Select the table and rotate it 90 degrees. You can do this either by holding down the Command key and grabbing a handle (you will see the pointer change to a curved double arrow) or you may go to the Metrics Inspector and use the controls there.
If you need to edit after it is rotated, double clicking on it will rotate it back to horizontal for editing and when finished, return it to the vertical position.
Pages doesn’t really allow you to mix orientations… but it does let you fake it. Just rotate the elements on the page by 90º (or 270º, or -90º) and size them to fit.
Walt K of Savannah GA, whoever you are, thanks for this tip. You saved my (digital) life tonight.
