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.

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.

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. What
causes
Page Layout to be dimmed?

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
