Is it possible to rotate an entire page by 90 degrees?
I am trying to print a document on A5 sheets. Unfortunately the paper jams
in my printer because it is half the "standard" page width for my printer. I would like to fix this by putting the page into the printer sideways, so the bottom edge is the full width of the printer. In order to do this, I would need to rotate the entire page by 90 degrees. Is this possible in Word 2003? It doesn't look as if my printer has this capability. |

In the dialog at File Page Setup Layout, select Landscape orientation. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

I'm not sure changing to Landscape orientation would help much since most
printers feed landscape documents in portrait orientation and just rotate the print. You may, however, be able to fool Word into accepting a "landscape" orientation with greater height than width (or a "portrait" orientation with greater width than height, which is easier to think about). -- Suzanne S.

Thinking about this some more, I think both things are required. The
Landscape orientation rotates the page image 90 degrees, so the lines of type will continue to be parallel to the short side of the paper when the paper is physically turned. But you also need to swap the height and width measurements of the paper in the Page Setup dialog (and possibly also in the printer driver's paper size definition) so the print area will have the proper size.
