Pasting in landscape into a document in portrait

Pasting a table in landscape view into a text document that reads better in portrait view: 

This may have a simple solution, but I have struggled with this for 2 days. I am having trouble pasting a large table that reads better in landscape view without changing the entire texted document to landscape as well. This is a report that needs to have the table as an appendix, not as an attachment. Can someone point me to where Windows 7 with new Office 2013 download has instructions to help me with this?

You need to insert two Next Page Section Breaks (from the Section Breaks part of the Breaks drop down in the Page Setup section of the Page Layout tab of the ribbon), and then with the selection in between the two breaks change the orientation for that Section of the document.
Hope this helps,

For "everything" on copying and pasting content that includes section formatting, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/workwithsections.htm. (The underlying principles of the article still apply, but note that the menu commands are for older versions of Word.)
