Default Is it possible to rotate an entire page by 90 degrees?

Thinking about this some more, I think both things are required. The
Landscape orientation rotates the page image 90 degrees, so the lines of
type will continue to be parallel to the short side of the paper when the
paper is physically turned.


No it doesn't!

But you also need to swap the height and width
measurements of the paper in the Page Setup dialog (and possibly also in the
printer driver's paper size definition) so the print area will have the
proper size.

I'm not sure changing to Landscape orientation would help much since
most printers feed landscape documents in portrait orientation and
just rotate the print. You may, however, be able to fool Word into
accepting a "landscape" orientation with greater height than width
(or a "portrait" orientation with greater width than height, which is
easier to think about).

In the dialog at File Page Setup Layout, select Landscape
orientation. --
