Thank you for the link. I can see that this will accommodate double sided printing and allow for different headers and footers for odd and even pages.

However, I have a single-side only printer and when I print out the supplied example document I still get the landscape text running in the wrong direction.

My current document will be stapled/hole punched as a portrait document so when saying “left” I mean the spine/hole-punched long side of the paper, and “right” is the loose or flipping long edge.

The portrait pages are fine, but Word prints out the document with the landscape headers always on the right. The text reads, as one would expect line by line from header to footer.

What I’m looking for is for the header to be printed on the left side of the page, and for the text to read line by line from header to the footer on the right side of the page.

I can achieve this by manually turning all the landscape pages before binding the document, but this of course is no good if I am e-mailing the document.
I can also achieve the same result by converting the document to PDF and using Acrobat to rotate the landscaped pages.

But I had hoped to find a Word solution.

Many thanks for all your help – I feel a bit guilty about taking so much of your time.
