Rotate a word document for better use of laptop screen
Printed pages are of course generally longer than they are wide. I'd like a
way to rotate word documents so that I can turn my laptop on its side and use the full screen to read a bigger version of the document than the smaller "full page" view than I can see with my laptop monitor in its typical horizontal orientation. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Rotate a word document for better use of laptop screen
It sounds like what you need is a Tablet PC, which does permit this type of
rotation, or a rotating monitor. -- Suzanne S.

Rotate a word document for better use of laptop screen
Suzanne,
While a Tablet PC or rotating monitor would certainly work, you are missing the point of my request. I'm asking for a *software* feature to support this. To ask Word customers to go out and buy more hardware to get this benefit isn't a suitable solution. Many ordinary laptop users like me (BTW, a dramatically larger demographic than Tablet PC owners) would be quite appreciative. Thanks, Michael "Suzanne S.

Rotate a word document for better use of laptop screen
This is a job for third-party software, and I suspect that such is
available. In fact, a Google search turns up a product called Pivot Pro that will do what you ask. See http://personalcomputing.portrait.co..._overview.html. I would not hold my breath waiting for MS to incorporate this feature in Office. But I am confused as to how this would be helpful on an ordinary laptop with a fixed screen. If the display is rotated 90 degrees relative to the keyboard, won't it be pretty much impossible to use? I assume you are planning to use an external keyboard? -- Suzanne S.
