Avery 5168 - Need to Make Landscape
Hi,
I am trying to change the orientation of these labels on Microsoft Office Word 2003 from Portfolio to Landscape so that I can print out labels. When I do this, it changes the whole formatting of the page. Any suggestions on how to handle this? -- Kathy |

You need to create a custom label. When you go to label options, click new
label. Set the top and side margin to 0.5", the label height to 3.5", the label width to 3.5",the vertical pitch to 4", horizontal pitch to 5", number accross and down both to 2, and set the page size to the Letter landscape (11 x 8 1/2"). Set the label name to something like 5168 landscape that you will recognize later so that you can reuse it from the custom list.

I'm sorry - the label width on previous should have been 5"

But with my way, you only have to do it once. Not everytime you need labels.
Which in the end, could very well make your way the hard way...

I would save the document I just created with sideways text and use that as
a basis for other similar files. ;-) Doncha just love that there isn't *just one way* to do things? -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "BoniM" wrote in message ...

Start with a blank sheet of those labels, put your text in. Highlight your
text, Format - Text Direction. You aren't changing the orientation but you are changing the direction your text is facing. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Kathy" wrote in message ...
