How to set header & footer to be displayed vertically in MS Word?

How to set header & footer to be displayed vertically in MS Word?

I have a Word document which has portrait page orientation with headers
and footers. Now I have to put some tables & illustrations that are too
wide to fit into the portrait page - the page need to be oriented
landscape.
But when I change page orientation of the page (which is within section
bounds) the headers and footers are on the top and bottom of the wide side
of the page - which is logically correct, but it breaks the layout of the
document. I need the headers and footers to be on the narrow sides of the
page, irregardless of the page orientation.
I know, that I can insert the table as a (rotated) picture and never
change the orientation of any page of the document - but it is a messy
solution.
Does the Word has some mechanism for controlling orientation of headers
and footers, or did I just hit the wall of Word limitations as a
typesetting tool?
