How do I rotate a table from landscape to portrait?

How do I rotate the calendar? I guess that really was my question. You just
stated it better.

If you've rotated the page, you don't need to rotate the calendar. How you
rotate the calendar depends on what it is: table, text box, graphic.
Whatever it is, if it doesn't need to be editable, you can copy it, then use
Paste Special to paste it back as a picture, change the text wrapping to,
say, Square, and then rotate it.

It depends on exactly what the "calendar" actually is. Can you edit it?

If it is an object (picture) that was pasted from another file you can
right-click it, go to Format Picture - Size then Rotate either 90 or 270
degrees... Or you can free-rotate it if there is a rotation handle extending
from the center sizing handle on on edge or the other [probably top or left]
when the picture is selected.

If it's a Table, however, it can't be rotated but what you may be able to do
is select the entire table then change the Text Direction.

It's hard to tell you exactly what to do if you can't tell us exactly what
you're working with
