The trick to accomplish this is to create separate documents and
to link them with the "next file" feature found in the format
document dialog box. (There are, by the way, other reasons like
speed, security, etc. for *not* making a complete thesis or book one huge
Word document/file; always a good idea to keep things in small
portions, chapters or even sections of chapters.)

For the purposes of mixing page orientations, your first file would be
all the text before the table that needs to be landscape, this file has its
next file set as the table file (which has its page setup set for landscape).
The table file has its next file set as the file that has the text that
follows the table and the page setup is set back to portrait. All files
after the first one should have their "number pages from" in the format
document dialog box deleted; when the "number pages from" is empty, the
document takes its pagination from the previous document that points to
it with its "next file." If all the documents are printed together, or when
a Table of Contents is compiled, there is one continuous pagination. You
can also, if the files are being printed separately for some reason, set
the "number pages from" to whatever the last page of the previously printed
file was.
