You could post a sample problem document - absent proprietary info and someone here will likely take a look at it.

Keep in mind that Word is really not a page layout program. Publisher is.

How to put a portrait page number on a landscape page by Bill Coan, MVP

I am attaching a sample file with the problem.

To clarify, the pages that need to be vertically aligned are separate sections. Each section is separated by a Next Page section break, then the layout for that section is changed to landscape with vertical alignment. Then there is another Next Page section break, and the layout for the subsequent section is formatted in portrait with top vertical alignment.

I don't need help creating portrait page numbers on the landscape pages - that is working fine. The format and file type are mandated by the federal government and corporate policy, so we will not be changing those. I'm just curious why the vertical alignment works most of the time, but periodically doesn't.
