MORE INFORMATION
When you rotate a page, existing shapes and guides rotate with it. In addition, there are some smart shapes that do not orient themselves as expected when you place them on a rotated page. Rather than dropping onto the page as they appear in the stencil, these shapes orient themselves with respect to the page rotation.

For more information about about how to enable page rotation, click Search on the Help menu, type Page Rotation in the What would you like to know? box, and then click Search to view the topics.
