Paper orientation
I cannot get the paper orientation to stay on landscape. I go to print, then
properties, click on landsacape, then apply then OK and it still will only print portrait. Is there a hidden step I am missing or am I just really computer illiterate. Please help |

If you want to use landscape orientation, select Page Setup from the File
menu and on the Margins tab, select the Landscape Orientation. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

In older versions of Word, this is on the Paper tab of Page Setup. Either
way, though, you need to set this in Word, not in the printer driver. -- Suzanne S.

Paper orientation
I have Microsoft Office 2008 and despite selecting Page Layout -
Orientation - Landscape my documents continue to print in portrait. This may be related to Vista on my machine. After setting the control panel to Classic View my file system becomes corrupted. I will soon be back on Windows XP and will retry MS Office 2008 using XP instead of Vista. Vista seems to have targeted my machine with all kinds of problems.

Paper orientation
The problem I have is that Page Layout is dimmed (inactive) so I can't do it.
The file was one I created by saving an rtf file as a word file. I finally got it to work by going into normal view, which undimmed Page Layout, then I switched back to print view. This is a very unobvious solution.

Paper orientation
Page layout settings will be inaccessible if the insertion point is inside a
text box. Switching to Normal view, where text boxes are invisible, will let you access File | Page Setup again. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bob D" wrote in message ...

Paper orientation
To clarify: Instead of changing views, of course you could just as easily
move the insertion point out of the text box. Placing the insertion point in the main body of the document will activate File | Page Setup. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
