And your solution, if I follow correctly, will maintain the landscape

In fact, you don't have a landscape-oriented table at all: instead, you have
a portrait-oriented table with rotated text within it. If you want to add
further rows to your data, extra columns in your table would only squeeze
into the same page, not scroll off the right side of the (portrait-oriented)
page. You'll need either to construct separate tables on each page or else
add extra rows into which to paste your further material - but they may seem
like extra columns to the left when you are pasting in your text. But yes:
it appears that if you simply add rows to an existing table, the
rotated-text character property is indeed inherited from the existing rows.

I see, so the columns are the rows and vice versa. I see that this can be
made to work ... and it's an awful solution. (Not meaning from you, of
course, but speaking of the product.) What I wish to do is quite common in
the publishing world, at least for data-intensive publishing.
Thank you kindly, always.

If you want to including page with landscape format :
1. Show style and format window
2. Press Page Style button
3. Create new style and give new name, example Landscape_Page
4. Change page orientation on tab pages to Landscape. Press OK utton.
5. Chose menu Insert - Manual Break
6. From Style combo-list, chose Landscape_Page and press OK button.
Good luck
