LO 7.6.5.2

I believe I have done this before (not recently), but cannot find the earlier 
example or a solution documented in the LO Help or Writer Guide (6.0 or 7.2 or 
7.3 (the latest)).

I have a booklet [as it happens, a guide for election judges] which will include, at its centerfold, a long table 
summarizing the documentation for which a judge is responsible. Because that table is longer than a page length, I 
want to rotate it 90° counterclockwise, to span the the centerfold at what would otherwise be two pages. [Thus the 
page style "Booklet-middle" (14x8.5") is twice the width of the default "Booklet" 
(7x8.5") page, all printed on 14x8.5" paper. (Obviously one could similarly use A4 and A5, printed on 
A4.)]

To do this, I thought I could put the table inside a frame rotated 90° counterclockwise from the normal 
(superordinate) booklet text - but I can't find out how to do that.  The Writer Guide (6.0, 7.2, 7.3) has an 
oblique reference to "Marginalia" as an example of text frames rotated 90° from the page text, but 
no guide on how to do that. WG 7.2 and 7.3 even include a note, "An example is given in Chapter 8, 
Introduction to Styles" - but, alas, there is nothing there [likely a good intention that fell through a 
crack]. And, LO's online Help has nothing on "marginalia" or rotating frames.

Can someone point to what I am missing?

Thanks,
John
