Printed Output - Auto Orientation change from Portrait to Landscape for Big tables and images

In Word Printed Output, can Robohelp automatically convert big width tables and images into a landscape orientation? Is there an option? 

I am using Adobe Robohelp 2017.

    That makes sense. The CSS3 stuff is in later versions, Classic had the option to insert page breaks but no version has section breaks.

     

    As @Amebr says, that's a manual job in Word.

    I think the OP means insert section breaks before and after the table and change the page orientation for that section.

     

    There's no way that I know of at the moment, except manually in Word. There's some CSS3 paged media stuff that might help, but I'm not sure it's been implemented yet and only Adobe could answer definitively.

    There is no option in RoboHelp to change tables in that way, it is something you would have to do in Word post generation. I am not following how that would help though. If the image or table is too wide in portrait orientation, how would changing it to landscape help? The width is the issue, not the orientation.

     

    Are you expressing the width as a unit of measure or as a percentage?
