape perspective.

    I can see how the Page Tool allows me to swing the pages around to portrait perspective in my document, but doing this does not take the landscape pages content with it.

    And I think I change the view of these landscape pages using the Pages panel, but I don’t think this affects output.

    Now that I have finalized my the content in my landscape pages, how to I change their perspective (taking the content on those page along for the ride) so that output will play nicely?

    I am sure this is super simple,,, but I haven’t stumbled upon the solution yet! Thanks for any help!

    Select the content and Ctrl + click, select transform / rotate and enter degrees to rotate – 90 ?
    Make sure you have correct reference point selected in the control bar (top left) so content rotates on the correct point. You can also use rotate command from the toolbar.
    You don’t need to set copy at wrong angle to be able to read / edit, just use page rotation to view.
