I need to rotate a table in a Word document (in order that the table
is rotated 90 degrees while the remainder of the page maintains its
orientation.)

I prefer not to convert the table to a graphic since any text
contained in the table would then be bit-mapped.

It seems that using embedded postscript commands is probably the way
to accomplish this but I'm stumped regarding the correct syntax.
I've had some success using other postscript commands in Word but
have yet to figure out how to rotate a table.

(I already spoke with technical support at Microsoft. They referred
me to Adobe. Adobe referred me to Microsoft. Word's User manual is
of very little assistance regarding postscript.)

Suggestions?
