For some reason, entering text in a Word 2002 document is giving me problems:
instead of the classical left-to-right flow, the text starts to flow from the
top-right corner to the bottom-right corner (90 degrees rotation to the
right) - in Print Layout View.

I've checked Page Layout Margins Tab (Orientation is Portrait), and Preview
gives me an odd thing: text flows, indeed, top to bottom. All other things
seem to be OK, except that, on the Formatting Toolbar, all the alignment
buttons are, again, vertically oriented, not horizontal.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Aurel Zidaru

Assuming you don't have some international IME enabled, is it possible that
you are in a table or text box with text direction changed to vertical?

Thank you for your response.

No, the page is clean - i.e. no table or text box. I've asked the user to
send me the file and check it on my machine. If you think it's helpful, I can
forward you the Word document for further in-depth investigations.

Best regards,
Aurel
