Hi esousa,

If both orientations conflict, Word will have to choose one, and it looks
like the File | PageSetup dialog is leading. This is how it works, period.

This Microsoft article states more or less the same:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304433/#E0SF0ADAAA
Look under "Cannot Print in Landscape Orientation". It applies to Word 2000,
but may very well be applicable to Word 2003 as well.

Good luck,
Cooz
