Word 6 has a facility to turn things sideways, but I haven't used it. The
simplest thing to do is to print the sideways page separately from all the
others, and get it sideways by selecting the landscape paper orientation
option in Page Setup.

If you just want to turn a particular word sideways (I think this may be
what you mean), I would do it by making the words into graphics and
rotating them 90 degrees in a drawing package. In Word 5.1, you can do
this easily with the drawing editor.
